Great start of the volunteer summer season 2016 was put by our friends from Burren Chernobyl Project in Gorodische children's orphanage. Now kids from units 3,4 have their own verandas. Huge thanks to all who have contributed not only the funds, but the warmth of their hearts. 

And already this evening we're welcoming a new group from Ireland and are looking forward to some new interesting and touching moments!

Dear all!

I’m Diana, and I’m asking you to support my special child Eugene

Lagutko Eugene (5 years), Baranovichi

The diagnosis: cerebral palsy, double hemiplegia, spastic tetraparesis, learning disability

Born at the 30th week of pregnancy. For two weeks he was on artificial lung ventilation and ate through the tube. Having started breathing independently, Eugene was transferred to Children's Hospital, where he subsequently became worse – started having frequent apnea episodes. The child’s deteriorated sharply.

Now Eugene is five years old. And for all five years we’ve been on constant treatment sessions, also taking expensive medications. We‘ve been on many rehab courses in "Mother and Child", centre "Turpentine", "Tonus" centre. Also were treated in the clinic Kozijavkin (Truskavets), in Lithuanian sanatorium "Belarus" and had two courses of rehabilitation in China (Funds “Planet of Good” and “Opeka”helped raise funds).

Eugene fights for his health, he is a very strong, patient and grateful child. He has a good progress: started crawling, recently has started tolerating sitting for a short while (of course with support, but we are very happy). He has even started talking (saying mom, dad, baba, ded, go, aw-aw, yes, no). But now our main problem is Eugene’s hands, they are very tight. And without the help of the hands it is not possible to learn to crawl, sit, stand and then to walk. Hands play an important role in this process. After all, in life, every minute we make something with our hands, the whole future life requires precisely coordinated movements of hands and fingers such as dressing, eating, and performing a wide variety of everyday activities. Even sitting in a wheelchair a person can be socially adapted, if he can manage moving with their own hands. At the moment, all my focus is on rehabilitation in this direction! I'm doing everything possible to organize a proper treatment! But, unfortunately, I cannot pay for the treatment he needs. I'm officially caring for a disabled child, which I’m getting paid for, but the money is not enough of course. And I also have another child and no partner to share my responsibilities. The main part of the income is spent on treatment of Eugene. Currently he needed money for surgery to help to reduce tension in the muscles and relax them, and it costs 25,000 Russian rubles. And in September, we are expected to go to the rehab center  for children with cerebral palsy (in Beijing), for the course of 2 months at the cost of $ 8500 (with the flight). For us it is a chance to teach Eugene to sit independently, and to start looking after himself. I kindly ask all caring people to participate in the fate of my child and help him have a better quality of life!

With respect and hope for help Lagutko Diana!

Hello, we are writing to you with a huge request for help! The beginning of our history can be found here 

"Our Yanais 6 years old. Very slowly, but still she is developing thanks to daily work. But I would compare Yana’s development with the children’s mobile that parents hang over the babies’ cribs when it’s winded up, it goes round and sings, but gradually it runs out, and the music is getting slower and slower until it is stopped. Same story with Yana: good rehabilitation gives her a proper push to the development and our work with her. She learns well that it allows us to go on with our domestic classes that also give a greater feedback, but gradually, like a carousel, the "charge" comes to an end, and further work does not bring an adequate response. Therefore, she needs to go on the rehabilitation courses to give the child another push and the ability to further development and for us parents a way to communicate with specialists that suggest where we have to improve our work with the child. Thanks to all caring people we have been on rehabilitation with Jana in Russia and China. China has given us very good results: Yana started crawling on all fours, to say "yes" or "no" when asked, now our her communication is based on leading questions about what she would like or check educational methods that can be answered "yes" or "no." Yana began to ask going on a potty, mostly showing gestures, which is also very important for us. Now Yana can walk a little, holding to a stick, or with support at her pelvis. Now we would really like to have that rehab course done in the Polish intensive rehabilitation center "Olinek," where many Belarusian kids had good results in the development. Mainly due to the treatment by the method of Professor Tomatis many nonspeaking children begin to talk. Jana really wants to learn to speak, as the communication with  "yes" and "no" level is not enough for her now, she gets very upset when trying to say something to us, but we do not understand. Regular sessions with a speech therapist has not given such an opportunity, she needs a push from the inside. The condition for treatment by the method of professor Tomatis is a block of at least 4 courses with an interval between the first and second course of no more than 4-6 weeks, so we ask all concerned people to support us and to get to the treatment center for intensive rehabilitation "Olinek." So that it becomes the push to wind up her little mobile and get her started on the proper speech.

