His tomorrow depends on us today

Vova is only 12 years old. Four months ago kid was diagnosed with awful decease – medulloblastoma, this is a disease when cancers cells develope in the brain. Boy totally loves to read and he's a big fan of aeromodeling. He constantly interested in technology trends and dreams to become an aircraft designer. But coward sickness crossed off every future plans and hopes.

It all began in June when Vova started having headaches. The pain would get more often and severe. Soon dizziness kicked in, his way of walking had changed. Mostly, kid tend to lay in bed. With school year coming up, mother decided to go to the doctor. They went to clinic at the end of August and MRI scan showed a brain tumor. Doctors stated that they need a month to observe how tumor is going to develop.

But parents decided not to wait for a full month. Friends of Alex and Anna, who live in Israel, went to Chaim Sheba Medical Center. After analyzing boy's MRI scans, doctor told parents to come to the hospital as soon as possible. On the 13th of September the mother and her son were in Israel and on the 21st of September Vova had a surgery. It was a successful operation because tumor hasn't had a time to spread.

Afterwards a 10 blocks of chemotherapy were assigned. One course is already behind. But there's a long way to recovery ahead. Vova has every chance to live a fulfilled successful life, but the price of that life is measured in thousands of dollars.

Parents had spent everything they had. Therefore they to turn for help to kind and responsive herts. Next step begins on 15th of February, 2015. It costs 155 000 UAH. Please help! Theres very little time.
