He lives with his Grandmother, brothers and sisters in a small Lithuanian village about 40 kilometers from Vilnius. His family does not have many things… the things we all need for comfortable healthy life. For years Marius has been suffering from tooth decay and painful teeth. He had never seen a dentist in his life. Who knows how Marius’ story would go if one day it did not come into attention of some kind people who cared to help.
It was brought to the attention of Barbara, IWAV chair, that a neighbor’s boy was having serious health issues. Barbara asked her dentist Ieva Day-Stirrat who is also an IWAV member to take a look at the boy. Needless to say Marius’ family cannot cover any dentist expenses. Ieva treated Marius’ front teeth for free. The photos below are shocking but in a good way, because they show the amazing job that Ieva did on Marius’ teeth.
The rest of treatment at the lowest cost possible will cost Marius 1000 LTL. One kind IWAV member has already donated 400 ltl, 600 more litas need to be raised.
Having learnt about Marius’ family through Barbara’s emails several IWAV members volunteered to help his family with clothes, food and toys. But the kindness didn't stop there. Last weekend Barbara’s van full of donated items went from one house to another surprising kids and families with unexpected presents.
Thanks to everyone for your kind contribution!
