The goal is to survive!

Petro is one of the twins. Once his mother was simultaneously blessed by two priests with the birth of a son and God gave her twins. Now the mother doesn’t want to believe that such God’s blessing can be taken away from her because of banal lack of money. The child needs to be operated on – tumor in the cervical spine was detected. But at the Institute of Neurosurgery in Kyiv there are no medicines since June. The parents of 5 children are desperate and ask kind-hearted people to help them, and there's no time to wait. Support them!

The first symptoms recollected by the mother appeared six months ago. Petro complained of pain in the shoulder; he said that he couldn’t carry his bag to school. The mother raised the alarm immediately because her son had never been capricious and if he complained of something, it was serious. They went to a neurologist. The doctor prescribed anti-inflammatory medicines but it didn’t produce any results. Then the boy was treated by a local bone-setter but that therapy relieved pain only temporarily.

In September 2014 the pain returned. A local neurologist advised to do a MRI scanning. It turned out that the boy had a cervical tumor. The parents referred to the Institute of Neurosurgery and Petro was hospitalized.
