Let's save the life of little Marichka

Little Maria is 6 and she's diagnosed leukemia. This sunny and joyful girl has turned into a severely sick child within one month. Nothing makes Maria smile anymore. She can hardly move around and is suffering from many complications such as problems with nervous system. Maria’s mouth cavity has become very much inflamed. Her beautiful lips are now swollen and bleeding. Her tender skin has been dry and peeling. Blisters on Maria’s fingertips also cause her much pain. Constant stomachaches coupled with unstable blood pressure torture this sweet little girl.

"Little Maria badly wants to travel to Egypt. She believes one can enjoy warm weather as well as watermelons there all year long! She dreams of becoming an actress or a TV newscaster…" – tells us about his daughter Maria’s father. This happy family where everyone loves and respects each other is going through a terrible ordeal. Cancer is testing the strength of these four people: a loving couple and their two treasures – their little daughters.

Dima, Maria’s father, is trying to stay as strong as he can. His heart is bleeding to see his beloved little sweety fading away. However, Dima believes in his little daughter. He believes his faith is spreading among thousands of other people who are not turning their backs on them but giving their hands of help.

Little Maria together with her mother is currently being treated in the scientific-practical pediatric center of oncology, hematology and immunology of Belarus Republic. The girl is taking her second round of high-dosed chemotherapy with two more ahead. Maria is having her bone marrow transplant next August. There is a very little time for raising the money. On ubb.org.ua we are going to raise a part of the necessary amount.

"Together we can do everything!" is the ending motto of every update from Maria’s dad about his little brave daughter on social networks. These words work and inspire us with powerful faith.

Dear friends, Let’s believe in Maria’s victory together!

This world should not lose such a wonderful little person so early!

TOGETHER WE CAN DO EVERYTHING!
