To score a goal of a lifetime!

Nazarii played football and won. He was dreaming of a professional career but suddenly he got a red card from life. There was a pain in the leg and ointments that did not help. And one day a visit to an orthopedist who suspected: could it be oncology? Unfortunately, at the Cancer Institute, the diagnosis was confirmed. Nazarii has the second stage of the disease, without metastases. The surgeons suggest replacing the affected bone with a donor one. Such amputation-rescuing operations are now performed successfully at the Cancer Institute. What is also important is that, unlike the prosthesis, such bones engraft and grow with the child's body. 

The main problem is the price. Donor bones so far can only be purchased from abroad and need to pay more than UAH 70 000. For a single mom who works as an ordinary registrar in an outpatient clinic, this amount is unrealistic. Only we can help Nazarii to get out on the field again and score a goal of a lifetime!
