Thirteen-year old Gagik Babayan suffers from a kidney disease and his
life is in danger. His two kidneys are dysfunctional and if he doesn’t
go through a dialysis, it will be impossible to save him. "His life
is prolonged for a day after each dialysis and I don’t even want to
think about what will happen if he doesn’t take the dialysis for a
day," says Gagik’s mother Mrs. Valya.

Gagik has been going through dialysis at the Arabkir clinic three times
a week for three hours since 2006. Gagik’s mother is afraid of letting
his son have an operation because besides his kidney problems, Gagik
also has problems with urination. Gagik’s mother says that doctors
have suggested taking him to Belgium to cure the disease because, as
they say, the patients who have had an operation are satisfied. The
single mother says that she just needs 10,000 dollars and is asking
for financial aid.

For now, the dialysis is free because Gagik is a minor, but
Mrs. Valya will have to pay for the dialysis if his son goes through
operations. Gagik can’t play outside with his friends because he
always feels weak. "He feels fine after the dialysis, but the next
day the level of nitrogen goes up to 1200 when the standard is 100."

Gagik is currently on a diet because all vitamins are released from
the organism due to this disease. Those who would like to help Gagik
can call +37410 62 63 74 or +37493 94 52 41.
