Short Story

The problems for 11-year-old Marina made their appearance a few years ago, when the child was diagnosed with a kidney infection, while the tests she was subjected to a year ago revealed high levels of protein and leukocytes, which indicate a chronic kidney disease. At this point, the little girl is regularly visiting the Children’s hospital of Athens, where she is monitored by specialized nephrologists. Since her immediate family has a history of hearing loss and kidney disease, and since Marina is also presenting with hearing issues, the doctors recommend that she is immediately subjected to a genetic testing, which will lead to an accurate diagnosis, and which will allow them to proceed with the proper treatment plan.



Little Marina has to be immediately subjected to a genetic testing and she needs our help!

Campaign Story

The problems for 11-year-old Marina made their appearance a few years ago, when the child was diagnosed with a kidney infection. After the little girl followed the prescribed diet and medication regimen, her tests were clear. About one year ago, however, her tests revealed high levels of protein and leukocytes, something that indicates a chronic kidney disease. 

At this point, the little girl is regularly visiting the Children’s hospital of Athens, where she is monitored by specialized nephrologists. Since her immediate family has a history of hearing loss and kidney disease, and since Marina is also presenting with hearing issues, the doctors recommend that she is immediately subjected to a genetic testing, which will lead to an accurate diagnosis, and which will allow them to proceed with the proper treatment plan. 

Little Marina’s father, who has been raising her on his own over the past few years, has come to a dead end, since he is unable to cope with the cost of the genetic test and the medication his child requires. Not knowing where else to turn, the father reached out to ACT OF KINDNESS. As soon as the Organization’s interdisciplinary staff read Marina’s case file, we immediately launched this aid campaign, which will allow the little fighter to undergo the required test, without wasting any precious time!

Little Marina has been struggling for many years now and the only thing she is asking for, is to be finally free of this health issue that has turned her life upside down. We’ll stand by her side! We will do everything in our power, in order to improve her quality of life! We all join forces for Marina!

    New needs have arisen for our beloved Marina! We proceed with our joint effort!

    <p>Little Marina had to be urgently admitted to the hospital, since she was presenting with arrhythmia and tachycardia, which were attributed to gastroenteritis which led to viral myocarditis! A few days ago, our little friend was discharged from the hospital and returned home, while she will soon visit a diagnostic center, in order to be subjected to a chest MRI.<br />
    This latest health ordeal has brought major changes to hers and her family’s life. The little girl will have to be closely monitored by a cardiologist, while according to the doctors who treated her, she will need to be subjected to follow-up MRI tests every six months. At the same time, she will have to receive the prescribed medication, to follow a specific diet regimen and to avoid strenuous activities.<br />
    As we can all understand, new needs have arisen for this family, who has once more reached a dead end. After taking into consideration the additional needs that have surfaced, ACT OF KINDNESS is readjusting the aid campaign’s funding goal, since aside form the genetic test to which our little friend needs to be urgently subjected, the family will need our support in order to cope with the cost of their 11-year-old daughter’s health-related expenses.<br />
    We keep on fighting for Marina! We will do everything in our power, in order to help out a child who is struggling due to such severe health issues!</p>
