Nowadays, we are now caring, as never before, for up to five children whose treatment and trips to Swiss clinics depend on all of us, whose parents, thanks to the good people, can at least have a little more peace of mind when the financial burden falls.
A few days ago, two of our little ones - Ajus and Emilija - returned from clinics in Lausanne. Emilija being treated for malignant eye tumor (retinoblastoma), and Ajus case is the only one in Lithuania and will require a lot of treatment.
Each time we look forward to the return of the children and the news of treatment. We rejoice in their small successes and in their sadness when the disease does not become overcoming for a long time.
However, we know that the top five will surely succeed, because they have a bunch of sincere people sacrificing their shoulders, following the stories of the children and making donations.
This time, we're sharing Ajus mom's letter:
"Hello Dear,
We finally returned to a very long house after a nearly 2 month trip to Switzerland.
As always, we have semi-good news. I am glad that it is better than it was before. In Lithuania, our doctor angelic guards rescued the eye and transplanted the cornea to protect the eye because it does not know why, but was a sudden deterioration and the biggest thank you Kaunas Clinic ophthalmologists for everything about our Ajus and still do. While we were in the hospital, an Ajus like cornea emerged in Switzerland as a matter of urgency and began to guard until we came to them. When our doctors decided it was safe to travel, we flew to Switzerland for a new good corneal transplant that suited Ajus. The operation went great. Only that little kid's body is attached to the natural and uninhibited cornea, so our path is still going on. Thank you for all your prayers and financial support. Without you, we would also be in trouble. I beg you to forget all of us, and sometimes pray to make this miracle faster for our Ajus.
Friends, classmates, people you know and don't know you are wonderful. I cannot express in words the generosity I feel for you all. You are doing wonders. The good people in the toughest times and the word good help to move forward, and financial support has saved our goal of helping Ajus see this wonderful world.
With us, Ajus Family ".
Over the period of three months we had been providing essential nursing care items (diapers, wet wipes, and covers) and dispensed: diapers – 50 pcs, wet wipes – 42, covers – 60.
For families whose children are treated in Vilnius University Santaros Children’s Hospital and in Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kaunas Clinic we also provided support and organised events. During these events we presented items for the use in the children's activity room – 15 learning games, 100 big boxes of candy for all children in the hospitals.
