Newbliss boy needs treatment for autism abroad.

Arseniy Sabanovs is an nine-year-old boy who was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in 2019. He lives in rural Newbliss with his parents Anastasija and Alexanders. The severity of his condition means that while he is verbal he cannot effectively communicate.

His parents, who are originally from Latvia made Monaghan their home 22 years ago. HIs mother Anastasija is a dressmaker and seamstress who runs Right Size Alterations on Market Street, Monaghan town. Alexanders is a stay-at-home dad. Arseniy attends St. Tiarnach's Primary school and Autism Unit in Clones.

After Arseniy's diagnosis his mother took many training courses to foster her son's development, but his needs have become too complex for her to manage alone. Having researched specialist facilities that can help Arseniy realize his full potential, Anastasija found a private clinic in Israel.

The facility that have agreed to take Asreniy on to their month-long intensive course of treatments is the Beer David Center of Jewish medicine in Jerusalem, starting in October 1st 2023. The cost of this treatment is 30,000. Arseniy will undertake four week of intensive full time therapy which will enable him to unlock the tools he needs to communicate effectively.

The family will travel at their own expense to Israel for five weeks, to facilitate Arseniy settling into his routine of treatments. Arseniy's parents will be forever grateful for any assistance they are give through GoFundMe and all of the money raised will to towards his 30,000 treatment.

Update: With the conflict in Israel raging, it was not safe for patients to travel to the Beer David Centre of Jewish Medicine in Jerusalem, so the private clinic has temporarily relocated to Armenia.

We would like to thank everyone who has supported us in the fundraising efforts so far.
