Campaign Story

Emmanouela is 5-year-old girl who has been suffering ever since she came into this world, since she was diagnosed with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, a rare genetic disorder, which dramatically affects the kidneys’ function. As soon as she was born, she was transferred to the NICU, where she spent the first months of her life.

During all these years, the little girl is being daily subjected to peritoneal dialysis, while she has been hospitalized numerous times due to acute peritonitis. Her condition has now gotten worse, since she is now diagnosed with end-stage renal failure. Currently, the little girl is being subjected to haemodialysis, while according to the pediatric nephrologists who monitor her health progress, her condition is considered critical, while she will need to be subjected to a kidney transplant in the foreseeable future.

Emmanuela’s parents have never left her side. Her mother had to quit the job in order to take care of her little girl, who is now subjected to dialysis three times a week. However, after all these years, the family has now come to a dead end and they are unable to cope with the cost of their 3 children’s living expenses, as well as the cost of Emmanuela’s ever-increasing, health-related expenses.

Little Emmanouela is going through tough times, since she is feeling worn out by the constant haemodialysis sessions. Let us all support this true fighter’s struggle! Together, we can make it happen!
