Tymur will have his birthday party!

Tymur is at that age when all the surrounding things are perceived as toys. His mom shows photos and videos on the phone: here the boy chews a napkin wrapping, here he plays with the lid of a bottle, and then he mumbles and kisses his own reflection in the mirror. He is playful and funny but not today because Tymur is hooked up to the IV in the intensive care ward. Now the doctors are saving the boy’s life and his parents ask for help because they have no more money to buy medicines.

When the parents planned to celebrate the first birthday of their long-awaited son, Tymur suddenly began to feel sick. The kid was taken to the hospital immediately. The doctors suspected poisoning but the tests found nothing. Then they thought about meningitis but again the tests denied it. Then the boy had an MRI examination and a tumor was detected.

The parents went to the Institute of Neurosurgery. Tymur had an operation, then another one. The boy is now in the intensive care and needs serious medication. The parents have to buy almost all the medicines on their own. But now their resources are exhausted.
