My name is Svetlana… and I am Alex’s mother. I was told my baby would not survive. Alex was born with SMA type 1… a disease that slowly takes away a child’s ability to move, to breathe… to live. His life didn’t begin with toys or laughter… but with machines and silence. For 5 and a half months, my baby was intubated… fighting for every breath. Doctors gave up on him. But Alex didn’t give up. Today, he is here. He smiles. He looks at me. He tries. But his fight is far from over. He still cannot breathe completely on his own. At night, he depends on a machine to stay alive. He cannot cough… and even a simple cold can become life-threatening. Every single day, Alex has to fight: just to keep what he has already gained. Therapy is not optional for him… it is the difference between progress and loss. Without daily therapy, he can lose everything. I am his mother… and I am trying to do everything I can. But I cannot do this alone. Please… if you are reading this: Donate even a small amount for Alex Or share this message For you, it may be a few euros… for him, it is a chance to keep fighting.
