Urgently need money for Nicolai’s treatment

5-year-old Nicolai Belousov recently had a complicated surgery to remove an encephaloma. Now child needs a long and costly rehabilitation. However, the only boy's relatives - mother and grandmother - after the operation do not have any money left.

In any family the child's life has the greatest value. A couple of months ago, little family of two women – Nicolai’s mom and grandmother – both work in medicine - were planning a happy future for his only child in the family - 5-year-old Nicolai. But in a moment all the plans have collapsed under the weight of the tragedy.

Nicolai Belousov was diagnosed with an encephaloma. Sevastopols doctors made an emergency medical operation on a child’s head. For the first time in Sevastopol, Mikhail Zemlyanski, the researcher of Children’s Department of the Institute of Neurosurgery Burdenko of the Russian Academy of Sciences, was invited.

In July 2013 Sebastopol philanthropists raised funds to help to make the medical operation. The operation lasted the whole day. Surgeons removed 98% of the Nicolai’s encephaloma. But now the child is in need of costly post-operative recovery. One of the most expensive drugs is Cerebrocurin that is needed to restore brain cells, it cost 4520 hryvnas.

Unfortunately, this little family has almost no money. Two women can’t urgently found even this seemingly small amount. They appeal to everyone to ask for help – because the treatment with this drug has to been started already!
