Dear people with big hearts,   I'm writing this letter with tears in my eyes and a stabbing pain in my heart as I feel helpless! I also hope and pray, that together, with your support my 3 years old son Victor, will have a brighter future. It’s a long story and believe me, it’s hard to be explained with simple words. However, I will try to make it as clear as possible. In his first year he was a dream baby. He would give us a big smile when we call his name and genuinely filled our lives with so much happiness until the day, we realised that something isn’t right. Since that day it's like he stopped growing. He never started talking or tried to communicate with us.  He is ignoring us when we talk to him, he is not making any eye contact. During the night he won't sleep (maximum 6h), he takes his clothes off and will walk naked or goes in the bathroom to have 4 or 5 showers for the day, runs outside, even naked, bites us... he lives in his own world. In the days when he is screaming and crying uncontrollably, I pray to God to help us, as I don't know if anything is hurting him nor how I can help him. He doesn’t eat, doesn't drink any water, he is mainly on a formula milk. Breadsticks and dried French toasts he will only chew on them but does not eat them always.  He refuses to even try any kinds of food. He would, put in anything that is not food in his mouth, such as toys, crayons, play dough, chalk, sand, candles. Victor refuses to use the toilet. He is still wearing nappies. We can not potty train him as he does not understand what the potty or the toilet mean and what their function is. All his behavioural issues are result of his sensory issues which come from the Autistic spectrum. After he was diagnosed, we were seen by a lot and different specialists. They all confirmed that he has a severe language and development delays.  Our only hope and chance are stem cell therapy. Unfortunately, Victor ‘s case is not simple, and we think he will need about 4-5 therapies once every 6 months. Depends on his condition he might need more than 5. We only hope that he will not need more treatments and he will get improvements sooner! One therapy costs £10 000. This is impossible amount of money for us. Even now most of our income goes for his daily needs, private speech therapist and occupational therapy which are extremely expensive, but we hope that they can help him improve. We applied for a credit, but we were refused one. Stem cell therapy is successfully and is used to treat ASD. All children who already received that kind of treatment have shown a big improvement. It helps to restore the damaged cells and tissue, regulate information in the body and improve overall regulation of the immune system and neural connectivity in the brain. His first stem cell therapy was done in February in Kiev, Ukraine, right before the conflicts. The therapy was successful for him as we can see small improvements every day. His eye contact is increased, sensory is getting lower and he is more interested to spend time with us playing. He likes more attention now as before he did not like to have people around him. We have even more hope that the other treatments will improve his communication even more as we see small progress from one therapy. Unfortunately, because of the situation in Ukraine, we are not able to come back to the EmCell clinic and their amazing team. After a long and detailed research we found the “Dream Body” clinic in Mexico, to continue our next treatments there. This treatment is beyond our financial possibilities and without help we won't be able to pay the amount. I will be forever grateful to anyone who can support us with as little as they can because every little help will be immense. Please bring our hope back and let Victor have an amazing childhood and future. This is my only wish and I'm begging you for help as a mother.  For a child, who can be given a chance to enjoy being a child!
