The young man was injured at birth, he was suffering from many diseases, he had gained 160 kg from drugs.
“My child is gone … fly, darling.” This was written today on Facebook by Reni Grigorova – the mother of the seriously ill Stefan, who some time ago in despair wrote a letter to the president with a request that she and her boy be euthanized to end their almost 30 years of suffering and struggles with institutions.

In January 2017, the tortured Reni, who lives in Radomir, posted her desperate letter on her social network profile. She takes care of Stefan herself, who is developing a 2-year-old child and suffers from epilepsy, diabetes, hypertension and osteoporosis. The young man was injured at birth, and doctors did not give hope for his life. Lawyers and social workers advised the mother to give up the child.
At the age of 18, Stefan suffered an epileptic seizure and gained 160 kg from the strong drugs in 2 months. Then their father left them, and Reni and Stefan moved from Sofia to Radomir. They both live on BGN 500-600 per month, and the boy’s medicines alone cost BGN 150.
“My life is a torture. If we leave, he will die too. The state has abdicated from us“, says Reni Grigorova, convinced that for her and her son, euthanasia is the only way out of torture.
“I am the mother of a seriously ill invalid. My son has many diseases, damaged at birth and damaged over the years. He is now 27 years old, but he is 2 years old. He does not take care of himself and gets worse every day. When something I don’t leave him, I’m always by his side and it will be so as long as I can. their pain, “the desperate woman wrote in her letter.

She reminded the institutions that even after reaching the age of 18, children with disabilities remain children. “After 18 years, our children do not grow up! They become even heavier. There is a dental care clause in the Health Care Act, free of charge until the age of 18, and then, in a case like my son’s, the full anesthesia required costs BGN 100 per hour. Staffing and corruption reign everywhere.
Do you know, for example, how much a municipal administration spends per month on free medicines and treatment, which were given to our nobles in order to be healthy and to manage us well? I know! Against this background, I buy medicines from our pensions, pay for electricity, water and food, as does my son. For clothes and others, who knows what luxuries, whatever is left!
And this is difficult, because after a stuffing of my child with drugs that gave a side effect, he is 160 kg, difficult to move and clothes are also a problem, “added Reni Grigorova.
She herself has four strokes and is a pensioner due to illness, although he is a lawyer by education and speaks many foreign languages. “I don’t want much, just so that I don’t get into loans to friends I return, because they don’t have them either, but they help. Let’s not suffer from hellish pain – me and my child. If in an EU country, you can’t provide these basic conditions, provide us with immediate euthanasia.
Let’s not bother and do not burden your exorbitant budget. I will not burden you with more details! I don’t think I will get support, not from the institutions! That’s why I want a threshold of tolerance and euthanasia!
And a tiny luxury free funeral, because I can’t afford it either!! After you treat me like an animal, do it by law! Because there is humanity in the poor and the tortured, not in those who are interested in electoral units!
I am writing this with pain and anger! I hope there is someone to read it! “
With deep disrespect and disgust: Reni Grigorova Evstatieva, a master of law and a current pensioner due to illness, “the desperate mother wrote 4 years ago.
From then until today, Stefan and Renee’s lives have continued to be a series of pain, anguish and suffering. Which ended at least for him. Without euthanasia …
When you learn about the death of a friend’s child and your sincere reaction is: “God, thank you”, then you do not need a census – it is certain that you are in Bulgaria. I do not know how it is outside this territory, where I read today before 1989 it was great, but I know that now those of us who are trying to help people with disabilities and mothers of children with disabilities are calling and asking ourselves, “Does she have money for a funeral?”. we ask … AND NO, it wasn’t better then, it didn’t matter that the funerals were cheaper … Reni Grigorova, there is no way Stefan can be in a worse place. Fly, boy … “, Adelina wrote today Banakieva, who devotedly and tirelessly helped the family instead of the state.
Stefan’s funeral will take place on September 11, 2021 at 11 am in the ritual hall of the cemetery park in Radomir.
