Mansur depends on medical devices, so he spends his childhood mostly at home, near them. Doctors installed a special tube in his abdomen, and through it he receives special food - calories and nutrients that his body does not get with regular meals - on an hourly basis. He loves the porridge and soup and cutlets his mother made for him, but no matter how much he eats at the table, his body doesn't get enough. And overeating leads to stomach pain and intestinal problems. You have to connect to the machine over and over again and "finish it off. The baby has a congenital enteropathy - a lack of enzymes responsible for absorbing and digesting food. But doctors do not know the reason why this happens to Mansur, so they treat him randomly, and this treatment does not help him.
However, this is not the doctors' fault, but the costliness of the tests that need to be performed on a child to confirm or rule out the genetic nature of his disease: the treatment tactic depends entirely on the result. The study, full-exome sequencing, is not free, and the family has no money for it. The parents have four children, the mother does not work, because someone has to look after the youngest special Mansur. If they had the money, the test would have been done a long time ago.
If Mansur starts getting the right treatment, he will have a chance to win and get rid of the pesky tube in his stomach in the future. And eat his mother's porridge, and soup, and cutlets. And maybe even candy, which he has never tasted before. He'll have a chance at a full life. But for that now the boy needs your help!
