Little Elshod had surgeries on his eyes!

Elshod was born 12 weeks prematurely weighing only 1490 grams. I spent two weeks in intensive care. Fortunately, now such children have a high chance of a full life. They just need a little help.

The weak point in premature babies is their eyesight. At five months, Elshod was diagnosed with retinopathy of prematurity. This disease develops rapidly and can lead to complete blindness. At the time of detection, Elshod's disease had reached the fifth, final stage in both eyes.

In Elshod's homeland in Uzbekistan, retinopathy is not being treated yet, but the boy can be helped in Russia! Ophthalmologists in St. Petersburg operate on children with the last stage of retinopathy with very good results. Therefore, local doctors immediately sent Elshod there. But all treatment for CIS citizens in Russia is paid, and Elshod's parents cannot afford such an amount - after all, the operation will be performed on both eyes.

That's why they turn to us for help. Let's join forces to restore the sight of little Elshod! Let him laugh with happiness in response to Mom's smile.
