Report

For several months now, Artem has been using the inhaler recommended by the doctor, which you helped him acquire. Now, daily therapy has become a part of the boy’s life—and there have been significant changes in his condition.

Artem has found it easier to cough up phlegm and gets sick less often. But the most important result of these months of regular and effective treatment has been the opportunity to attend school—not home schooling, as was planned just six months ago, but in the regular way!

On September 1st, Artem started first grade. He really enjoys studying and goes to his lessons with pleasure.

Artem and his mother thank you for your help, for the opportunities you have opened up for the boy, and for the chance to take control of his illness. Thank you!

About the campaign

Artem needs a special inhaler for his daily treatment

Six-year-old Artem has suffered from frequent respiratory infections, rhinosinusitis, bronchitis, and gastrointestinal problems since birth. The causes are unclear—doctors suspect cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, or an immunodeficiency—and are referring the child for various diagnostic tests. And while there is no definitive diagnosis yet, the family is forced to purchase everything needed to treat his symptoms on their own, as Artem cannot receive anything through his compulsory health insurance.

Right now, to take his medication, he needs a new inhaler with nasal and airway attachments—these ensure that the medication reaches its target safely and accurately.

Diagnosing genetic diseases can take anywhere from 6 months to a year. Artem needs help so that he doesn’t go without vital treatment during this time and doesn’t face serious complications that could further worsen the course of his illness.
