Save Viktoria’s leg!

Vika does not want to lose her leg. She wants to go dancing with her friends, to run in sports competitions, to ride a bicycle. But she cannot because one of her legs is shorter than the other by more than 10 centimeters. Viktoria won over the oncology disease – osteosarcoma. She was hospitalized for more than a year and she underwent several surgeries.

Now a special plate that replaces the removed bone is installed in her leg. But the girl grows and her healthy leg grows too but her affected leg does not grow at all and becomes deformed. If an endoprosthesis that will grow with the child is not installed in time, after a while the doctors will have to make a decision on amputation.

The cost of this prosthesis is more than a million UAH. It is made in Germany individually, taking into account patient’s peculiarities. For Viktoria’s family just like for any other Ukrainian family, this amount is too big. Her mother doesn’t work taking care of her daughter. Her father is a forester and a state budget salary. In addition, the treatment that started in 2014 exhausted the family financially.

Without our support, Viktoria will lose her leg! Let’s help her!
