<div>Oskar’s story
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Oskar is only 18 months old and has already been in the hospital for three months. He was admitted due to cardiogenic shock. Genetic tests revealed that he suffers from a rare TNNT2 gene mutation, which leads to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

</div>

</div>
<div>This mutation appeared completely by chance (de novo) – neither his mom nor dad are carriers. Sadly, this time fate has struck our little boy.

<div>His fight so far
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Oskar has already undergone:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2 major life-saving surgeries,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>3 times he had to be put into deep sedation,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>and he was even resuscitated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For many weeks we could not have any contact with him – our little son was under the influence of strong medications that kept him alive, but took away his smile and awareness.
</div>

<div>Current situation
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Oskar’s heart is no longer able to work on its own – its function is supported by a Berlin Heart VAD machine, known as a “bridge to transplant.” His only chance for survival is a heart transplant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, his condition is stable. Under the care of doctors, he is learning everything all over again – playing, trying to eat on his own, speak, and even take his first steps. When we look at him, we see an enormous will to live.

<div>What the funds will cover
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>❤️ hospital and post-surgery treatment
</div>
<div>❤️ rehabilitation
</div>
<div>❤️ medications and specialist care to help Oskar recover
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Oskar is our greatest treasure – a joyful, full-of-life little boy. Despite everything he has been through, he still smiles at us, as if to say: “Mom, Dad, I can do this – just stay with me.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We cannot accept the thought of losing him. That’s why we are begging for help – every donation, every share brings us closer to a new heart and a new life for our son.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please, help us save Oskar’s heart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to the day when our little boy will receive a new heart and the chance for a normal childhood
