Save Arseniy of leukemia

All happy families are alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. In one of them, a terrible diagnosis — acute lymphoblastic leukaemia of the son Arsenii - has wrecked the happiness. It happened in December 2011 when Arsenii was 3 years old. A very long and complicated treatment began, the hospital has become a second home for the baby. During this time, Arsenii went through many treatments of chemotherapy accompanied by the child’s pain and tears, and tears of his relatives. During these two years of treatment the boy grew up, learned to sympathize, empathize, love, and carry responsibility.

Thanks to the treatment, and the prayers of the family, Arsenii has recovered from the disease. New horizons opened to him, and he was in a hurry to live. In 2014, 6-year-old Arsenii enrolled in a music school to study piano, he took choir classes, learnt music theory. In the fall of 2015 Arsenii wanted to start school after turning seven, he was happy to get preschool training, and was full of hope.

However, the disease returned in July 2015. A relapse. Now all Arsenii’s dreams and plans are under threat. After the first chemotherapy, he got a verdict — an urgent bone marrow transplantation from an unrelated donor. To date, such operation cannot be done in Ukraine, so Arsenii needs to go abroad. The cost of such operation in Poland is 132 000 USD. The family is doing everything to save the child, but the funds are still lacking.

In Ukraine, they can only support the child through chemotherapy, transfusion, and blood platelets. The operation is the only hope!

Do not let this child fight with the disease on his own! Help his dream — to live – come true! The parents appeal to all sympathetic, compassionate people, who care for misfortunes of someone else's child. Please help to save Arsenii’s life! We hope for your support and help. Thank you all in advance.
