Get out of the Wheelchair

For seven months, Anton has been confined to a wheelchair. After a malignant tumor in the bone was detected, the boy’s leg was plastered to avoid a pathological fracture. And his life changed completely. Before the disease, Anton loved to play on the playground with his friends. Now he can only play chess in the hospital, recollecting the tournaments he won. You can help Anton get out of the wheelchair – he needs surgery on the affected leg and a donor’s bone installation.

The bio implant will save the boy from limb amputation, will allow him to get back on his feet and take the first step. However, firstly the bill must be paid. The total cost of the donor’s bone is over 96 000 UAH. The family found more than half of the required amount on their own and made an advance payment. Before the surgery, they have to pay the rest. This time they can’t cope without our help.

Anton sincerely believes that there are many good people in the world who will help him get out of the wheelchair and come to his friends on the playground!
