Igor faces the leg's amputation. Stage 3

In 2015 and 2016 thousand philanthropists helped save the leg of a seven-year-old Igor Statkevych from amputation. Heavy pathology vessels struck his right foot, causing the destruction of his entire body. Ukrainian doctors had predicted an amputation, but a number of preliminary operations in Germany were allowed to keep the child's leg and slow the progression of the disease. Your donations have helped the boy to go and study- he went to the second class in the autumn. Now Igor needs urgent knee surgery to replace a titanium plate in the leg . Operation is scheduled for the summer in the clinic of Holle. It cost 17 470 EUR.

With vascular pathology boy was born, and his parents long pestered institutions and hospitals, while the Institute Shalimova not diagnosed "arteriovenous malformation of the right leg" (a Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome). It was recommended banding, and receive no treatment. Mother sympathized, Igor gave a disability – and that's it. Due to illness leg length difference in a child already was 3.5 cm, thickness – 6 cm, feet length – 1.5 cm. Were disturbed the function of muscles and bones. All this is accompanied by terrible swelling, blue legs and genitals, as well as pain. Sometimes the skin oozes lymph. Without special treatment and surgery his leg could be amputated.
A Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is severe vascular disease and need lengthy treatment and several operations to illness ceased to destroy the child's body.

On UBB we plan to collect 130 000 UAH.
