Let's return Valera home

When Valera smiles, it seems that a ray of sunshine came into the room. Although the reason for the smiles at the boy is getting smaller, because he was seriously ill in 2012. Previously, Valera's health was almost, in March 2014 he was pushed at school, fell down on the iron stick and hit. After that Valera got a bruise, but it's alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the left buttock. The boy almost lives in the hospital. Let's help Valera return home!

The boy's mother, Evgenia, even had no idea about the terrible disease, she accidentally saw her son's injury, because the boy didn't complain of pain. The mother and son went to a doctor in the local hospital, where the child was prescribed warming. When 3 weeks of therapy have passed and the treatment failed, and the bruise only increased in size, Evgenia knew immediately that she needs to go to the oncology department. In oncology Valera was operated, and the histology test showed malignant cells. The terrible diagnosis was confirmed by examination in Kyiv. Valera had alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of left buttock.

The boy experienced the complex, long-term treatment in the clinic of Mykolaiv, in the department of oncology. Thanks the help of caring people Valera had therapy, which was necessary for his recovery. The boy was discharged from hospital home, to a normal life without droppers, injections and pain. Valera plunged fully into his study. Teachers came to the boy's home. Valera was praised for good memory and diligence. Boy prepared to go to the sixth form with joy.

Suddenly, at the end of July 2014, the new suspicions appeared. Doctors made an ultrasonography immediately. They confirmed that Valerad tumor reappeared. On 28th of August the child was operated again. On 17th of October Valera began the second course of chemotherapy. Analyses're falling down and they need to raise funds to buy expensive drugs. The one course of boy's treatment needs 11 packages of the drug "Neupogen" and 10 packages "Vfend".

The total amount for the drugs is 32 200 UAH. Valera doesn't give up. He goes through the pain and despair.

However his family has no funds, but  just child's courage may not be enough to be healthy.
