9-year-old Rudolph was hit by a car. Donations are requested for the boy’s treatment in Estonia and Germany

On May 1, the organization Alley-oop Basketball PRO will hold a charity tournament for Rudolph in Mežapark to also collect funds for improving Rudolph’s health and quality of life. A basketball hoop is installed near the house. Taking Rudolph outside for fresh air, the parents position his wheelchair so that the boy can see the basket and his dream will give him strength.

“He can’t say anything yet, but he understands everything,” say the parents.

The fact that Rudolph sees, hears and understands has also been confirmed by the doctors, as Rudolph is able to use the alternative communication device “Toby”, for the need of which the parents have submitted an application to VTPC “Vaivari” as a necessary technical aid, which can be purchased with the parents’ co-payment.

As soon as there is a response that the technical aid has been allocated, it will be purchased immediately.

The little sister, six-year-old Anna, caresses her brother and reads her children’s books to him. The entire family has come together as a team with the ultimate goal of returning Rudolph to the fullest possible life.

“We will do everything we can to help Rudolph. He will definitely succeed. He is our soul,” says mom.

Rudolph’s mother Laima tries to find an explanation for what happened and to understand why such an ordeal has befallen them. Laima has a phrase from Jimmy Butler, Rudolph’s idol, etched in her memory: “Don’t present my life story in such a way that people feel sorry for me. I hate it. Don’t feel sorry for me. This experience has made me who I am. I am grateful to God for all the trials I have been through passed through,” was his response to reporters who asked him to talk about his difficult road to success. Laima prays to God every day, talks to Him.
