Not to get sick again!

"I can construct a lot of things and can fix them. But myself I cannot fix…". 12-year-old Viacheslav paints well, carves wood with fret saw and even began to earn his first own money. But suddenly he had a terrible disease – meningitis. A year later there was again the same diagnosis. As it turned out, the reason was a defect of the skull bones. The hole serves as the gateway for any infection – and if it not operated as soon as possible, next time Viacheslav may not recover... But his parents’ resources are extremely limited and without our help, they won’t cope. 

The disease appeared abruptly. Viacheslav had ever and lost consciousness. The boy was immediately transported to the intensive care of the regional hospital. It turned out that it was meningitis. Later, the doctors found the real cause – a defect in the skull bones. The doctors managed to save the boy although after the discharge he had to learn to walk again. This year the situation has repeated. The local doctors decided to send the boy to the Institute of Neurosurgery in the capital where they prescribed a surgery that would eliminate the defect. However, Viacheslav’s parents are not able to buy all the necessary medical materials and asked for help.