The estimated cost of the treatment of 8,500 euros.

Million thanks to everyone in advance!!!"

Varvara not for a second allowed the thought of failure to cope with the disease and she always believed she’d be the winner in the unequal battle with the severe disease. This little girl immediately realized that only unconditional faith in herself would help to conquer cancer cells.

Now Varya is an ordinary child who really wants to believe in her bright future.

Varvara Stasheuskaya 9 years, Minsk

Diagnosis: right adrenal neuroblastoma combined with damage of paraorthal lymphnodes and lymphnodes of vascular pedicle of the left kidney T3N1M0, Stage 3, after the comprehensive treatment - remission. Varya was diagnosed with it in November 2010, in cancer centre in Borovliany, Minsk district.

Initial treatment was carried out in Borovliany clinic - 6 chemotherapy blocks. Since there wasn’t a possibility to perform a surgery in Belarus, we went to an Israeli hospital Schneider, where the tumor was removed by 98%.  After Israel she underwent 4 more chemotherapy, beaming and 8 months of dry chemo (Roaccutane). There was a long-awaited remission in 2012!

 The children with this diagnosis should have preventive assessments every six months for 5 years.  Thus we need to go back to Israel to fully examine and check Varya’s condition!!!

Neuroblastoma is the most poorly studied and insidious form of pediatric oncology. Very few survive. Our girl is the lucky one! But cancer is dangerous and may recur. We are all fighting for Varya’s life, this is our mutual victory! Now is very crucial moment - a 5-year remission threshold and half way to healing is passed.

His example proves: Cancer is curable.

For the assessment we need to fundraise 16 120$ before 01.07.2016

Please, help us to make sure that the disease does not go back!!!

Many sencere thanks to everyone!!!

        ‘Fragments from the nuclear explosion fallout at Chernobyl station which blew into the sky on 26^th April 1986 landed on us. At first we heard only of rain clouds bringing devastation, of animals contaminated by radiation. We were told – ‘don’t go there, not if you are young, or pregnant, or ever want to be pregnant; not unless you want to come back with two heads, several cancers and the likelihood of more. Don’t go there!

But we went anyway.’ (From ‘Fallout’).

         In the quiet and dark of the night – of this night – thirty years ago as we all slept quietly, the world changed. For some it was just a news story the next morning on their news channel.

         For others, it was in their lives, in their bodies, in the very air. And no one told anyone! Nobody really knew how much damage was being done. The beast released into the night air could not be recalled, could not be brought back. The genie was out of the bottle – with an evil that spread quietly and gently and deeply into the lives, into the minds and bodies of people – of children – we have come to know and love.

        Thirty years on and we are still involved, still making that journey to Belarus. We go there not because of nuclear power or contamination. We go to meet those who are now our friends, our pals – and we go because we enjoy going there, we love going there.

Let us hope that tonight is a quiet night in the world;

that whatever evil that is about to be coughed up on top of our beautiful world will somehow be contained this night and not released.

Let us hope that something beautiful may be released into the night air this night,

Something to make the world a better place,

To make us all a little better.

         Let us hope for something. Something small. Something beautiful. Something that will grow and creep like a rambling rose over the wall into our neighbours minds and hearts and souls around our beautiful world.

Let us hope this night for something beautiful.

Let each of us be that something small.

Something small and beautiful which will spread out from this night, in the quiet,

In the darkness,

Without anyone being told.

Another heartbreaking story and another request for help. Little girl Darina really badly needs your attention and support.

" Hello!

My name is Anastasia Kolonitskaya, I am the mother of a special child Darina.

Daryna was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. She is 2 years now, but she can not hold her head, sit or talk and eats through a tube. But despite all the difficulties, we do not lose heart and fight for a better quality life for our girl every day.

In 2015, we fundraised money for a trip to The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential (Italy). With the help of caring people we were able to take the baby for a visit and get a competent examination.

