"Fleet"
Introducing adorable "Fleet"! Fleet is 6 years old and living in Eastern Europe. He is diagnosed with microcephaly, epilepsy, and pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency.
Fleet is an adorable boy living in a large orphanage notorious for neglect. He desperately needs out and with a family who will show him the love and care he so deserves and needs!
Because of his pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency, Fleet is on a strict keto diet that is rich in fat and excludes carbohydrates. He is fed with a special milk - Ketocal.
Fleet's seizures have decreased since starting Trileptal. It is recommended that he be followed by a endocrinologist, nutritionist, and neurologist.
Fleet has a $2,500 grant with Agape where he is listed as "Asher"!
Could this handsome boy be your son? "Fleet" needs a mama that will give him all the snuggles and love. He needs access to quality medical care and therapies. He needs YOU! Could this sweet boy be the missing piece of your family?
"Fleet" is now listed as Yasho with Childrens House International! The child adapts well to the new children's group. He stands next to the children and does not isolate himself. No co-op yet. Shows displeasure when something is not to his liking. Enjoys teasing a familiar adult. Calm, smiling. Ideas are formed about the toys around him.
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2023
"Fleet" is now listed as "Asher" with Agape! His most recent update on Rainbowkids reads: Fleet loves being around people and seeks out both adults and other children. This radiant boy is often smiling and laughing with others and enjoys being in groups of people. Fleet can understand directions and is still learning to speak. Due to his muscle hypotonia, he cannot walk on his own yet and uses a walker for support. Fleet’s fine motor skills are normal for his age, and he enjoys playing with toys and stacking blocks into towers.
UPDATE JUNE 2024
Sadly, sweet "Fleet"'s family was unable to continue with the adoption, and he is back on the waiting child list. It hurts to know this precious little guy is still waiting for a forever family of his own. I hope and pray that he doesn't wait much longer. Do you have room in your heart and home for Fleet? He is now listed as "Nash" with Hopscotch and his update reads: Fleet sits independently, crawls, and pulls to a stand with stable support. He is a wobbly walker when being held by the hands or using a baby walker, but wears orthoses to assist his gross motor progress. His fine motor skills are very limited, and he requires assistance with all tasks of daily living, including toileting and spoon feeding. He eats a strict ketogenic diet. Fleet is described as a calm and radiant boy who babbles actively but does not show many responses when someone speaks to him. He is comfortable in his familiar environments although his voluntary interactions with people and objects are few. He works with a pedagogue and a psychologist as well as a physical therapist to whom he is attached and whom he greets with laughter and excitement when she enters the room. Fleet enjoys listening to music and tries to sing.
UPDATE JULY 2024
"Fleet" is now listed as "Shawn" with Children's House International and has an updated photo! He looks so skinny and sick. His condition is urgent, and he needs out ASAP. Please don't let this sweet boy waste away in an orphanage.
