My father, just live!

When people learn about their awful diagnosis, in many cases, their families are not ready for such an experience. They have to change the way their ordinary life and family relationships go. But this is not about the Christichenko’s family. The paramount aim for everyone who lives together with Michael – is the help of parents for the only one son, the support of friends to the real friend. This young man needs chemotherapy, his own life and the future of his son Arseniy depends on it.

Michael’s medical history has begun in November 2014, when he felt malaise with the temperature about 40 degrees. About three month the doctors from Starobeshevo rayon hospital could not work out his diagnosis. The time had irrevocably passed, Michael’s health condition did not improved. In February 2015, after the long medical examination, the terrible diagnosis was proclaimed like a death sentence – theHodgkin's lymphoma–tumor disease of the lymphatic system that requires long and expensive treatment. Thisillnessisunpredictable, best oncological specialists have been trying to overcome it for years. But even in the time of despair, Michael never thought about the hard way to recovery he should pass through. All his thoughts were about how he will raise his son of four years old. One year ago, after Michael divorced, his son left to live with him and Michael devoted all his free time to him.

Michael as the real man, from the first days of his illness started to fight against his disease. Under no circumstances, he did not give up and do not lose the hope for the cure. For now, Michael is already passed the fourth chemotherapy, he takes supporting medical treatment and waits for another surgery, which requires additional finances. During the last months, more than 8 thousands of UAH were spent for treatment. Taking into account that Michael was the only one breadwinner in the family – the financial state appears to be very critical.

Dear donors, in order to support Michael in this hard situation, we are seeking for your participation. Without your financial support, Michael,on his own, and his family will not be able to pay for the next treatment course. To overcome the disease and survive for his little son, he needs the support of people who are able to empathize and help sincerely to those, who live in hope for recovery.

In Michael’s occasion we truly believe and hope that all these procedures and further treatment will lead this young man to recovery. There were occasions when people managed successfully fight against even fatal diseases. Michael has his right to have his own miracle in life.
