Victor
Gurtiakov
Vitya is a very cheerful and emotional boy who loves to play and socialize, swim in the pool and work with the speech therapist. The lessons are yielding very good results.
But in 2019, when he was 7 years old, the boy was able to sit, kneel and walk while holding his parents' hands. It's all about the fact that he is constantly tormented by epilepsy attacks. Vitya even stopped sleeping normally: as soon as he begins to fall asleep, seizures immediately begin.
His parents have been fighting for the boy's health all his life, constantly undergoing rehabilitation courses, consulting and searching for new methods of treatment, but the situation was getting worse and they were losing heart. Anticonvulsants did not help Vita, and hormone therapy could not be used anymore.
Thanks to your support it was possible to collect 18,116 $ for an examination at Tel Aviv Medical Center (Israel), during which a suitable treatment was selected.
Parents' appreciation
We would like to thank Together Forever Charitable Foundation and all concerned people for their help in raising funds for our son. We are very happy that we were able to show our child with severe epilepsy to qualified doctors.
The trip was not easy and in some places difficult: with a child who does not walk independently and at any minute can have severe seizures, you always have to be on the lookout. We had to overcome two flights of 4 hours, but Vitya was very good, he tolerated everything very well. The fresh air and the sea had a very good effect on him.
I am very happy that we were able to find such a treatment for us, and I hope that it will help us. Vitya has already seen the first results after the new anticonvulsant - his seizures are much less!