The specialists of The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential Darin examined Darina, noted a positive change (Daryna’s hearing and vision improved) and developed a rehabilitation program for the next six months. We have a program of various methods including usage of respiratory masks, learning to communicate with Darina on the board of choice, hearing program, vision and tactile stimulation, three types of patterning and we also increased the number of sliding down on sloping floor. And as the child progresses the constant adjustment of the program is needed often, so  we have another appointment for July 4, 2016.

Visit price: 5250 $ and 3155 € +  travel costs.

We’ve also fundraised money for a trip to Moscow for the introduction of umbilical cord blood cells in KrioTsentre. It took us a long time to study this procedure, we considered the opinions of parents, who had already tried this method, communicated with experts and we realized that this is our chance! This is the chance for our daughter to see the outside world, the chance of a significant reduction in spasticity and hyperkinesias and to improve physical activity. We hope that this will become a new impuls to Darina’s development .

The cost of one implant is 77,000 Russian rubles. We need to make 6 implants: first 2 with an interval of 2 weeks, then every 3 months. Thanks to the funds collected, we have already made 2 implanting procedures, the next one is expected in July.

Miracle happens, where he was waiting for! We are looking forward to, hope and trust and ask for help from all of those who care!

You can follow the news on Darina’s improvement in  VKontakte social network http://vk.com/club91244744

The required amount is 6150 € + 11 200 $. We have already fundraised 1050 €, 5672 $.

Still need: 5100 €, 5528 $

Dear friends, 

Please, read the story of little Matvei. He is a brave fighter for his life, so let's support him:

I am a mother of three children, one of them is Matvei - a child with disabilities, he has a diffuse lesion of the midbrain, congenital heart defect (trisomy of chromosome 21), and other conditions.

In July 2014, I visited the American courses, held in Moscow on "What to do if your child has brain damage." In September we were in Philadelphia, thanks to family and friends (they bought the tickets) and all the people who donated money. Taking into consideration his diagnoses we put together a program for six months. In March 2015, we paid a second visit there. This program changes as the child achieves the certain development objectives. The cost of travel 10 000 Dollars, taking into consideration the payment of the lectures course for parents and teaching methods of the rehab, tickets, visas and accommodation.

A trip to the rehabilitation institutions Glenn Doman in Philadelphia - is not a whim, it's a chance for Matvei to restore the lost brain function. The program, in which we are engaged on a daily basis is very difficult, not every parent is ready to accept the way of life for the sake of their child, in spite of the good result. It is very difficult, but the result is fantastic.

How it happens is a mystery of nature. Our child is becoming smarter day by day, he makes us happy with his success, and this gives us the strength and confidence that everything will be fine. It is necessary to continue and not give up.

We consistently treat the main cause of Matvei’s problem - the diffuse lesion of the midbrain. Every day we undergo physical, intellectual, manual, physiological and respiratory program. The entire program is created for Matthew by experts and it became the way of life for us!

He still doesn’t speak, sensory is damaged as well as the motor skills. The possible reason why he doesn’t speak is lack of oxygen supply to the brain, as well as problems with the hearing. Only specialists of the Institute can help Matthew to achieve a good level of development, they have designed a unique technique that really helps the children with such diagnoses to develop normally. No organization here is willing to deal with such Matvei’s  problems in complex, but we of course still desire to help him as soon as possible. We see the results! Matveyushka can look after himself, he understands and tries to be helpful in the family and is actively involved in domestic affairs, he has viewed by over 3000 encyclopedic facts, read more than 400 books and passed all arithmetic tasks as the part of the intellectual program. He also started improving physically. The everyday programme consists of physical and intellectual tasks. Respiratory program consists of respiratory patterns. All this is to oxygenate the brain and to show it how to breathe correctly. We just carry a tactile and auditory stimulation. All programs are designed for the damaged areas of the brain. Brain is a muscle, which is growing in its active use.

We ask you to support us in this long marathon to raise funds needed to continue treatment that was begun! We need not only material, but also information support! Do not leave us, please!!!

Friends,

As you can see, there are many requests coming to us from so many families, but we are kindly asking you to take part in the fate of these wonderful little children. Your every help will become a step on the way to recovery. Here is the story of a little Nikita that requires rehabilitation. It is not expensive, but it can significantly improve the child’s health:

"Hello, my name is Oksana, I have a son - Nikita.

Nikita is 3 years old, his main diagnoses are cerebral palsy, spastic hemiplegia, post-hemorrhagic occlusive hydrocephalus (a condition after ventriculoperitoneal shunting).

