Help Ilya to defeat the blood cancer!

Illia is the only and long-awaited child. Kind and open, on the matinees in the kindergarten, all the leading roles were of him. The boy is very fond of poetry and remarkably tells them. Well, like all the boys, bicycles and football. Parents of the boy parted right after his birth and his mother Jeanne alone brings up Illia. This child had no special health problems. He did not know what a hospital was.

But at the end of May last year, Ilya got a cold. The child lost his appetite, a dry cough appeared, and the temperature began to rise. Mom and his son turned to the local pediatrician. Have handed over analyzes and the doctor has appointed or nominated a cough syrup. Over time, the cough calmed down a little, the boy went to the kindergarten. A week later, the mother noticed that her son began to breathe heavily in his sleep, appear the wheezing and shortness of breath. In the morning they went again to take tests and the concerned pediatrician sent them the child to hematology. There were fears that the baby had pertussis. However, in hospital Illiawas diagnosed with a completely different diagnosis: acute lymphoblastic leukemia...

Now the boy is prescribed chemotherapy. The two treatment protocols are behind. After the "chemistry" the blood counts of Illia dropped. The child refused to eat, was noticeably weakened. Against the background of reduced immunity, the fungal infection intensified. Ilya had sores in his mouth. To prevent the spread of infection, the boy is prescribed an antifungal drug Noxafil, 1 vial of which costs 20 752 UAH.

This amount is very large for a single mother, it is difficult for her alone to cope with the treatment of her son. Mom Ilya asks all those who are not indifferent to help in the treatment of her son, her future, the meaning of her life... Please, help the boy!
