A 17-year-old boy who suffers from a multitude of diseases: infantile cerebral palsy, heart failure and others, remains a helpless child for life. Vasile is the beneficiary from Soroca and has a severe psychomotor retardation.

Being "tied" to the bed all his life, Vasile has never moved and does not know how to speak. Emotions and pain are expressed in just a few sounds. This year, the boy was taken over by the palliative care team from Soroca and we hope that the care given will make him make a move as small as it is, another sound, to be heard and to express his needs.

Vasile is the older brother, he has a healthy brother 7 years younger, and he is taken care of by his mother, being abandoned by his father. The mother fails to provide complex care for the boy, being forced to work and take care of the house and another brother.

More recently, Vasile was diagnosed with bilateral pneumonia, the recovery process being hampered by the diagnosis at birth, but the assistance received from Hospice of Hope UK last month was very valuable and life-saving, namely the device for removing mucus from the lungs.