 Nikita is able to talk now. But his musculoskeletal system is impaired (tight right hand, low physical activity, the left hand is active – he can take things, attempts to eat independently). While walking with support on two hands he intends to tip-toe and then step on the whole foot but with legs crossed. He can not sit for long without support, and he cannot sit down independently.

Nikita was born prematurely (30 weeks), on the 4^th day he had a brain bleeding, which caused hydrocephalus. He had a surgery  at 1.6 months. For a long time Nikita was on artificial lung ventilation (about a month). He was discharged home at 2 months with psychomotor retardation, and then every 2 months we went for the rehabilitation to the Republican Scientific and Practical Center * Mother and Child * (4 times),  Since he was 1 year we are undergoing  on the rehabilitation courses in Minsk city center of medical rehabilitation for children with intellectual disabilities (were there 9 times), we go to the rehab centre Zhivitsa (Gomel regional Hospital), and do regular courses of massage and  physio in the community clinic, also we regularly go to the pool.

As the time goes by, the dynamics is positive, but it is very slow. We decided to take Nikita in the specialized sanatorium for children with cerebral palsy in the Czech Republic for the first course of rehabilitation treatment, which costs 4470 euros. It is not possible for us to save such an amount in 3 months, so we are asking you for your support!

Dear friends,

We are asking you to help this wonderful boy:

Little Timur Zulfalievu was born a perfect child. And neither his mom nor specialists noticed anything special about him in the maternity house. But later on his mom Veronika started noticing that Tsimur doesn’t breath regular. First their doctor said it was just a flue. But then after some more check-ups he was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy Verdnig-Hoffmann type 1. The family tired various clinics to help his condition, but the child was only getting worse. Now he needs a ventilator to help him breathe.

The family has managed to collect 6333.75 euros of the required amount of 10460 euros. But they still need 4 126.25! For those who could understand a bit of Russian here is their social network page, where one can see the updates!

Hello dear friends!

My name is Tamara Kostyuk and I’m writing to ask you for help. I have a daughter Yana, she is 12 years old. She has cerebral palsy (CP). Right sided hemiparesis. Arachnoid cyst of the left temporal lobe, the pineal gland cyst, and some vision impairment. In October 2015 Yana had an ankle surgery. It went well, and now she needs to start rehabilitation. There is a great chance to stop atrophy of muscles of Yana’s right arm and leg. In January, Yana had a very good rehab course in a rehabilitation center Adele in Slovakia. We got help from JuniHelp Fund to pay rehabilitation. Now she needs to go for another course which costs of more than 9,000 euro, taking into account travel and accommodation expenses. Rehabilitation course lasts 24 days. But unfortunately we can’t cover the whole cost ourselves as this amount is too large for our family. Yana is the sixth child in the family - she is the youngest. We have been treating her all her life. Older children have their own families. I beg you to help my daughter improve her health and learn everything healthy children do. Yana understands everything, goes to school, but is engaged in the special program. It is difficult for her to speak properly. But with every day the speech improves and it’s easier for Yana to communicate in the classroom. She loves to be at school. There are very good teachers, and Yana always feels support of the seniors and her friends. I do not ask for immediate help. I hope there will be good people that will help us.

Nota bene: some humor and not only.

"What was it Shakespeare wrote?

When icicles hang by the wall

and Dick the shepherd blows his nail

And Tom bears logs into the hall

and milk comes frozen home in pail….?

Then what happens is that trucks arrive to Dom Zara Minsk (Dobra tut office) for the collection of Humanitarian Aid sent from Ireland again by Burren Chernobyl Project.

This year we are happy to have been able to help those from Pinsk, the children’s orphanage in Gorodishche, the old folks in Starye Dorogee, as well as many others.

Winter laid snow heavily about us these few days

-          birds sit brooding in the snow and (Natasha’s) nose is red and raw –

and yet they turned up in their small and their large trucks, through the snows, through the freezing temperatures, to collect the much needed aid. It hit minus eighteen at some stage during the distribution and yet everything got sorted, doled out and delivered where needed.  

Shakespeare  was correct – ‘when blood be nipped and ways be foul’ - then is the time when the stalwarts of Belarus face out onto the cold and carry on  with the work, loading and collecting, shipping and counting and bringing the aid back home where it is most needed.

(With apologies to Mrs Shakespeare’s son, William!)

Well done to all!"
