Treatment for Vanya

Vania likes guests very much. When somebody enters his room at the hospital, he is eager to tell about the events that happened to him during the day.

At that time his mom has to find money to buy the necessary medications for the postoperative period. This woman is a single parent who maintains two kids alone, that’s why she cannot cope without our helping hand.

Ivan’s disease manifested itself in a typical way. At first, he had a squint in one of the eyes, then he vomited and couldn’t walk steadily. His mother got alarmed and went to doctors. The doctors prescribed pills and send the child home. When Vania felt very bad, he was immediately sent to the Institute of Neurosurgery. After a series of tests, the boy was operated on and a shunt system was installed because a growing tumor caused high cranial pressure. And today Vania has a surgery to remove the tumor. And the single mother has no money for post-operative treatment of her on. The woman is asking kind-hearted people to help.
