The Lord hears sincere prayers and wraps His kindness around the asker... Our seriously ill children often ask God for help. Children's prayers are sincere and full of hope... In them pure souls reach out to the Lord and, with the faith that is unique to children, hope that God will hear them. How happy to see God's care, when merciful…
Masha dreamed of flying over the circus dome and was rapidly moving toward her dream, attending the circus club. She easily succumbed to twine and other gymnastic figures, and nothing foretold trouble. After a routine vaccination, Mashenka's joints became inflamed.
After a thorough examination, the girl was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, systemic variant (a rare pathology, which is one of the most common causes of physical disability in childhood).
All my dreams and plans for my circus career crumbled in an instant.
In the Donetsk Regional Children's Clinical Hospital a long and hard road of treatment began. The girl's legs were taken away, her whole body was twisting, and she could hardly stand all the tortures that came with treatment. Because of the long period of taking hormones Mashenka gained a lot of weight, which put additional strain on her inflamed joints. And the sudden death of her father had a great effect on the girl's psychological state, and the stress she endured made her withdrawn. The last blow for Olga, Mashenka's mother, was the appointment of the drug "Actemra", preparation which costs 100 000 rubles per bottle, without regular introduction of which Mashenka's life could crash at any moment.
Thanks to help of our Belgian friend Yves Vanroy, our foundation bought this medicine for Masha. However, 100 000 roubles a month is an unaffordable amount for Masha's mother.
