Join Egor's Fight for a Healthier Future

Hello everyone, we are Timur and Liubov, and we are the parents of Egor Shikhakhmedov.
We are forced to start a fundraiser for a Stem Cell Therapy Procedure that will be conducted at the INNATE HEALTHCARE INSTITUTE in Arizona. The amount needed is $11,500. This procedure could significantly help our child, but unfortunately, it is not covered by insurance.
The essence of stem cell therapy lies in their ability to proliferate and stimulate the growth of other cells within the body. Upon entering the organism, they activate the immune response and promote the growth of new healthy cells.
Let's start from the beginning. Our baby was born at 40 weeks, and the pregnancy went smoothly without any complications. However, during delivery, our baby got entangled in the umbilical cord and couldn't progress through the birth canal. The doctors did not perform a C-section and instead tried to deliver the baby manually. By the time he was born, he wasn't breathing, and emergency resuscitation was performed. Thankfully, his heart started beating. For nearly two weeks, our child was on the brink of death, in a coma. But our strong little one survived, and we are infinitely grateful for that.
Egor is now almost 6 years old. He is a very kind and cheerful boy, but he cannot sit, crawl, or walk on his own, and his vocabulary is very limited. Over these 6 years, we have undergone numerous rehabilitation programs in different countries and have seen significant improvements. Recently, we learned about the Stem Cell Therapy and realized that this might be our chance, the procedure could potentially help, and we could see outstanding results!
We love our child immensely and desperately want to help him. We want Egor to be as independent as possible, as this would truly make him happy. Our family would be infinitely grateful to everyone for their support and assistance.
