Andrei is 12 years old. At first glance, he is no different from his peers, but his childhood is marred by a rare disease - hereditary hypogammaglobulinemia. This is a congenital disorder of the immune system that prevents the body from fighting infections. Each exacerbation becomes a serious challenge for the boy and his family.
Despite the disease, Andrei remains an active and cheerful child. He is very sociable, easily finds friends and is fond of sports. From the age of five Andrei practiced judo and devoted four years to it, but had to leave it due to his health condition. But now he is happy to go skiing, skating and even snowboarding, if his health allows.
Recently, Andrei developed intestinal problems. In order to prescribe the appropriate treatment, doctors need to conduct a videocapsule endoscopy - this examination will reveal the cause of the deterioration of the condition, and find the right treatment. However, the procedure is paid for, as it is not covered by the OMC program, and its cost for the family turned out to be unaffordable.
Let's help Andrei undergo this important examination! Your support will allow the family to start the right treatment to return Andrei to an active and joyful life!
