Our sweet boy Adam
“You have drawn an unlucky ticket,” Gabija, the mother of just 1.5-year-old Adomelis, heard from the doctors. After detailed examinations in Kaunas clinics, the boy was confirmed to have an extremely rare diagnosis - retinoblastoma (eye cancer).
Unfortunately, this disease is not treatable in Lithuania, so the boy’s mother, with tears in her eyes, appeals to all people of good will to give her son hope for treatment at an eye clinic in Switzerland. Although the treatment itself is reimbursed, the cost of flights, accommodation and other essential expenses reaches at least 30,000 euros per year, and the treatment often takes at least five years. Adomelis’s first visit is scheduled for June 5.
"Both of Adam's eyes are damaged: two smaller tumors - 2 and 3 millimeters - were found in the right eye, and the situation in the left eye is much worse - a 10-millimeter tumor with fluid accumulation and a detached retina was found. Adam cannot see at all in that eye. How can you accept this? How can you live knowing that your little one does not see the world in all its colors? He has not even had time to understand what life looks like yet, and he already has to fight for it...", laments the boy's mother.
