Masha is a wonderful girl from a large Orthodox family where ten children are growing up. Right now Masha needs our help very much. She has a rare disease of the blood vessels of the brain that requires urgent surgical treatment.<\/p>\n
In April 2026, Mash\u2019s parents noticed that her hand was involuntarily twitching. They immediately suspected the worst, because these symptoms were familiar to the Patoskas family. The MRI confirmed: it\u2019s myoma. The arteries in the brain are gradually narrowing, blood flow is impaired, and with it comes an increased risk of a stroke. Mash has at least four damaged vessels in her brain. Her condition is deteriorating. The twitching has now also appeared in her legs.<\/p>\n
Operation Machi at a specialized children's center in Zurich is scheduled for November 20, 2026. Delaying the treatment is dangerous: the younger the child is, the faster the blood vessels can close, and the higher the risk of a stroke.<\/p>\n
The cost of the operation is \u20ac184,000. For six months now the family has been raising funds on their own. Mom works as a cleaning lady at the church, and Dad sings in the church choir and serves as a priest\u2019s assistant. The parents managed to raise almost \u20ac85,000, but the remaining amount is unaffordable for the family.<\/p>\n
We want to support the family and are launching a partial fundraising drive of \u20ac26,000. Our goal is to give parents more time to raise the remaining amount by November 20.<\/p>\n
Every contribution now brings us closer to the day of the operation. Please respond to this urgent appeal. Give Masha a chance for a healthy future.<\/p>\n
