The family of 8-year-old Dima, a boy from Ukraine with severe epilepsy, is asking for help to pay for an examination and a possible third operation in Spain, his mother says. Dima is due at the clinic on 23 November, but the family is still €36,000 short for his treatment.
Elizaveta Poslovska and her mother took Dima out of Kherson at the start of the war in Ukraine to save him. They have lived in Balchik for 4 years.
The mother says Bulgaria has helped them a great deal and the family is grateful. They came because the boy needs constant treatment, and there is a war in their homeland. She thanked everyone who has supported them so far and those who will help now.
Dima has had brain surgery twice at a clinic in Barcelona. He improved after each operation, but the seizures came back. His medicines no longer work.
His condition is now very serious, his mother says. The seizures come by day and by night, from mild to very severe, and the family lives in constant fear.
His doctor in Spain must examine him again. The mother says the examination will show where the seizures come from and whether another operation is possible. If it is, doctors will operate right away.
The full examination and the possible operation cost €66,000 in total. The family cannot afford this, but it needs the whole sum to cover all the costs.
