Lojzík’s Story

Lojzík was born at 32 weeks with severe combined disabilities. Three days before the planned birth, his twin brother, Gustík, tragically passed away due to complications during pregnancy. As a result, Lojzík faces the challenges of cerebral palsy, with only his right hand functioning fully, while the other limbs are paralyzed. He also suffers from a severe form of epilepsy—West syndrome, which we have thankfully been able to manage with medication for the past three years.

Due to significant brain damage, four-year old Lojzík is mentally at the level of an 18-month-old toddler, with autistic traits. He cannot walk and moves by scooting on his bottom. He speaks minimally, using only a few two-syllable words at most. Despite this, he is an incredibly sweet and cheerful little person, always exploring, enjoying play, and bringing us much joy. He loves Krteček (The Little Mole), looking at books, trains and the subway, musical instruments, animals, stones and water.

We are doing everything we can to help him progress in his development. Every day, throughout the year, we travel to various therapies—rehabilitation, occupational therapy, hippotherapy, swimming, acupuncture, and more. We are also constantly searching for the best aids and medical care for him. Of course, all of this is financially very demanding, so we have set up a transparent account for Lojzík and would be very grateful for any contributions.
