For the first six months of his life, Alisher grew and developed like a normal healthy child. The baby smiled all the time and almost never cried. “Our little smiley face” - Sitora affectionately calls her son. But at six months old, multiple red dots and bruises began to appear on the boy's body.
Alisher spent two months in hospital, he was examined for all sorts of pathologies and finally was correctly diagnosed with congenital immunodeficiency, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. It means that because of a rare genetic breakdown Alisher has no natural defense of the body. And also - there is a high risk of internal bleeding due to critically low levels of platelets in the blood.
Now Alisher is in line for a bone marrow transplant - doctors are looking for a suitable stem cell donor. For the kid it is the only chance to completely defeat the dangerous congenital disease. The wait may be long, and to keep Alisher's condition from worsening, he needs replacement therapy, which will stimulate the production of important blood cells.
Dear tubers, we are raising funds for irreplaceable medicines for the baby. May he regain a happy and full childhood.
