With your help, we purchased essential medical supplies for 10 seriously ill children: feeding tubes, suction tubes, tracheostomy tubes, and suction catheters. Without these items, the children cannot grow, receive specialized nutrition, or breathe freely.

Feeding tubes are necessary to deliver liquid food, water, and medication directly into the stomach or intestines when a child cannot chew or swallow on their own. A tracheostomy tube helps the child breathe. Maintaining it requires a constant supply of suction tubes—sterile tubes used to clear the tracheostomy and airways.

These supplies represent a significant expense for families caring for a seriously ill child. Yet, they are constantly needed; without them, it is impossible to ensure a safe and dignified life. Thanks to you, these families have already received a supply of the necessary items. Now, they can care for their children with peace of mind for the coming months. Thank you so much for your support!

About the campaign

Let's help buy tracheostomies and tubes for Misha and other seriously ill children!

When Misha was born, he developed according to his age, actively playing with toys and observing everything around him with interest. But soon his parents began to notice alarming symptoms. Before he was even a year old, he had his first epileptic seizure. After additional tests, doctors diagnosed him with Menkes syndrome.

Currently, there is no treatment, and medications are in the testing phase. His parents didn't give up and, together with specialists, found a therapy that helps control the condition.

Misha requires special care. He has a tracheostomy, which helps him breathe. Maintaining it requires the constant purchase of tubes—sterile tubes used to clean the tracheostomy and airways. These consumables represent a significant expense for the family. Therefore, we are launching a fundraiser to help pay for tracheostomies and tubes for Misha and other seriously ill children. Support this fundraiser and help them breathe freely!
