Humanitarian Foundation BUDI HUMAN – Aleksandar Šapić

is raising funds for the treatment of Zoe Vadlja (2025).

Zoe has been diagnosed with intracranial hemorrhage grade IV (P52.2 – Haemorrhagia intracranialis neonati gradus IV), followed by the development of post‑hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (G91.1 – Hydrocephalus obstructivus post haemorrhagicus), focal epilepsy (G40.0 – Epilepsia idiopathica focalis), retinopathy of prematurity grade III (H35.1 – Retinopathia praematuri gradus III), cortical visual impairment – CVI (Cortical visual impairment), as well as a specific disorder of motor function (F82 – Disordo evolutionis functionis motoricae specificus).

Her treatment has included multiple neurosurgical interventions: placement of an EVD drain, bilateral VP shunt implantation, repeated revisions of cranial catheters, valve replacements, catheter repositioning, and neuroendoscopic procedures. Follow‑up CT and MRI findings show multicystically altered lateral ventricles, dilation of the fourth ventricle, marked reduction of brain parenchyma volume, areas of malacia, atrophy of the optic nerves, chiasm and tracts, as well as extra‑axial fluid collections.

Zoe is under continuous medical supervision. She attends physical therapy, occupational therapy, visual stimulation therapy, feeding‑related speech therapy, and habilitation programs.

Funds are needed for stem‑cell treatment, visual stimulation therapies, physical therapy, specialist examinations, medical and orthopedic aids, travel expenses, and accommodation during treatment.

For Zoe! Let’s be humane!
