=====================================
Mark was born prematurely. During childbirth, the boy suffered a stroke, so from the first minutes of his life he was in intensive care. During this time, the baby has undergone eight surgeries, meningitis, sepsis, and hydrocephalus. He was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect and multiple cysts in the brain. Despite everything, this little boy proves his incredible will to live every day.
Since birth, Mark has never been home — doctors have not yet been able to stabilize his condition. The boy is constantly in intensive care and breathes with the help of a tracheostomy. Due to frequent breathing stops, he requires round-the-clock medical supervision and specialized equipment.
Together with you, we have already helped Mark — we purchased a drainage system twice, the antibiotic “Zavicefta,” and a gastrostomy.
Mark’s family left the occupied territory and now lives in Zaporizhzhia. It is very difficult for the parents to cope with all the expenses on their own. We ask you to support this little boy and help him finally return home.
Current needs of Mark: New fundraiser for medical equipment
