Thank you kindly for taking your time and for opening your heart to my little 2 year old nephew. I am asking for your help on a behalf of my sister. She is the mother of twins - Matvei and Milania, and her boy been diagnosed with autism, compounded by difficulties in behaviour, social interaction, communication and a sleeping disorder. Matvei needs constant care and a special treatment. After seeing a lot of different professionals we finally found a clinic and a doctor that managed to make real, positive progress, and after first 20 day course he started to sleep better and even looked at his little sister and his mum in the eyes for the first time! 

My little nephew will need to continue his treatment for at least 3 years, going back to see the Doctor every 3-4 months for 20 days in a city on the other side of the country. We need your help to raise money for this treatment, and our goal is to help him now in every way possible, so he can play with his sister, hug his mum, go to kindergarten and then school, to have friends, so he can stay safe and have a chance to learn how to adapt to the real world, like any other child can.

Every little helps, and even £5-£10 will go a very long way. You can read the full Matvei's story below. Thank you for your help.

My sister's story never was easy from the start: She had difficulties getting pregnant, it took her many years to become a mum, and when she did, it was with twins. She felt blessed and so lucky. The twins were born healthy, so it seemed, but as the kids started to grow, she noticed a big difference between them. The boy just wasn't like other kids, and unlike his little sister, he had difficulties. Matvei did not respond to his Mum, he didn't look her in the eyes, he was constantly hiding in corners and did not communicate with anyone at all. It took them a lot of different doctor's visits until Matvei got finally diagnosed with autism.

What is autism and why is it so important that Matvei get's the help he needs? Autism is a lifelong, developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people, and how they experience the world around them. Which means that the world will be a very dangerous place for Matvei if he doesn't learn how to adapt to it, as he doesn't have the same survival skills, learning skills and simple life skills like you and me.

Matvei need daily classes with a psychologist just to learn the basics. He also needs 3 years of special treatment with a Doctor, which consists of 20 day courses every 3-4 months.

Classes with psychologist – £ 107 per month

Classes with psychologist for 3 years - £ 3852

Treatment at the doctors (one 20 day course)- £ 800

Treatment at the doctors (3 year course)- £ 6712

All and all we need to raise £ 10,564 to help our boy.

Thank you for you time and your kind heart.
