<div>Timo was born in November 2024, a beautiful, tiny angel.
</div>
<div>But just two months later, our lives were turned upside down when he began having epileptic seizures. After many examinations and genetic tests, Timo was diagnosed with <strong>WOREE syndrome (WWOX-related encephalopathy)</strong> — a very rare and severe genetic condition affecting only about <strong>100 people worldwide</strong>.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What this means for Timo?</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Timo suffers from epileptic seizures and infantile spasms. With a combination of <strong>Vigabatrin, different Vitamin B supplements and a Ketogenic diet</strong>, his epilepsy is currently under control.
</li>
<li>WOREE causes profound global delay and severe cognitive impairment, which is showing more and more in Timo. As of today, at 8 months old, Timo <strong>barely moves</strong>, has <strong>very little neck and head control</strong>, and <strong>aside from occasional crying, is completely non-vocal</strong> — and he will likely remain so.
</li>
<li>The average life expectancy for children with WOREE is<strong> just 3 to 4 years.</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>There is Hope: A Customized Gene Therapy Could Save Him</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>The estimation for the development and application of the treatment costs <strong>€300'000</strong>.
</li>
<li><strong>Time is critical</strong> — The sooner the treatment begins, the better Timo's chances. We simply don't know how much time Timo has left.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help:</strong>
</div>
<div>We need urgent funding to:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Develop and administer Timo's custom gene therapy
</li>
<li>Give him the only known chance at a better life
</li>
<li>Help us fight against this devastating disease
</li>
</ul>
<div>Every <strong>donation</strong>, every <strong>share</strong>, every act of support and kindness brings us closer to giving Timo a future.
</div>
<div>Even if you can’t donate, simply <strong>sharing this page</strong> could help us reach someone who can.
