At one year and 10 months, David is trapped in his own body. The little one came into the world with a serious condition that prevents him from coordinating his muscles. Due to severe hypotonia, the little boy cannot support his head or sit up unless he is supported by his mother.

Imagine that you try to get up, but your body does not always listen to your commands. "Children his age are already walking, enjoying games and toys, he is not able to get up even sitting. It's hard for a mother to see her child in such a situation. David is flabby, sometimes he can't even support his head. His muscles are atrophied. It breaks my soul when I look at him", confesses Anca, David's mother.

For David and his family, his arrival was a journey full of uncertainties and challenges. Since birth, the little one has gone through difficult times, including seizures and complicated medical treatments.

"We've done countless tests. Some came out good, some didn't. Unfortunately, no doctor could link them, give a clear diagnosis. Even after the MRI exam, they could not say what is the cause that turns my child into a vegetable", says the mother of the little one.

How much do treatments cost
David's family sought answers and treatments both at home and abroad. After several investigations carried out in Germany, David received a diagnosis: severe hypotonia, the reason for the onset of this disease remains a mystery.

"David needs daily therapies and further investigation to pinpoint the exact cause of his muscle weakness and other related conditions. The treatment is expensive, reaching figures of 4,000-6,000 lei per month, but the results have begun to be seen. Since I started hyperbaric treatment, his chronic fatigue began to diminish, and his physical activity, mobility is increasing day by day. We expect that in the near future the recovery will bear fruit and David will be able to enjoy his childhood", says the mother of the little patient.

David's parents are making huge efforts to provide him with the necessary treatment. But with a monthly income of only 4,000 lei, the costs are overwhelming for this loving family.

"We call on people's kindness and generosity to help this wonderful baby have a chance at a normal life. We launched a fundraising campaign on his name, only together we can offer this little one the chance to a life full of joy, laughter and games", says Vlad Placinta, president of Save a Heart Association.
