Erik is a special child. From the very first days of his life, he smiled at the world. But shortly after his birth, his health took a sudden turn for the worse…
Even before he was born, life gave Erik his first and hardest trial — he lost his father in an explosion. At the same time, the blockade, constant stress, and malnutrition had already taken a toll on his mother’s pregnancy.
Born under these circumstances, Erik entered the world with health complications. His mother, grieving the loss of the most important person in her life, was also in a fragile emotional state. Yet she fought tirelessly — to give her little one a chance at a full life.
From the start, Erik’s journey was filled with challenges. Medical tests revealed strabismus and developmental delay. His future depended on urgent treatment — but his family was facing severe financial hardship and couldn’t afford it.
Kinesitherapy offered a ray of hope — a course that could help strengthen Erik’s small but resilient body. Thankfully, the Hayordi Foundation had been by Erik’s side since the day he was born, ready to offer help and support.
At this critical moment, the IMAST and Hayordi communities stood beside Erik and his mother. Together, we helped him begin life-saving treatment — a process still ongoing, but already showing signs of improvement.
Today, Erik continues his therapy — with your support. Your help doesn't just transform individual lives — it enriches our entire society.
This story is proof that together, we can achieve the impossible — and bring even the most selfless and daring dreams to life.
Our Erik keeps moving forward, step by step — and every victory of his is a victory for us all.
