Save Myroslav's life!

Myroslav was born in Zhytomyr. He is a happy and cheerful child, who can quickly establishes contact with their peers. At the beginning of the school year (Myroslav moved to the 6th form) the child's condition suddenly worsened, he began to complain of constant pain in his legs, and his face took on a pale shade. Mother and son appealed to the district hospital, where the next day they were sent to the regional children's hospital in Zhytomyr. The child was treated with antibiotics for a long time, untill the doctors have not yet been diagnosed "aplastic anemia, severe form".

When aplastic anemia disrupted the hematopoietic system, the bone marrow stops producing own blood cells: red blood cells, platelets, white blood cells in sufficient quantities. Therefore, almost daily Myroslav needed blood donations.

Once day Myroslav has nosebleeds that doctors were unable to stop, and the boy was transferred to the intensive care unit, where he spent a week and a half.

But the disease has not receded. In early December, Myroslav was sent to Kyiv children's hospital "Okhmatdyt" in the oncology department for making the drug "ATGAM". Therapy could not start promptly, as in the lung was detected liquid male and ulcers around the esophagus and stomach. After treatment of "Atgam", which lasted 8 days, Myroslav again sent to the native Zhytomyr for further treatment and observation. But the drug, which is needed to treat the boy, is not available in the hospital. Delay treatment too, is under the threat of a child's life. To continue treatment Myroslav needs medication "Neupogen" of 10 packs for a total amount of 15 650 UAH.

The amount of treatment prohibitive for families of Myroslav. So, the parents are asked to respond to all those who can help to save their son!
