Rafael has several complex diagnoses and requires specialized nutrition

A year ago, the Tuber community helped Rafael: thanks to you, we were able to purchase a supply of special nutritional formula for him. Now Rafael and his family need our help again. Rafael has several complex diagnoses; his stomach isn't working properly, and he can't eat on his own. "Doctors, both in Bashkortostan and at federal medical centers, have tried many options to help Rafael's stomach, but nothing works, and the only option for my son is intravenous feeding," says his mother, Olesya. For a year now, the boy has been receiving nutrition through catheters. He's gained good weight, his muscles have become stronger, and his sleep has improved. "My son has become more active, he's in a good mood, and he hasn't been sick once in the year he's been on intravenous nutrition. And most importantly, he's now full," says Olesya. Unfortunately, intravenous nutrition is not provided to Rafael for free, and its cost is high, making it impossible for the family to purchase everything they need on their own. You've already helped Raphael once. Let's help him again.
