Help me buy the life

Mikhaela has a recurrent brain tumor. Last year she was operated on but it wasn't enough. This year in addition to surgery the girl needs radiotherapy and chemotherapy in pill form. To recover Mikhaela must undergo 5 chemo cycles, the total cost of which is 66 550 UAH. At the hospital these drugs are not available and the girl's father who earns an average of 2000 UAH will have to work almost three years in order to have the necessary amount to save his daughter. The girl’s parents are in despair and ask all kind-hearted people to help them.

The girl fell ill in July 2013. At first she had a severe headache. She had a headache before but it was nothing special like all people have. Then she suffered from fever and nausea. Mikhaela felt weether cold or hot and her eyes started hurting. The girl was hospitalized at the infectious disease department with a suspected poisoning. After two days of treatment which didn't produce any result, the girl was sent to the Regional hospital for a CT-scan of the brain. The examination detected a tumor. Mikhaela underwent a brain surgery at the Neurosurgery Institute. As a result of surgery she lost sight in one eye. After consulting at the Institute of Cancer the patient was sent to her local hospital for radiotherapy.

After treatment Neurosurgery felt better. She returned to her previous life, went to school, helped her parents in the household. In early March returning home Mikhaela's left side of the body was paralyzed. Halfway she called the parents and asked them to take her home. Mikhaela was immediately transported to Kyiv where she was operated on again. After a month and a half the girl was discharged but later she suffered from similar attacks of paralysis twice. The examination detected that the tumor grew again and the girl had to undergo a surgery one more time. Now Mikhaela's hand hurts and it doesn't function well. She needs urgent chemotherapy treatment.

Now the price of the girl's life is 66 550 UAH. That's the price of the treatment course with the chemotherapy drug "Temodal" 240 mg.

Let’s help Mikhaela to be healthy! Together we can do it!
