The story of Vasilis

On October 25 of 2020, little Vasilis, who was 6 months old at the time, was rushed to the hospital after manifesting high fever and ear swelling. The little boy had been hospitalized there for 3 weeks, while the attending physicians were trying to understand what was causing the high fever. Since the doctors couldn’t make a diagnosis, he was transferred to “Agia Sofia” Children’s Hospital in order to undergo a series of tests. The results indicated that the little boy suffered from a rare form of chronic granulomatous disease, which requires a bone marrow transplant. Crushed by this unforeseen situation, his family is struggling to support him in any way possible. In the midst of the pandemic, they have to constantly travel back and forth, in order to care for their baby who he is being hospitalized in Athens. Vasilis still has a long way to go, since according to medical data, he suffers from an extremely rare form of this disease and the medical treatments in order for this child to survive are very expensive.
Let us all stand by this family throughout this ordeal and pray so that little Vasilis returns home as soon as possible!

Update 29.01.2021

After a long-term hospitalization, Vasilis got discharged from the hospital, where was diagnosed with a rare form of chronic granulomatous disease, which requires a bone marrow transplant. All this time, he was subjected to all the necessary treatments, while being closely monitored by the medical and nursing stuff. When his condition got stabilized, the attending doctors recommended that he should return home, until a compatible bone marrow donor was found. Following doctor’s orders, the little guy returned home, where he now receives his treatments in a fully sterilized environment. He has managed to gain some weight and he frequently visits the hospital in order to be subjected to the necessary tests. His father and little sister are taking good care of him and thanks to your defining contribution they have managed to overcome their daily struggles. 

But the problems of this family don’t stop here. While the baby was struggling to stay alive, the mother suffered a heart attack and was rushed to the UCI of the University Hospital. The doctors managed to keep her stabilized, but the mother suffered acute quadriplegia. Currently, she is unable to move and function properly therefore she is being hospitalized to a rehabilitation center, where she is subjected to a series of treatments in order to get better. We still don’t know how long it’s going to take until the mother makes a full recovery, since her condition depends on various factors. The mother wasn’t informed about her baby’s condition until recently, since this information could have had a negative impact on her already critical condition. Due to these difficult circumstances the father is unable to work, since he has to take care of his wife and children. 

We would like to kindly thank all of you for supporting this family! The boy and the mother still have a long way to go, but thanks to your defining contribution, the “Act of Kindness” organization will keep on supporting this family for as long as needed.

Update 06.04.2021

Thanks to your defining contribution, Vasilis’ health has shown great improvement. He still remains home, where he is being submitted to all the necessary treatments, while he is being cared for by his father and little sister. If his condition remains stable, he will soon be transferred to a specialized medical center along with the candidate donor, in order to verify their compatibility. His mother’s condition has also shown great improvement, thanks to the care of the medical and nursing stuff of the rehabilitation clinic. She now has full control of her abdominal muscles, as well as parts of her left hand. The attending doctors feel very optimistic about her condition. The mother keeps on fighting, while praying for the best possible outcome for her and her son.  

We would like to kindly thank all of you for supporting this family. The little boy and the mother still have a long way to go, but thanks to your defining contribution, the “Act of Kindness” organization will keep on supporting this family for as long as needed.

We will keep you updated.

Update 24.05.2021

The latest information regarding Vasilis’ condition, are very promising. Thanks to your defining contribution, and after being submitted to all the necessary treatments, the little baby was transferred today, on 24.5.2021, to the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit (BMTU) of “Agia Sofia” Children’s Hospital, accompanied by his father. According to the attending doctors, the bone marrow transplant procedures have already begun. After a series of tests, the doctors concluded that the person who can offer him a chance in life, the person who constitutes a compatible donor, is his older sister. The little baby will remain hospitalized for the next month and a half until the procedure is completed. Then, he will be transferred to a specially-formed, sterilized wing, where he will remain for 2 more months, in order to receive the medical care that he needs. The mother is still being hospitalized at the rehabilitation clinic and she will remain there until she makes a full recovery.

Update 30.07.2021

We are deeply saddened to say goodbye to our beloved Vasilis, who spent the past 9 months fighting this uneven battle to stay alive.

