Kids need your help

Remember! When you help a sick child you mitigate his or her pain, and, perhaps, you give that child a chance to survive. Your help will not only allow these children's parents to alleviate a number of financial problems, but will also fill them with confidence that their child's life is important to you and they have somebody to rely on when they are in need.

Maria Tutina, born in 2005.
Moldova, city of Vulkaneshty.
Diagnosis: right kidney nephroblastoma with extension to liver.
State: the girl has been sick since November 2009. Currently Masha is in the Scientific and Research Institute for Pediatric oncology and Haematology of N.N.Blokhin, recovering after the 5th course of chemical therapy. One more course is still to come, and then Masha will be discharged and finally send home. Masha is not a citizen of Russia, so all her treatment has to be paid for, including mandatory post-discharge examinations. All the money for her treatment was collected with the help of relatives and charity organizations, but now, when we can only rejoice Masha’s recovery and her soon return home, her parents are terribly worried because they will not be able to bring their daughter for control. All the resources are exhausted and the family is not able to pay for air tickets and paid medical examinations! Due to a coup in Moldova the father of the family lost his job, so at the moment they are in an extremely hard financial situation.
Please help Masha!
Veronica Drabanyuk, born in 2008
Ukraine, Zastavlya village.
Diagnosis: tumor on the yolk sac combined with homologous teratoma.
State: little Veronica just came to the Institute for Pediatric Oncology and Haematology. She has just started the first course of chemical therapy. Overall 4 courses are planned.
Veronica got sick in Autumn 2009. On November 26 in the city of Khmelnitsky the girl had a surgery for the removal of tumor. After the surgery Veronica had 2 more courses of chemical therapy when it turned out that the tumor was not removed completely and the focus is still there. Her parents made the decision about taking her urgently to Moscow.
Since Veronica is not a Russian national treatment here is not free for her. One course of chemical therapy costs approx. RUR 200-300 thousand, depending on individual treatment. The family alone is just not capable of paying such amount to cover for treatment of their only daughter! We are asking everyone to respond and help Veronica!
Veliev Seimour, born in 1997
Azerbaijan, city of Gayanja, military town # 83.
Diagnosis: Burkitt’s Lymphoma.
State: Seymour is taking the 4 course of chemical therapy. 1 more course of chemical therapy is planned.
After the 2nd course of chemical therapy the tumor cannot be identified, and other courses are done to enforce the result.
Since Seymour is not Russian national treatment in the Institute for Pediatric Oncology and Haematology is not free for him. Seymour’s father is a military man, and his mother does not work. The family also has an elder daughter.
Ruslan Aslanov, born in 2006
Kyzyl Dash township, the city of Baku.
Diagnosis: right adrenal neuroblastoma in IV stage, with bone metastases, liver, lymph glands.
State: Ruslan took 5 courses of chemical therapy. He is still awaiting a surgery for marrow transplantation. Since Ruslan is not Russian national treatment in the Institute for Pediatric Oncology and Haematology is not free for him. Approximate cost of the treatment program (5-6 months) is RUR 2mn.
By this moment RUR 400,000 has been raised.
Ruslan is a very independent and avoidant boy. He doesn’t like it when others tamper with his business with toy cars or other important things.
When he came to Marrow Transplantation Unit he used to meet everyone with a frown, and turn away. Now he has one love – nurse Inna. Ruslan is ready to accept anything from her, be it an injection or a gentle word. Basically, he is a serious man! Ruslan’s father works as a driver. His grandmother and grandfather are aged and not able to help. The family is just not able to collect such amount by themselves!
We are asking everyone to respond and help Ruslan recover!
