Dream – to see how her son grows

Julia is a beautiful young 32-year-old woman. She has that thing that many women can only dream of – her own special little country, whose name is a happy family where love, harmony, comfort, faith and mutual respect prevail. Julia is a mother of her 9-year-old son Danilka, she has almost everything except health. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, one relapse is her diagnosis. There is still the second phase of the course of chemotherapy, but the family's resources are depleted. Let's all give Julia a chance just to live, and give her 9-year-old son a happiness to live with his mother!

Julia's struggle for her life continues quite a long time. For nearly five years, the family, relatives and friends are struggling to gain a mother and a beloved daughter from death. First she was diagnosed "Acute lymphoblastic leukemia" on 29th of September 2009. There were still more than 2 years of painful treatment, daily struggle for life, and incredible willpower. The whole world has helped Julia: primarily the family, relatives, neighbours, friends, acquaintances and people who care did it.

For some time the disease has receded. Family has already started to believe that it is completely defeated. Julia got a job, her son started school. Life was getting better, the fear has abated. However, March 2014 became atrial. Doctors diagnosed a relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. From the 27th of March, Julia was prescribed a new course of chemotherapy. The part of the medicines is available at the hospital, the other part family purchases by its own. This is a large amount of money. Relatives, friends, and neighbours, of course, are not indifferent.

The family paid the first course of chemotherapy by its own. But after the first course will be the second one. And almost all medications must be purchased by their own. Doctors say that the estimated cost of the second course of chemotherapy will be about 50-55 thousand UAH. This amount is taken into consideration. A part of this amount (20-25%) the family is able to collect by itself, but to collect the entire amount the family, unfortunately, is not able to gather. Too long way of one family in figting for the opportunity for the loved one just to live. The amount of financial aid, that is vital for Julia to live, is 35-40 thousand UAH, and we hope to get it with your help.

Let's together give Julia a chance to see how her son grows, let's give her 9-year-old son an opportunity to hug the most native person to him, give her husband an oppotunity not to lose the sense and love of his life, and give the mother not ever to see her daughter's eyes closed!
