Hi, my name is Olga Kurpita, and I’m the parent of a beautiful 3-year-old boy named Jonathan who faces more challenges in a single day than many of us can imagine in a lifetime.
My son is non-verbal and has been diagnosed with severe Autism, genetic mitochondrial dysfunction, neurodevelopmental delay, sensory processing disorder, and OCD. Every day is a battle for him — from struggling to communicate basic needs to processing the world around him in ways that most therapies have failed to reach. Ohio’s disability Medicaid has played a large role in assisting us with Jonathan’s medical bills. However, Medicaid does not cover the majority of the treatments that create lasting change. We pay each pediatric therapy intensive and any therapies outside of PT/OT/speech out of pocket. And so far, we’ve done our absolute best to address these multi-thousand-dollar expenses. We’ve tried so many resources over the past three years — countless local specialists, early intervention programs, and alternative therapies. While we’ve seen slight progress, it’s been minimal. We’ve poured everything we have into giving him the best support possible, but we know in our heart there’s more out there that could truly make a difference.
That’s why I’m reaching out today.
A New Hope in New York
After extensive research and speaking to other families, I found a highly respected doctor Robert Melillo, in New York who is a world expert in Neurodevelopmental Disorders. His Melillo Method™ is used to identify brain imbalances and treat many symptoms of mental, attention, behavioral, and learning disorders. This revolutionary approach is paired with diet and nutritional counseling and lifestyle modification to help promote brain and body balance, correcting the underlying problems common to the entire spectrum of seemingly disparate childhood or adult neurological dysfunctions. This intensive program offers a comprehensive, cutting-edge neurological evaluation and intensive therapy program tailored to children just like my son.
A full neurological examination and consultation
Visual and auditory processing tests
Cognitive and developmental testing tailored to his abilities
Advanced diagnostics like qEEG brain mapping
Daily therapy sessions using tools such as:
Cold Laser Therapy with Melillo Method Protocols
Transcranial stimulation
Virtual Reality-based neurofeedback
Rezzimaxx vibration therapy
Most importantly, one-on-one work with a leading expert who understands the complexity of his condition
This is a chance at real progress, connection, and relief — for him, and for our family.
How You Can Help
We’re seeking to raise $15,000 to cover:
The full cost of the intensive therapy program
Travel expenses to and from New York
Lodging and meals during the stay
Any necessary follow-up equipment or therapies recommended by the doctor
Every donation, no matter how small, helps bring us closer to giving my son the chance to experience the world more comfortably — and maybe even speak his first words.
If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page. Your support means everything to us, and we are so grateful for your kindness, prayers, and hope.
From the bottom of my heart — thank you.
