Johanna B. and her family
Johanna is a young girl with autism and mild intellectual disability who will start her studies at the Dürer Street Member Institute for the Blind in Ajtos from September. At school, she will study fine arts, weaving and ceramics - activities that not only bring her joy but also help her develop mentally and physically.
Johanna's condition was revealed when she was two years old. From that moment on, her mother did everything she could to help her daughter develop and make the most of her life. After many years of early development, they worked hard to get Johanna to the point where she was able to socialise with other children in a small community.
He then went to the Csalogány Kindergarten in District 3, and then to the Szellő Utcai Elementary School, which were all special, specialised, ECEC institutions. But the road has not got any easier since then.
Johanna still needs constant supervision and care and cannot be left alone. Her mother takes her to school every day and picks her up in the afternoon. They travel by public transport and public transport every day, which is physically and mentally very demanding for them.
The family lives in a municipal flat in Békásmegyer. Johanna's mother raises her child alone and, as her daughter's condition prevents her from working, they currently support themselves and their home from the childcare allowance (GYOD/GYID).
Any help is a huge support to them - be it financial support, donations or simple human attention.
Benett and his family
Benett was born on 2 April 2015 by programmed caesarean section due to his mother's serious heart condition. The start was not easy: his mother had undergone two open heart surgeries, but she fought with all her might to ensure that her son was born safely.
Benett was born with hypotonic muscles, but initially there did not seem to be any major problems. After the first compulsory vaccination, his appetite decreased and after the second vaccination, at just 4.5 months, he was hospitalised because he would not take formula at all. From then on, his development slowed down considerably. For more than six months he weighed just 6 kilograms.
At the age of one, he could not even sit up. Dévény Therapy helped him reach his first important milestones and he attended treatments for years. Her mother tried her best to help her child develop. It wasn't until Benett was five that he could walk enough to no longer need a pushchair, and he became potty-trained at the age of six.
For many years, the family searched for the right improvements and therapies. After the Dévény gymnastics, they did TSMT for a year and a half, and also tried craniosacral and bioresonance treatments. Benett also went on therapeutic horseback riding for four years, hoping to get his speech moving one day.
Although this has not fully happened to date, Benett can now say a few words and communicates with the outside world mostly by pointing.
She currently goes to school in Paradise Coast, where she has door-to-door transport every day. His mother is on GYOD benefits and cannot work because Benett requires constant supervision. He cannot even dress and clean himself.
But now a new ray of hope has come into their lives: sign therapy. The treatments started last summer, when the therapist was able to travel to Szekszárd, and the first signs are encouraging.
Benett's story is one of perseverance, the strength of a mother's love and hope - of a family never giving up, even in the most difficult situations.Although her hearing is intact and her reactions to outside stimuli are slow to develop, the first signs of encouragement are already appearing. His vision is severely affected, yet he can follow objects and even turn his head towards them on better days. His body is characterised by severe muscle tension, for which he has already undergone major surgery and is currently undergoing ongoing treatment and medication. His epilepsy has returned this year after two years without symptoms.
For Zsombor, touch is the most important link to the world - it is the way to really connect with it. He loves being in the lap and is happy to participate in the development. He has recently started practising standing up and is already able to hold himself for a few moments with help - these small steps are huge achievements in his life.
In order to continue to develop and reach new milestones, he needs continuous, intensive therapy.
Please support Zsombor if you can - every help means another chance for him.
M. Jasmine and her family
Jasmine, a 12-year-old girl with CP, is being raised alone by her mother. She does her utmost to give her the opportunities she needs to develop, so she regularly takes her to development sessions in Dunaújváros, where they live, and to Budapest, including the Step by Step Rehabilitation Centre.
These therapies are crucial for Jasmine, but they are a heavy financial burden. As well as the cost of improvements, travel is a significant expense, which is becoming increasingly difficult for a single mother to manage.
Every day they fight to give Jasmine a chance to grow and live a fuller life.
Please support Jasmine if you can - any help is hugely appreciated
Zsombor V. and his family
Zsombor is a 3-year-old boy who is both physically and intellectually underdeveloped, yet he struggles mightily to make every small step forward. With swallowing difficulties, he has a laryngeal disorder and a feeding tube, a complex condition that requires constant attention.
Although his hearing is intact, his reactions to stimuli from the outside world are slow to develop, but the first encouraging signs are already appearing. His vision is severely impaired, but he can still follow objects, even turning his head to look at them on better days. Her body is characterised by severe muscle tension, for which she has already undergone major surgery and is currently undergoing ongoing treatment and medication. His epilepsy has returned this year after two years without symptoms.

J. Milla and family
Milla is a smiling, 4-year-old girl living with a rare metabolic disease, pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme deficiency. Her body is unable to process carbohydrates properly, so she has to follow a special ketogenic diet and gets most of her energy from fats. However, this cannot fully meet the body's needs, so its development is significantly slower: it is currently at the level of a 6-8 month old baby.
Milla's development requires ongoing, complex therapy - not only to develop her movement, but also her cognitive, sensory, vision and speech. These therapies are vital for her, but they also represent a heavy financial burden for her mother, who is raising her alone. At the moment they can spend about 100.000 HUF per month on development, which unfortunately only covers two areas.
For Milla to have a chance to develop and live a fuller life, she would also need additional therapies.
If you have the opportunity, please support Milla's development - any help will bring her closer to a better future.
János Sz. and his family
Born in 2013, John has faced more challenges than many children from a very young age. His muscle weakness made him work hard for every movement, and at the age of one, epilepsy became part of his life.
P. Lara and his family
Lara, a tiny but infinitely strong warrior, who fights more from the moment she is born than many people do in a lifetime. A toxoplasma infection has left a mark on her central nervous system - her movement and vision are damaged, she has had a shunt implant - yet every day she teaches us about true strength with a smile and perseverance.
Valeria S. and her family
Valeria, 11, has serious health problems: she is hearing impaired and has a blood disorder.

Her daily routine is filled with regular check-ups, treatments and precautions to ensure a safe and fulfilling childhood.
His mother is raising him and his siblings alone, and the family is in a difficult financial and living situation. It is vital for the little girl to have a stable, secure background and adequate health care.
We are now looking for supporters to contribute to the treatment, travel costs and daily needs of this little girl. All help counts. Let's help together to give her a chance for a more peaceful and secure future!
Sándor B. and his family
Alexander B is living with Duchenne muscular atrophy, a rare genetic disease that gradually weakens his muscles. He was diagnosed at the age of three. He ran and played until second grade, but now his mother pushes him in a stroller.
He has had spinal surgery and sleeps at night on a ventilator. The family lives on the third floor without a lift, so getting Sándor up and down is a physical challenge every day. His mobility is becoming increasingly difficult and their home is not barrier-free.
Sándor is a smiling, intelligent, persistent boy who is as eager to explore the world as any child. Now we need your help to make everyday life safer and more enjoyable for him.
All support brings him closer to an easier, more dignified life.
Please help Alexander if you can!
T. Zoé and her family
Zoé is only two years old, but she is already fighting a huge battle. After a long, unrelenting fever, she was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoid Leukaemia on 21 May 2025. Treatment began immediately and has been ongoing ever since.
Chemotherapy has been a difficult ordeal, and Zoe has even had to learn to walk again. She has a long road ahead of her, with active treatment followed by another year and a half to two years of maintenance therapy.
Her mother cares for her and her siblings alone, constantly commuting for treatment, while doing her best to give her daughter every chance of recovery.
Zoé, our little warrior princess, fights every day with a smile on her face. All the support is a source of hope and strength for the family at this difficult time.
