Breath of hope: support for Erikas 

A three-year-old Erikas takes part in our project from the very beginning; the boy is looking forward to go to rehabilitation. Erikas has no swallowing reflex from his birth, he receives food only through a gastrostomy. Also, Erikas breathes through a tracheostoma, has cerebral palsy and other mixed developmental disorders. According to the doctors, he is still like a 4-month-old baby.
Under the second part of the project we supported this family with essential nursing supplies and nutrition. Erika’s parents wrote, “thanks to you, we were able to purchase so much-needed spare mucus aspirator that is already used in special kindergarten; we also purchased the daily nursing supplies we especially needed, feeding syringes, plug-in power supplies through gastrostomy, backup tracheostomy, medications, and expensive vitamins.

Thank you very much again for your support and thank you for being with us, when we needed the help so much”.