We would like to express our sincere condolences to his family, for their terrible loss, and we pledge to support them for everything they might need.

Rest in peace little guy!

The story of Maria – Helen and the rescue of her right leg

The touching story of the brave girl begins at a very young age, when she was diagnosed with a failure to form the upper part of her right leg (thigh). This condition made it extremely difficult to support, walk and functionally the leg from infancy to adulthood. Maria-Helen could not use her right leg and walk normally, even with the use of aids. Due to all these malformations and deficiencies from the age of 1.5 years (2005) to 2021, when she was 18 years old, she had undergone multiple surgeries to restore her health.
Allies and guardian angels in this difficult struggle, her parents, who supported her and continue to support her in every possible way all these years. Her father was forced to quit his job in 2019, as due to severe stress he suffered a severe myocardial infarction while the mother was the only member of the family who could work. Parents were trying to support their child in his long rehabilitation and by 2021 they had spent more than 200,000 euros on hospitals and doctors. But the needs were great and the road long.
The extra surgeries could not be performed as, of course, the resources were exhausted. In May 2021, the father contacted us asking for our intervention to restore his child’s health. We immediately proceeded to a thorough social and medical research to find the most effective solution regarding the course of the medical actions required. The total estimated cost of the operations and treatments that our beloved friend had to undergo, amounted to 30,000 Euros.
Without any delay, we proceeded to a campaign to raise the amount of money while at the same time we offered psychological and moral support to the family members with the aim of encouraging and raising their morale. In the course of just one month we collected and offered the family the required amount that would offer Maria-Eleni the healthy future she deserved!
At the same time and always with a view to creating the best possible conditions for the restoration of our little one’s health, we settled previous financial debts of the family related to relevant medical interventions. In the very next period, Maria-Eleni underwent two successful operations and gradually continues her treatments until her complete restoration.
All this time we are firmly on the side of our beloved friend and her family, we support them in counseling, we encourage them for their struggle and we try to relieve them in every possible way. We continue and will continue to be by their side in the future providing the care and support they need!

See the campaing of Maria – Helen

Maria-Eleni is an 18 year-old girl from Giannitsa who urgently needs our help, in order to save her right leg!
Until this day, this brave young girl has been subjected to numerous operations, since she was diagnosed at a very young age, with congenital limb defect, which means that the ligaments in the tibiofemoral and pelvic joints, the femur and the muscles surrounding these areas, have not been formed properly. As a result the young girl experiences difficulty when walking, even when using orthopedic devices.
The surgeries so far have been successful. However, she still has a long way to go, since, according to the attending doctors, it’s imperative that she undergoes a series of additional surgeries on the tibiofemoral joint since the ligament damage is so severe that she is not able to stand on her own. Furthermore, she must be subjected to additional plastic surgeries due to deformed scars and muscular dystrophy.
Her parents have been supporting her every step of the way. However, her father had to quit his job two years ago, since, due to prolonged stress, he suffered a severe myocardial infarction. Currently, her mother is the sole financial provider of their household. Till this day, her parents have spent over 200,000 euros for surgeries and medical expenses. The cost for these additional surgeries amounts to 30,000 euros, a sum that the family cannot afford.
*The Act of Kindness organization, took on this case after the parents’ call for help. The girl’s medical records have been thoroughly examined by the organization’s pediatrician, Mrs. Noula Paraskevi.
Let us all contribute so that this young girl can have a better quality of life!
Together, we can give a ray of hope to Maria-Eleni and her family!
Any contribution, big or small, can make a difference!

Update 26.07.2021

Together we’ve made it happen!

Thanks to the sensitivity and support of hundreds of people from Greece, but also from abroad, we have managed to raise the required amount for Maria-Eleni’s surgeries. 

The sum that was raised thanks to your immediate response amounts to 40,000 euros. 30,000 euros will be required for the necessary surgeries and her hospitalization, while the remaining 10,000 euros will be given to her family in order to pay some of their debts they have accumulated from her previous treatments. 

On behalf of her family, we would like to kindly thank all of you for your support and your defining contribution. 

The “Act of Kindness” organization will stand by this family until this 18 year-old-girl makes a full recovery.

We will keep you updated!
