If only the son lived

Yaroslav is a boy the whole family dreamed of. From the first days of his brother's birth, the elder Denis took care of him and remains his best friend to this day. This family from a small town in the Vinnytsia region was very happy for 7 years. And then some problems with Yaroslav’s liver were found out. Examinations showed that the boy's body concealed a serious genetic disease, which gradually destroys his body. There are some problems not only with the liver. And while the boy is waiting in line for a transplant, parents should buy medical equipment for daily treatment as soon as possible for their son to live.

The boy has cystic fibrosis is one of the most common genetic diseases. But no one knew about it in his small village, so the diagnosis remained hidden for many years. One should take this diagnosis seriously. Cystic fibrosis is a complex disease, affects the entire body, distorting the operation of all life-line systems, impedes breathing and digestion, and kills the liver. It is completely impossible to cure, but it is really important to keep it under control. Its treatment should be comprehensive. This means a lot of medical equipment at home, a lot of medications to be used daily, and a lot of patience to fulfill all the doctors' instructions.

Please help Yaroslav and his family to survive the first shock of the difficult diagnosis. Let them have the treatment they need as soon as possible so they can focus on the most important thing: learning to live a new life. And let Yaroslav live long. It's possible.

At UBB, we collect funds for an inhaler and consumables for it, a sterilizer, a bactericidal lamp and a trampoline for Yaroslav.
