Surgery is a saved hand

Yan just went to the first grade and did not even have time to get acquainted with all his classmates when he was diagnosed with shoulder bone cancer. Yan knows perfectly what his diagnosis means and that he needs long-term treatment. Yan also understands that his mom doesn’t have the money for treatment. The woman is a single parent, his father abandoned the family long ago and wasn’t interested in his son’s life. His son whose hand now has to be saved from amputation. 

Immediately after the end of the chemotherapy, Yan should have surgery to remove the tumor and to install an endoprosthesis. Only in such a way the boy will not lose his hand and will be able to return to normal school life. However, the bills for the prosthesis and medical materials for the surgery are over 60 000 UAH. For this small family, this amount is impossible, especially since the mother had to quit her job for the sake of her son.

They have only us! Together, we will be able to raise funds in time and bring everything necessary to the operating room!
