Margarita's Smile should not fade away

Meds that may and save thousands of lives, are too expensive for many families. Girl’s family cannot provide the proper amount of lifesaving meds "Neupogen". Thanks to the meds the child's bone marrow will be able to produce enough leukocytes to continue a new course of chemotherapy.

About 8 months ago, Rita began to complain on ache in her side, after the diagnosis the tumor has been found. The girl underwent surgery at the Institute of Cancer, and was sent for further treatment to the local hospital. She was appointed 12 cycles of chemotherapy. Since then, the girl has passed 11 cycles, and without strong but expensive drugs such as "Granocyte" and "Neupogen" girl’s body could not recover leukocytes. The biggest delay between stimulating leukocytes injections may be only 3 days, after which white blood cells fall to the maximum allowable level. The child is very exhausted and is not able to produce white blood cells in the short term. Recently it was found the girl came down with the hepatitis, but on April 14 it was planned a new course of chemotherapy for the girl, which should happen in case of satisfactory analysis.
Ritochka despite all the difficulties of her life, do not stop believing and dreaming, wants to dance. A girl is a great treasure for her parents, who dream of only one thing: to see a smile of a healthy child, and remember disease just like a bad dream that will never happen again. Rita needs in 5 vials of "Neupogen" for 1 cycle of chemotherapy. Cost per bottle is 1117.00 UAH, total – 5885,00 UAH.

Our Rytochka is a desired and long-awaited baby in the family. There were no specific health problems. Rita has always been a very active child who loved to go to kindergarten, speak with friends and take part in all performances and festivals. No one would have thought that such a calamity could happen. All savings we had were spent on treatment. It is very difficult for Rita to recover after each course - leukocytes count falls, and it is needed expensive meds for their recovery. We try to keep each coin to continue treatment, but so far we are not obtained.

I beg anyone who can help my daughter, please help us complete treatment and to return to her normal life. Ritochka really wants to go back to kindergarten and dreams of dancing.
