Anya's dance

6 year old Aniuta is fighting for her health, her childhood and her life for four months. By her side there is her daddy who is willing to give love and care to his daughter on behalf of her mother who has recently given birth to Aniuta’s brother and now takes care of him at home. The family is divided in half because the daughter was diagnosed with a serious disease and to recover she had to be treated for a few months and undergo a surgery aimed at removing a tumor at the National Institute of Cancer. 

In a week the surgeons will perform a unique extremely complicated operation, they will do their best to save the girl and to put her back on her feet. For the doctors to perform a planned operation they need to have a special system, medical consumables and drugs the total cost of which is 7,000 UAH. Let’s support the family and help to buy the necessary medicines, so that the girl could recover.

The young Matchenko family from Chernigiv lived a normal life like millions of Ukrainians in different parts of our country. They raised their daughter, waited for the second child, had a lot of daily chores, made plans and couldn’t imagine their future hardships. One day they noticed a swelling in their daughter’s leg and went to a friend surgeon who prescribed an X-ray examination and thus detected a tumor. The family didn’t refer to the local hospitals preferring to go straight away to the National Institute of Cancer in Kyiv where the diagnosis was made: malignant bone tumor. The family was more than shocked, grief and pain didn’t allow them to collect their thoughts, so many questions arose at the same time: what they should do, what they had to wait for, whether they could save their daughter, who they could ask for help. Aniuta’s parents pulled themselves together and started fighting for the life of their child and for the happiness of their family.
The father had to quit his job because he had no choice: being a soldier he had to defend his Motherland but at that time his daughter needed to be saved. The mother was in the last month of pregnancy and had to be under medical supervision, so she couldn’t go with her daughter to the hospital in Kyiv. Thus, the family was left without means of subsistence: they bought food and medicines for maternity allowances and the grandmother’s pension. The local stores installed charity boxes, so that the residents of a small town in the Chernigiv oblast could help Aiuta. Unfortunately, those funds won’t be enough to prepare everything necessary for the operation, that’s why the family was very worried what they could do next.
Let’s help the family to save their little girl who is in trouble due to circumstances beyond her control. Help to raise funds for medicines that had to be purchased as soon as possible!!!
