Campaign Story
Aggeliki-Nektaria is a 10-year-old girl who has been struggling since the age of 8 months old, as she has been diagnosed with a mutation of the PTEN gene, which manifests itself with the presence of lipomas and arterio-venous malformations. So far, the young girl has been subjected thrice to a surgical resection of the lipomas, while she also had to undergo an endovascular embolization, since she has been presenting with an extensive arterio-venous malformation to the shoulder area.
Due to the rarity of this case, the procedure had to be performed in a private clinic of Athens, by a specialized team of interventional radiologists. Aggeliki-Nektaria’s family had found themselves in a dead end, since they were unable to cope with the cost of the procedure. Without wasting any time, ACT OF KINDNESS organized an aid campaign and thanks to your immediate response, we managed to gather, in a short period of time, the amount required for the young girl’s procedure.
According, however, to the interventional radiologists who took on her case, the girl had to be subjected to a second embolism, which was in fact performed a few days ago. The young girl is currently recovering at her home, while in the foreseeable future, she will have to undergo a surgical resection of the dysplasia.
The young girl’s family has found themselves in a dead end once more, since they don’t have the means to cover the cost of the second embolism, as well as the cost of the upcoming surgery. After taking into consideration the new circumstances and the needs that have arisen for this family, we are organizing one more aid campaign, in order to support this young girl who has been struggling ever since she was just a toddler.
Aggeliki-Nektaria is a true fighter that keeps on smiling no matter the difficulties she is experiencing. We have the power to help her. To free her from this painful dysplasia, which has been tormenting her over all these months. Together, we can make it happen!

10-year-old Aggeliki- Aggeliki- Nektaria is suffering from a rare syndrome and she needs to be immediately subjected to sclerotherapy and surgery!
<p>Aggeliki- Nektaria is a ten-year-old girl who has been facing a lot of challenges, since she has been diagnosed with a rare genetic mutation. It all started when the little girl was just 8 months old, when she started to develop lipomas to the right axilla, which were surgically removed. 3 months later however, she developed lipomas to the exact same spot. That’s when the family’s paediatrician referred them to an oncology hospital for further tests. When the parents received the results of the whole body MRI screening, they couldn’t believe their eyes. The child was filled with lipomas to the colon and the thoracic cavity. As a result, she was immediately subjected to surgery. A few months later, the parents received the results from the genetic testing. Turns out, the child is suffering from a mutation of the PTEN gene, a condition that manifests itself with the presence of lipomas and colon polyps, causing high risk for cancer.<br />
Her latest whole body MRI screening, revealed lipomas to the colon, the genitals and the trachea, which are greatly affecting her respiratory functions. At the same time, she has also developed fibromuscular dysplasia at her shoulder, which is gradually increasing in size, causing pain to the area.<br />
According to the oncologists who monitor Aggeliki- Nektaria’s condition, the little girl needs to be immediately subjected to a series of sclerotherapy sessions, in order to eliminate the fibromuscular dysplasia. At the same time, she must also be subjected to surgical resection of the lipomas, which are obstructing the proper function of her vital organs.<br />
Due to the rarity of this case, the surgery and treatments will be performed in a private clinic of Athens. Unfortunately, Aggeliki- Nektaria’s parents are unable to cope with the cost of the surgery and the sclerotherapy sessions, since after all these years, they have reached a financial dead end.<br />
Little Aggeliki- Nektaria is a real fighter, who has been struggling ever since she was an infant, while being subjected to numerous surgeries and treatments. Today however, her condition has deteriorated to the point where she is unable to breathe, while she is also experiencing a lot of pain. Let us all make sure that she has the chance to be subjected to the surgery and treatments that will alleviate her suffering! Together, we can make it happen!</p><div id='jp-relatedposts' class='jp-relatedposts' >
