Story

Elise completed our family like a missing puzzle piece... She was born completely healthy with no complications, and she made us happy from the very first day. Unfortunately, after some time, we noticed that our now four-year-old daughter was not developing as well as her peers. Professional examinations began... Microdeletion 14q11.2, a very rare genetic defect, which affects her psychomotor development, causes vision disorders, hypotonia, attention disorders, and atypical facial features. Elise also has major metabolic problems, which cause her severe constipation, and the problems may compound over time. She was also diagnosed with autism. Elise is a very smart little girl who tries her best every day, and it does make us very happy to see her progress. Elise used to attend a nursery in Slovakia, but now we have moved to Scotland, and unfortunately, Elise did not settle into the nursery at all. Elise usually doesn't play with the children around her, even though she has her own little world in her head, which sometimes only she understands, but she is still popular among the children. We used to attend a regular rehabilitation center, which became our second home, and now we are trying to find something similar for Elise, as rehabilitation is very important for her.

It's not always easy. Just like each of us, we also have better and worse days, but we try to manage it, and I know that we can do it together. Elise has me as a mother, a father, and a wonderful sister, Nicole, with whom she is an inseparable pair. Thank you for all the support; we really appreciate it.

7.5% of all donations to Tree of Hope in relation to this appeal will be allocated to the general charitable purposes of Tree of Hope to cover our core operating costs.

If we raise insufficient funds, or surplus funds, they will be used, if appropriate, to fund support for our child’s needs in accordance with Tree of Hope’s charitable objectives. If, in those circumstances, we are unable to use all or part of the funds for the benefit of our child, any funds that cannot be used will be transferred to be used for the general charitable purposes of Tree of Hope.
