The story of Antonis
Antonis Georgopoulos is a 10 year-old boy from the village of Kidonia in Imathia. He suffers from severe cerebral palsy, severe cognitive impairment, spastic quadriplegia and drug-resistant epilepsy.
In 2019, and while being perfectly healthy, he was diagnosed with FIRES syndrome, which resulted to paralysis of his central nervous system. Until this day, Antonis remains confined to a bed. He has no awareness of his surroundings and he is unable to move.
This child immediately needs physiotherapy sessions on a daily basis, in order to avoid irreversible damage to his musculoskeletal system.
The boy’s medical records have been thoroughly evaluated by the organization’s pediatrician, Mrs. Noula Paraskevi.
Let us all contribute so that this young boy can have a better quality of life!
Any contribution, big or small, can make a difference!

However, Antonis still has a long way to go. He must proceed with his physiotherapy sessions in order to avoid irreversible damage to his musculoskeletal system.
Update 17.10.2021
Thanks to your generous contribution, for the past month Antonis is being subjected to all the necessary physiotherapy treatments on daily basis. The results so far show a great improvement of his respiratory and metabolic functions. Also, the boy has gradually begun to regain a slight movement of his extremities. The next goal will be introducing a series of new exercises while wearing a torso narthex. This will gradually improve his body posture and eliminate the formation of bedsores.
We would also like to remind you, that thanks to your immediate response, the family has acquired in just seven days, the medical equipment which was indispensable for the improvement of this boy’s health.
On behalf of Antonis’ family, we would like to kindly thank all of you for your defining support. We will stand by this family’s side for as long as needed. Your contribution is of the essence, so that the little boy can carry on with his treatments.
Together, we can give a ray of hope to this family!
