Adam M. and his family
Adam was born in August 2015 in Tiszaújlak, Transcarpathia. In the first three years of his life he developed nicely, without any problems, everything was according to his age.
But in 2019, just before her fourth birthday, she had unexpected difficulties: after a mild cold, her parents noticed that she was having trouble with her stairs. Genetic tests revealed a shocking result - Adam was found to suffer from a rare, serious genetic disorder, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which was thought to be incurable at the time.
B. Joel and his family
Bari Anton Joel was born on 22 July 2017 in Eger, Hungary. Soon after his birth, it became clear that he was a special boy: he had Down's syndrome. The first period was accompanied by many medical examinations, development and therapies, which were carried out at the Early Development Centre of the Down Outpatient Clinic in Budapest. Although the early days were filled with anxiety, his family stood by him with tremendous love and devotion throughout.
I. Lia and her family
It all started in May 2024. One morning, a small, hard lump appeared on Lia's body, which at first didn't seem worrying. She was taken to a doctor, who initially suspected a sting. But as the bump did not go away and grew larger over time, the doctor came to a different conclusion: a haemangioma, a benign tumour.
Peter F. and his family
In August 2024, the family's life was turned upside down by an unexpected diagnosis: their nine-year-old son, Peti, was diagnosed with leukaemia. The news came as a shock to everyone. The family was split: the mother and her son stayed in Szeged for treatment, while the father stayed at home with the older child.
S. Mirkó and his family
Mirkó was born in 2015. He started life as a healthy-looking, happy little boy, and today he is a smiling nine-year-old child who faces an extremely serious disease with amazing courage: Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Her family was diagnosed three years ago and since then they have been working hard to give Mirko the best possible future.
D. Molli and his family
Molli is a premature baby and lives with cerebral palsy (CP), a central nervous system injury.
It arrived in August 2022, a little over 6 weeks earlier than expected.
Being a premature baby, all statuses are measured against his corrected - planned - date of birth, so although we were patient with his development, his unstable head and delayed interest in toys were a cause for some concern, so we booked him in for developmental neurology.
