Support Lena
Lena Nadezhkina is long time social justice campaigner and environmental protection campaigner who lives in Moscow, Russia. Elena is seriously ill with a severe genetic autoimmune disease that keeps progressing, a severe case of rheumatology (Bechterew’s disease). Now Lena cannot walk without crutches or wheelchair and mainly stays at home, unable to go anywhere without much trouble.
Until now friends and family have been able to help with the needed medical costs for medicine and minor operations and an earlier campaign helped Lena to start getting her health back. For Lena to be able to walk again however, more support is needed.
What kind of help is needed?
When Lena was getting a thorough check-up at a new hospital for a planned operation on her joints in summer 2016, she was heart-broken to hear from doctors that she is too weak and too sick to be able to handle the operation and its consequences. Instead, she received 3 weeks long supportive treatments in a hospital in Moscow in August and October, and although they helped her, it was still not enough to consider operating. Even more, doctors told that there was nothing more that they could do for her.
Instead of giving up, Lena decided to try a new treatment in Germany (NAET), which is proven helpful for auto-immune diseases and other chronic conditions. Partly thanks to the money raised with the previous campaign Lena went this winter for 2 months to Berlin, and the results of the treatments were very encouraging. Her blood values got better than they have been for years, she has more energy and the pain in her joints has been getting less intense.
Now she wants to continue the treatment that helped her, but she cannot afford it, so financial support for the treatments is needed. The hope is that these treatments can help her to regain the part of her health back that she could get an operation and walk again. In this campaign we collect money for one more month of NAET treatments in Berlin. Therefore, we appeal to you, both friends and compassionate strangers, to help Lena with your generosity!
