Little Lydia has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and she needs to be immediately subjected to surgery!

Short Story

Lydia is a 3-year-old girl who has been experiencing a severe health problem, since she has been diagnosed with a glioma, a brain tumor which originates in the glial cells. According to the doctors who monitor her condition, the little girl needs to be subjected, as soon as possible, to a surgical resection of the tumor. Due to the location of the tumor however, which extends to the cervical spinal cord, the surgical resection is considered to be highly dangerous, if performed in a public hospital of the country, since it could cause severe and irreversible brain damage. The child’s parents have already been in contact with a University Hospital of Germany, which has agreed to take on this case, while the surgery date has already been scheduled. The family’s health insurance provider is going to cover the cost of the little girl’s surgery and hospitalization, however her parents are unable to cope with the cost of their transportation and lodging during their stay in Germany.

Campaign Story

Lydia is a 3-year-old girl who has been experiencing a severe health problem, since she has been diagnosed with a glioma, a brain tumor which originates in the glial cells. Up till a few months ago, the little girl was perfectly healthy. It all changed however, in July of 23’, when Lydia began to experience morning sickness. Since the symptoms weren’t subsiding, and since the child was not gaining any weight, her parents visited a Children’s hospital of Athens, in order for her to be subjected to the required tests. The test results however, were a punch in the stomach, since they revealed a sizable tumor to the child’s brain.

According to the doctors who monitor her condition, the little girl needs to be subjected, as soon as possible, to a surgical resection of the tumor. Due to the location of the tumor however, which extends to the cervical spinal cord, the surgical resection is considered to be highly dangerous, if performed in a public hospital of the country, since it could cause severe and irreversible brain damage.

The child’s parents have already been in contact with a University Hospital of Germany, which has agreed to take on this case, while the surgery date has already been scheduled. The family’s health insurance provider is going to cover the cost of the little girl’s surgery and hospitalization, however her parents are unable to cope with the cost of their transportation and lodging during their stay in Germany. The family has reached a dead end and they are asking for our help. ACT OF KINDNESS came in contact with the doctors who monitor the child’s condition and after a thorough inquiry of our interdisciplinary staff, we organized this aid campaign in order to support this family who is spending agonizing hours.

Little Lydia needs to be immediately subjected to the surgical resection of the tumor. We are running out of time. Together, we have the power to offer her this life-saving journey. Any contribution can make a great difference!
