To wake Vitalii

School, rehabilitation, again school – in such a way Vitalii lived for sixteen years. And then the boy suddenly lost his sight. The examination revealed cysts of the brain. Vitaii had several surgeries and everything seemed to be fine. And then a tragedy again: the boy fell into a coma and for six weeks he didn’t come to his senses. The doctors make efforts to awaken Vitalii and to prepare him for one more operation but he constantly needs drugs that are not available in the department. And his parents have no money to buy them.

After birth hematoma was detected in Vitalii’s head. It was removed but the boy’s physical condition was not much improved. Since then, the parents did everything possible for the son to live a normal life. Last year Vitalii was diagnosed with a cyst and from April he was in a coma. Gradually he started to move, to react to actions and speech but never woke up. Now he receives expensive medication. The surgeons plan to perform a surgery as soon as his medical tests results improve. The parents who have been struggling for years for their son’s life ask to help them at a critical moment.
