Our little Adam

Our Little Adam
We always want to tell you how our children are doing, whom you help. This sensitive and hopeful story of the trip is shared by Adomelis's mom Gabija.
She sincerely thanks everyone who helps their family to take this difficult path with their kindness, support and encouragement.
Adomelis's mom writes:
Our third trip to Switzerland
There are trips that are measured not in kilometers, but in heartbeats.
When little hands grab tightly…
When eyes shine even between the hospital walls…
When a sister's laughter merges with a brother's smile, and the moment becomes so precious that you want to stop it.
This time Switzerland greeted us with warmth – not only the air, but also the people.
The trip went smoothly, and it is gradually becoming easier to travel with Adomelis. My sister was there the whole time – playing, entertaining, and making us happy. Children's laughter fills us with such peace... it's so good to see them together.
About the treatment:
In the right eye - hopeful news: two small tumors have significantly decreased.
Laser was applied.
In the left eye - no changes, but instead of intra-arterial chemotherapy, a new plan was applied: injection directly into the eye. We believe that this will bring good results.
A fun moment:
We are very grateful to the accommodation facility "Intervalle", which not only welcomed us, but also delighted us with free tickets to the aquarium.
For the children (and us!) it was a real refreshment - from the smallest to the giant fish, so much color and beauty that the heart forgot all its worries for a while.
Thank you all - for your support, donations, kind words.
Your kindness turns into our strength.
Thank you for walking this path with us.

Our little Adomelis
By Mamu unija PLF | Project Leader
Our sweet boy Adam
“You have drawn an unlucky ticket,” Gabija, the mother of just 1.5-year-old Adomelis, heard from the doctors. After detailed examinations in Kaunas clinics, the boy was confirmed to have an extremely rare diagnosis - retinoblastoma (eye cancer).
Unfortunately, this disease is not treatable in Lithuania, so the boy’s mother, with tears in her eyes, appeals to all people of good will to give her son hope for treatment at an eye clinic in Switzerland. Although the treatment itself is reimbursed, the cost of flights, accommodation and other essential expenses reaches at least 30,000 euros per year, and the treatment often takes at least five years. Adomelis’s first visit is scheduled for June 5.
"Both of Adam's eyes are damaged: two smaller tumors - 2 and 3 millimeters - were found in the right eye, and the situation in the left eye is much worse - a 10-millimeter tumor with fluid accumulation and a detached retina was found. Adam cannot see at all in that eye. How can you accept this? How can you live knowing that your little one does not see the world in all its colors? He has not even had time to understand what life looks like yet, and he already has to fight for it...", laments the boy's mother.

Baby Silvija

Baby Silvija
We met Silvija and her mother, grandmother and sister at our Christmas party at the Family Home. When Silvija got eye cancer, she was only a month and a half old and was lying in her parents' arms, and now, more than a year later, she was running around our hall on her own legs
We talked to her mother and were happy that Silvija's treatment was going well, the trips, although tiring, also bring a lot of joy to the little one. The family returned from the 14th visit.
"In mid-December, early Sunday morning, we set off for a treatment visit to Switzerland. The morning started at 3 o'clock, we reached Lausanne at 12 o'clock and we had to be at the clinic early the next morning. As always, we were greeted by the staff in a great mood, after instilling pupil-dilating eye drops, Silvija and I went to the operating room for an examination.
After the examination, we met with the doctor, the news was good, no treatment procedures were needed. During the previous visit, an MRI scan was performed. The next visit is in four weeks, and so we will enter the New Year with great faith and hope," smiles Silvija's mother Ieva.
We invite you to contribute to Silvija's further treatment
