I dream to hug the baby!

"My name is Oksana, I'm 35 years old. I am an artist in love with life and music. Now, this is my "spiritual" treatment, which does not allow me to give up at such a difficult time for me. For more than 12 years I have been in the struggle between a disease that has isolated me from the outside world, and the desire to live fully and get at least the slightest life pleasures. In order not to go crazy, I began to develop the talent of the artist. When I paint, I listen to beautiful music and plunge into the wonderful world of fairy tales, fantasy, and creativity. Also, I still dream of future travels. And the worst thing is that my illness prevents me, finally, from feeling the brightest joy in life – the joy of motherhood!". 

For three years in Ukraine, Oksana could not make a diagnosis. And her mother was told to seek treatment abroad! The condition of the woman worsened every day. Frequent urination was accompanied by an incredible pain, leading to loss of consciousness, and the body ceased to take painkillers. Oksana could not walk, lie down. She slept sitting for 15 minutes. She lost her appetite, started having problems with her back and legs.

But in 2013, a miracle happened! Oksana was rescued in Israel. There, finally, the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis with Hanner ulcer was established. And the most terrible turned out to be an incurable disease! Since 2013, the fight for the bladder began: annual stretching of the body, monthly fillings with hyaluronic acid preparations. At present, the possibility of stretching the bladder is no longer there, you need to completely remove it.

After a long examination and consultation at the Spizhenko Oncology Center, doctors are ready to help Oksana to perform an operation to remove the bladder while preserving the reproductive organs. The cost of surgery at the Spizhenko clinic is 366,906 UAH. At UBB, we plan to collect 262 000 UAH.

You can help Oksana by sending an SMS to the number 88007, which exists precisely to solve the acute problems of adults and children caught between life and death. After sending an SMS to the number 88007, 5 UAH from your account is transferred to the Oksana project. Details here.
