Bence Kovács is a 10-year-old boy who is battling several serious health problems.

He has a rare genetic condition: Knobloch syndrome, which means he has only 20% vision, and his condition is steadily deteriorating.

Bence previously underwent surgery for an external brain hernia, which carried serious risks.

He continues to experience neurological problems following the surgery, and doctors say that, in his current condition, stem cell treatment is the only option to prevent further deterioration of his nervous system function.

Bence’s condition is deteriorating on several fronts:

• hecan only see 20%, and this vision may soon disappear
• he suffers from epileptic seizures
• an autism spectrum disorder makes his daily life difficult
• developmental and neurological delays

According to doctors, a specialised non-autologous stem cell treatment could offer a chance that:

• preserve his vision
• reduce the frequency of epileptic seizures
• improve nervous system function
• prevent developmental stagnation

If he does not receive treatment in time, he may lose his sight permanently and his seizures may worsen.

The cost of treatment: €18,500.

We cannot afford it on our own.

Through great effort, we have raised 3 million forints so far, but we are still a long way short of the full amount.

Any amount is a huge help – even 500 forints.

If you can’t donate right now, even sharing this post can make a difference.

• a chance for Bence to keep his sight
• a chance of fewer epileptic seizures
• a chance that his brain condition won’t deteriorate further after the operation
• a chance for a little boy to have a safer, more liveable future

Thank you for taking even a minute to read Bence’s story.

Without you, we have no chance. Every bit of help counts!

Bence Kovács is a 10-year-old boy facing multiple severe health conditions.

He has a rare genetic disorder called Knobloch Syndrome, and because of it he has only 20% vision, which is steadily deteriorating.

Bence has undergone a high-risk operation due to an external brain hernia.

Even after the operation, neurological problems remain, and doctors believe that a special non-autologous stem cell treatment is the only hope to prevent further degeneration.

Bence’s condition is deteriorating in several ways:

• he has only 20% vision and may soon lose all remaining sight
• he suffers from epileptic seizures
• he is on the autism spectrum
• he has neurological and developmental delays

Doctors say this stem cell treatment is the only chance to:

• preserve his remaining vision
• reduce epileptic seizures
• improve neurological function
• prevent further developmental regression

Without this treatment, he may lose his remaining vision permanently and his seizures may worsen.

The treatment costs 18,500 euros.

We cannot raise this amount on our own.

Through great effort, we have raised 3 million HUF, but we are still far from our goal.

Any amount helps – even the smallest donation can make a difference.

If you cannot donate, sharing means the world to us.

• a chance for Bence to keep his eyesight
• a chance for fewer seizures
• a chance to prevent neurological decline following brain surgery
• a chance for a safer, more hopeful future

Thank you for reading and caring.
