  Nataniel is a 4 year old boy, born prematurely in the 29th week of the twin pregnancy. When he was only few weeks old, he had a multiple cerebral haemorrhage, which resulted in a series of medical conditions: stroke, sepsis, various neuroinfections, meningitis, pneumonia, intestinal blockage and blood vomiting.
  The boy spent over 6 months in hospital – far away from his family. He underwent many operations and the doctors did not give him great hopes to leave the hospital. Now every day is a fight for his life and health.
  Due to the fact the stroke was so severe, Nataniel is now suffering from the optic nerve atrophy and hydrocephaly.
  He is a blind boy, unable to move or sit without any assistance.
  Nataniel also suffers from cerebral palsy - a heavy limp band, and refractory epilepsy (West Syndrome), with severe complications after implementing the ventriculo-peritoneal drainage.
  This little boy has also developed nutritional problems preventing him from being able to consume solid foods. His mum bottle feeds him as Natan is unable to chew, bite and swallow anything which is not in a liquid form.
  In March 2013 he had his first operation for his twisted hip.
  The boy’s condition is a huge challenge for the whole family: parents, twin brother Max, who suffers from autism, and a 10 year old sister, who has asthma. This is an emotional and financial roller-coaster.
  The cost of a monthly treatment is enormous and can reach almost £500, which without the kindness and generosity of the people of good will, would be completely unreachable and unrealistic. Because Natan’s immune system is very weak, it has been strongly recommended to him to attend a special campus (turnusy rehabilitacyje). A yearly cost of such a treatment is nearly £4000.
  There is a chance for this brave boy – a very painful and complex treatment.
  Unfortunately, taking care of Nataniel, his twin brother and older sister, his parents struggle to make ends meet and afford such expensive medical treatments. Since all three children require round the clock supervision and attention, Nataniel’s mother stays at home and ensures they are looked after properly. This leaves Nataniel’s father in a very difficult and challenging position of being the sole bread-winner of the family which, sadly, covers only a small fraction of the total cost required to provide the medical assistance that Nataniel needs.
