The boy needs help
Sixteen year old Gagik Babayan has been lacking his two kidneys since 2006. After a medical examination, doctors diagnosed a back urinary valve, a two-way terminal hydro-neuros, chronical deficiency of the kidneys and a state corresponding to hemodialysis.
Gagik has been under doctors' supervision for the past four years. "My son is currently living thanks to the 3-hour hemodialysis conducted three days a week. The only way of saving my son's life is the injection of a kidney, but doctors don't guarantee anything after that," says Gagik's mother, Valya Babayan.
Although all Gagik needs is 2.5 million drams for a kidney transplant in Armenia, finding a donor is also hard. Gagik's mother says donors wants as much money and it is hard for her to find that sum. The mother takes care of Gagik by herself. Her husband is in Russia, but is disconnected from the family. Valya receives help from her friends.
Gagik could have gone through an operation abroad last year. VivaCell provided the required amount of money, but somebody named Gor Tadevosyan presented himself as a representative of a benevolent organization, took the money to pay for tickets and take care of technical issues and escaped. Mrs. Valya confided in him because Gor Tadevosyan had helped two other families in the same situation. Gor is currently under arrest, but still hasn't returned the money.
Gagik's mother is asking for help from benefactors and good people to cover the expense for her son's treatment and save his life.
The BTB bank has opened an account under Gagik Babayan's name: 16044102596400.
