Sweet little Imran almost lost his life in the pandemic! Please save him now!

Baby Imran was born prematurely at the peak of the pandemic. But, as it turned out, this ordeal was not the last or the hardest in his defenceless and miserable life. Mum was desperate! She still thinks that her son's problems could have been a result of her illness. She is seeking your help to support her cheerful, kind, and smiling baby boy. It is critical for Imran's future well-being.

Mum has no funds for his treatment. Please help her baby!

Shortly before delivery, Mum had a very high fever. She stayed at home for treatment because the hospitals were overcrowded. Something terrible was going on. They were going to close the maternity hospitals, including the one where she was supposed to give birth to her son.

The doctor referred the woman for a C-section as the pregnancy was full-term. After the delivery, Imranchik was immediately admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit. Because the baby did not scream, and his body was bluish. Later, doctors reported that he was born prematurely. In the 34th week of pregnancy, the boy had a long list of related serious diagnoses. And now he has to undergo constant medical treatment.

The family moved from Samarkand to Kyrgyzstan for good. It was here that the mother couldn’t start full-fledged treatment for Imran. She applied to many places and everywhere and found help and support from people and medical institutions along with their specialists. A series of check-ups led to the verdict: the baby would have to undergo expensive treatment and long-lasting rehabilitation. He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, spastic diplegia, delayed psychomotor and speech development, alternative esotropia, and convergent squint (hyperfunction of the inferior oblique muscle).

Imran has received medical treatment at various hospitals. He was treated at the Third Children's Hospital and underwent rehabilitation at the Ak-Suu sanatorium in the Issyk-Kul region, according to the waiting list, and at the Bespalov clinic, all in Kyrgyzstan. There is a confident hope because significant improvements have been observed in the boy's condition, who was quite young at the time. This effective treatment mustn't be interrupted under any circumstances.

Due to the complexity of Imran's medical condition, he requires specialized treatment from foreign clinics which his family cannot afford. The initial therapy will take place in Bishkek and will cost 60,000 soms. Following that, the baby will undergo surgery in Israel. The doctors have assured them that the surgery will improve the muscle function and nerve points in the brain, which have been severely damaged. The surgery will involve procedures in the brain area and the leg to prevent muscle atrophy, restore blood flow, and repair non-functioning cells.

A mother's biggest fear is that her beloved baby, who has the potential to lead a healthy and happy life, will become permanently incapacitated and unable to live independently and grow. She wishes for her child to not be reliant on medication and nurses for survival. She understands that her son can only have a full life if kind people support him wholeheartedly and help pay for his medical treatment. The mother notices other children playing outside and realises that her son is different and unique. He won't be able to run around, jump, and play like the other kids. Instead, he spends most of his time playing with his toy cars, always smiling warmly at his mother and family. Frequent visits to doctors and painful medical procedures make him panic and afraid of hospitals, causing him to cry. At this point, all the mother wants is for her son to have a future, but it pains her to see him suffer both physically and emotionally.

Doctors have deemed electrostimulation and surgery necessary to aid Imran's severe diagnosis. Despite his condition, Imran is a communicative, kind, and sincere child who loves life, dancing, and music. He enjoys feeling the melodies and moving to the rhythm. However, he needs help to overcome his diagnosis and have a happy childhood that will lead him to a better life. 

Let's help little Imran get the care he needs to move forward into a healthy and fulfilling adulthood.
