Life without immunity: Mikhail needs medicine. 6

Misha Nikolaenko will soon be eight years old. This boy lives a difficult life. Due to a genetic disease, Misha has a very low level of immunity. Literally from the moment of birth, a child suffers from all kinds of ailments. This is a rash, and frequent inflammation, removal of lymph nodes, surgery on the leg... Later, doctors identified the cause of Misha's frequent illnesses. The boy has chronic granulomatous disease. This is a very rare disease, when the child's immunity is practically zero and the body's resistance to infections is negligible. Treatment is accompanied by massive doses of antibiotics and antifungal drugs.

Misha rarely attends school due to frequent illnesses. She mostly studies at home. The boy likes school, he has many friends there. He sits calmly in class and loves school holidays very much. Misha doesn't like to write, but he reads well. Music lessons and creativity are his favorites. I managed to make friends with my namesake, the boy Misha and the girl Milana, with whom, as it seems to his mother, he had already fallen in love. The kid is keenly interested in tanks, military vehicles and guns. Misha has a great-grandmother and he loves to listen to her stories about the war.

“Misha just suffered from stomatitis, – writes Misha’s mother, – and sometimes the lymph nodes became inflamed. We were all very worried! Thank God everything has returned to normal". Now Misha needs to take Orungal again. The cost of 6 vials  the drug for the course of treatment is 18 523 UAH.

Misha's parents are not coping with all the treatment needs. For a long time, donors have been helping the Nikolaenko family treat their son. On behalf of Misha Nikolaenko's mother, we convey our gratitude to caring people for the help and support of our son.
