"Save Joey: Support a Critical Transplant"

A Baby’s Battle for Survival: Joey Desperately Needs a Lung Transplant**

Joey is a beautiful little boy with a smile that melts hearts, but today, he’s fighting for his life. His situation is critical, and his only hope is an urgent lung transplant. We are raising €98,000 to give him a chance at life, a chance to grow up and experience all the joys of childhood that every child deserves. But time is running out, and we cannot do it alone.

It all began in November 2023 when Joey was taken for what his parents thought would be a routine check-up. What should have been an ordinary day turned into a nightmare as doctors found protein in Joey’s urine, raising alarms that no parent is ever prepared for. After further testing, Joey was diagnosed with a severe genetic kidney disease that threatened his young life.

As if this devastating news wasn’t enough, Joey’s weakened immune system quickly became compromised. He contracted both norovirus and the RS virus, causing his tiny body to fight battles on multiple fronts. His condition deteriorated rapidly, leaving his doctors with no choice but to put him on an ECMO machine to keep his heart and lungs functioning. Every breath, every heartbeat, is now being supported by this life-saving machine. But even this is only a temporary solution.

The doctors have told Joey’s family that his only chance for survival is a lung transplant in the UK. This transplant offers hope, but the journey to get there is long and filled with obstacles. The cost of the surgery, transportation of the organ, and the critical care Joey needs amounts to €98,000 — a number that feels overwhelming for his family.

But despite everything, they haven’t given up hope. Joey’s parents are watching their baby boy fight for his life every single day, and they are holding on to the belief that there is still a chance. With your help, they can give Joey the life-saving treatment he so desperately needs.

This is where you can make a difference. Every donation brings Joey one step closer to receiving his new lungs. Every act of kindness brings hope to his family that they won’t have to say goodbye to their precious baby boy. Your support, no matter how big or small, can help turn this impossible situation into a story of survival and triumph.

Joey’s life is hanging in the balance, but with your help, we can give him the future he deserves — a future filled with love, laughter, and the chance to simply live.
