A dream to be healthy

Alina’s history is similar to other stories of children who are faced with a serious illness. Alina had a happy life, thousands of hobbies and dreams, but the disease has crossed all. This year Alina was diagnosed with a sarcoma of the left 4th rib. At first, doctors thought that a child's complaints of pain – consequences of nerve cold. When the pain increased so much that painkillers has no effect, Alina was sent to Kharkiv, where she was diagnosed sarcoma and her rib was removed. But the trials for the girl have not finished yet...

Alina was treated with chemotherapy. Doctors expect that chemotherapy will result in 10-12 months. If the efforts of the Ukrainian medicine will not appear convincing, the girl would have to be treated abroad. Treatment of Alina needs just a fantastic amount for a typical family from slobozhansk village.

Alina is the only child in family. She is, without exaggeration, beautiful and talented girl, the pride of the whole family. After school studying music, repeatedly won various vocal competitions. Even now, Alina finds the strength to comfort the parents and encourage them to be optimistic. However, physical forces of the girl are very small. Soon she must step up the chemotherapy block. And she needs stimulants to continue treatment. 10 vials of "Neupogen" should be enough to improve the girl. One bottle costs 1 200 UAH, all the course of treatment needs 12 000 UAH at this stage.

Every day is a battlefield, small and big wins for the sake of the main goal – a healthy life. Friends, support of everyone is very important for Alina!
