Hristina (11) is half the size of her peers: She has unbearable pain, her parents are desperate, they are doctors and they don't know what's wrong with her (PHOTO)
Girl Hristina Mitrevska from Skopje is 11 years old, but she is twice as lower than her peers because of the severe and undetected illness she faces.
She is the only person in Macedonia with a rare endocrinological condition and with the most severe form of chronic illness. Macedonian doctors have not yet managed to determine what it is, so the little girl's parents now see the only chance in America, or more precisely in Washington, where Hristina was invited to the free experimental diagnostics.
Although she is half the size of her peers, little Hristina is not different from them in any way. She has the same desires, she likes to draw, to play on the electric piano and to sing, she likes to play, to go to school...
- However, my greatest wish is to grow up, to stop having pain and redness on my legs and to be able to sit down. I can't play with other children because I can't go out outside on my own - little Hristina said to the reporters of the Skopje Television Telma.
The last few months have been especially difficult for this little and happy girl.
The hormonal therapy she has received so far had no effect at all, her body temperature is constantly above normal, and her legs, which are covered in redness, are slowly giving up on her.
Her doctor, Zoran Gucev sees a glimpse of hope in Washington where he sent the application for free expert diagnostics. Luckily, out of the thousands who applied, Hristina was chosen and the experts of the entire world with work on her case to determine her diagnosis.
The problem is, however, that her parents don't have around 8.200 euros, which is the cost of the travel and the accommodation in Washington during the analysis.
- The girl started suffering a lot. I would be the happiest mother if the real diagnosis was discovered and to find the cure, only to stop the pains for Hristina. She has such strong pain that it rips our hearts while we watch her suffer. She didn't have such a strong pain before, but they have been unbearable in the last two months - the mother of little Hristina said.
The little girl should go with her mother to Washington so they can perform tests in two weeks, of course, if they gather the money they need.
Thanks to the campaign started on social media by the group Edinstvenata, Hristina, and her parents are hoping that they will go and that they will discover their true diagnosis, but also the cure for her severe sickness.
