Thousands of hearts gathered the funds and gave hope to Sylvester

Little Sylvester lived carefreely, running and laughing, when suddenly his life was turned upside down. He began to faint, lose his hearing and strength. Doctors gave the heavy diagnosis – subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, a rare and insidious brain infection that progresses quickly and destroys everything in its path.

His mother recalls how until recently she felt his strong hugs, and today he lies almost motionless, fed with a spoon, with a tube in his nose. In Bulgaria, there was no treatment protocol, so the family sought help abroad. And there, a miracle happened: Sylvester began to hear again, to react, to sip water… and one day, after long months, he smiled for the first time.

Continuing the treatment required unbearable costs for the family. But then thousands of hearts united. More than 1,669 donors raised over 40,881.32 EUR through PavelAndreev.ORG and gave Sylvester the chance to continue his fight.

Today, his parents and the team of PavelAndreev.ORG express their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who believed and reached out a helping hand.
