Fifteen-year-old Nerses’ life changed in a single day. While at school, he suddenly began to feel unwell, complaining of muscle weakness in his limbs. The next day, he was no longer able to walk.

After a series of medical examinations, Nerses was diagnosed with Acute Transverse Myelitis — a severe inflammatory condition of the spinal cord. In this condition, inflammation affects the entire width of a segment of the spinal cord, disrupting the transmission of nerve signals between the brain and the body. This can lead to motor, sensory, and internal organ dysfunction.

The disease may develop after an infection or as a result of an immune system disorder, although in some cases the cause remains unknown.

Nerses is currently receiving pulse therapy, but according to international treatment guidelines, it is urgently necessary to add the medication Octagam to increase the effectiveness of his treatment. The total cost of the required dosage is 2,520,000 AMD, a sum the family cannot afford on their own.

Today, Nerses is fighting a serious illness and needs our support. With timely and comprehensive treatment, significant recovery is possible.

Let us stand by Nerses and help him return to school — and to the football he loves.
