N. Atika and family
Atika was born in Budapest on 23 September 2022, at the 23rd week of pregnancy. Her life started with a huge struggle from the very first moments: she suffered a stroke after birth and later had to be resuscitated. She spent long months in the PICU - 112 days in total - and underwent several surgeries before she was finally allowed to go home.
As a consequence of arriving prematurely, Atika has cerebral palsy, which affects her intellectual and motor development, and her daily life requires a lot of care and assistance. She is currently attending the Pető Institute for Early Development twice a week for the third year running. She cannot yet sit, stand or walk independently, but each development brings new opportunities.
Her family is working to ensure that Atika can attend the best nursery school for her from September and lead a more independent and fulfilling life in the long term. They are now asking for help to do this - so that Atika's journey continues to be one of hope, care and opportunity.
M.Lotti, M.Máté and family
Matthew is just 6 years old - a happy, loving little boy, full of life and smiles.But on 25 September 2025, the family's life changed in an instant
Lotti is a beautiful 9-year-old girl who has been a fighter since birth. She came into the world with a cerebral ventricular enlargement, which has slowed her development, made it difficult for her to move and she needs a lot of help in her daily life.
L. Jasmine and her family
Jasmine arrived on 28 May 2023, but her joy was soon overshadowed by the news that one of the twins, Jasmine, was born with neuroblastoma. Since then, they have undergone countless surgeries and chemotherapy treatments and will spend most of their lives within the walls of the hospital.
In addition to Jasmine, there are four other minor children in the family, including her twin sister Nazéra. Due to ongoing treatments and hospital stays, the father is currently unable to work as the children cannot be left unattended.
The family is in an extremely difficult situation, both emotionally and financially. Any support will be a great help to them at this trying time. Thank you for helping to give Jasmine and her family hope for the future.
B.Donat and his family
B. Donat, Dodo is a real little fighter. He was born at 28 weeks' gestation by a life-saving Caesarean section and suffered two massive strokes after birth. The difficult start mostly affected his movement, but Dodo is still a very smart, naked-hearted boy with a huge will and zest for life.
Every day is filled with developmental activities: hydrotherapy, manual therapy, conductive development at the Pető kindergarten, where the daily commute means a long journey. His family is doing their best for him - intensive rehabilitation and regular medical check-ups are helping him to achieve his goal of walking independently, even with the help of an assistive device.
But the most important thing is that ongoing treatment can prevent more serious musculoskeletal problems later on. Every therapy is another chance for Dodo - a step towards a lighter, freer childhood.

G. Sofi and his family
From the moment of his birth, G. Sofi has been the focus of special attention. He was small and fragile, yet he had infinite strength. He spent long weeks in the silent world of hospitals, surrounded by the sound of machines, where every day brought a new challenge, a new test. Doctors and nurses watched over his every breath, and his parents
have stood by him with steadfast love.
Sofi's story unfolded slowly, with small victories: a calmer day, a successful procedure, a smile between treatments. Although there were many obstacles to overcome.

Sofi liked the water: during his swims, he seemed to lose weight,

helped you through all the difficulties. Improvements, a lot of patience and a lot of working together
slowly bore fruit: he turned more and more to the side, reaching for objects more surely, and his gibberish sounded like a new language that only he knew, but everyone around him understood.
Although his journey has not been easy, Sofi has proven every day that he is not without his limitations,
but by its persistence. And his story is not on hospital paperwork.

and the world will wonder at him.

After many years of therapy, the family finally received the most difficult news at the children's clinic in the capital: all three boys were diagnosed with a genetic, incurable and, unfortunately, fatal disease. The diagnosis: Marinescu-Sjögren syndrome. Since then, the family has been undergoing regular check-ups, physiotherapy, and ophthalmological and orthopaedic examinations. Despite surgery, the boys' eyesight is rapidly deteriorating, and they now have very poor vision. This is accompanied by a continuous deterioration in their mobility and general condition. Although their daily lives are fraught with difficulties, the boys remain true individuals, full of dreams and desires. The eldest boy, Dominik, is smart and curious, and loves to discuss current events. He takes medication for his health condition, and his greatest wish is to have a smartwatch that accurately measures his blood pressure and condition. Leonárd, the middle boy, loves to listen to and play music.
