Vladimir Kotov, pediatric orthopedist-traumatologist at the Center for Congenital Pathology of the Global Medical System Clinic (GMS Clinic, Moscow): “The girl developed scoliosis due to unsuccessful treatment for congenital dislocation of the hip joints. Due to bone dysplasia, the head of the right femur was destroyed. We examined Angelina and considered that the case was very advanced and complex, so we recommended that the girl’s parents contact foreign clinics. Our German colleagues will begin Angelina’s treatment with endoprosthetics of the right hip joint. I hope the treatment will be successful and the girl will be able to sit and walk normally.” →

Leading orthopedic technician at the Novavis Center for Prosthetics and Rehabilitation Wolfgang Gröpel (Waldenbuch, Germany): “Damir has congenital underdevelopment of both hands and feet. We are ready to make him bionic prosthetic hands, which almost completely repeat the movements of the hands, reading a person’s own electrical impulses. With their help, the boy will be able to grab objects and write quickly. Special silicone foot socks will also be made to fill the missing part of the foot. The boy will be able to take a shower and swim in the sea in them. A special attachment with fingers will be made for the multifunctional prosthesis of the right hand, simulating fine motor skills. Damir will be fully adapted to independent life.” →

Rusfond on the First. History sixty-five

We expect a new story on the evening news and the Vremya program on Channel One. Today's hero is five-year-old Vadik Plotnikov from St. Petersburg. He has a rare genetic disease - primary immunodeficiency, chronic granulomatous disease. Vadik’s body is not able to resist infections - any cold is deadly for him. Doctors could not determine the child’s diagnosis for four years. They even treated me for tuberculosis, but nothing helped. The boy developed purulent infectious lesions of the skin and even internal organs, and the lymph nodes periodically became inflamed. When Vadik was finally diagnosed with a terrible diagnosis, his parents urgently began looking for doctors who could save their son. On the Internet, they found information about the Hadassah University Hospital (Jerusalem, Israel) and about Dr. Polina Stepensky, who successfully treats children with severe genetic diseases, and went there. Now the only chance for Vadik is a bone marrow transplant, which is ready to be performed at Hadassah. The cost of treatment is $226,459, which is 15,105,041 rubles. The large Plotnikov family does not have that kind of money.

Together we can save Vadik! Send an SMS with the word WELCOME to the short number 5541.

The cost of one SMS message is 75 rubles.

You can also use our electronic payment system by making a donation using a bank card or electronic cash, including from abroad. And owners of iPhones and Androids can send a donation through the mobile application. You can download it.
