To see the world with healthy eyes

Lidia Belashova is a single mother who raising 6-years old Bogdan and 4-years old Milana. Lidia grew up in the orphanage by herself. She can’t rely on the relatives support and raise her children alone. Today, little Bogdan is urgently need of a surgery on his eyes. From his birth he hasn’t lacrimal channels. His mother doesn’t have money for the surgery and to help her we can only!

Bogdan’s father left the family when Lidia was pregnant. Bogdan has serious disease – bilateral chronic dacryocystitis. And expensive surgery is necessary to be done. Bogdan’s mother can’t pay for his treatment as she doesn’t work – she has to stay at home with Bogdan as he isn’t taken in kindergarten due to the problem with eyes. Bogdan has a problem with eyes from his birth. Then our doctors made wrong diagnosis – conjunctivitis. And the child has been treated for 6 years for the disease which he hadn’t at all. Bogdan’s mother, having seen that there wasn’t any result, took her son to private clinic where the right diagnosis was made.

Like all children, Bogdan likes to walk, play with a ball, toy-cars. He is friendly, sociable and likes to play with other children. But a little boy is deprived of contact with his friends because he has often bleeding from his eyes and other parents don’t let their children play with Bogdan. He almost most of the time sits at home and rarely goes out as passers-by can’t adequately respond to the boy’s problem.

Lidia does her best to give her child everything that he needs. She tries her boy has a full life as another children have. But the boy doesn’t go to kindergarten and if the surgery isn’t done in short time, this year he will not able to school also

Lidia is asking us to understand her and her life position and respond to her address to raise fund for her son’s surgery. The price of materials for one eye is 2 381 UAH. Both eyes should be operated on and the price is doubled – 4 762 UAH. Let help Bogdan to see the word with healthy eyes!
