Daniel suffers from complications of celiac disease and needs to come to the United States for medical attention.
Daniel lives with his mom and dad on the outskirts of Kyiv, where fighting at times has been intense. His mom struggles to find gluten-free food to nourish Daniel. Medical care is less available since war injuries of soldiers and civilians are of the utmost importance.
The Center for Celiac Research and Treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital for Children in Boston is ready to assist the family upon arrival. However, he and his mom can’t come to the US without a sponsor. A sponsor is someone who can fill out the necessary paperwork the US government requires and have some financial responsibilities as well. To read more, go to nationalceliac.org/Ukraine.
If you are interested in being a sponsor, please contact Lee Graham at: Lee@nationalceliac.org
