Living despite the illness

Since kindergarten, Viktoria has been a very creative child. Not a single holiday was held without her participation. At home, the girl always sang and danced. When Vika started school, she immediately started attending all the creative clubs and became a member of the dance team. Her hobbies and interests do not prevent her from mastering the school curriculum, and Vika is doing well in her studies. Three years ago, the girl started studying at a music school, majoring in violin. However, then the girl's life turned upside down: doctors diagnosed Vika with insulin-dependent diabetes and the absence of blood factor XII.

For some time, Viktoria had to forget about all the clubs and music. But after a year, Vika's life began to gradually return to the so-called normalcy. Unfortunately, it was already adjusted by the disease. Despite all the difficulties in her life, the girl is making progress in both her studies and creative skills. Viktoria has twice won first place in the All-Ukrainian competition in the instrumental genre of violin. In 2024, she won the Grand Prix “Voice of the Institution” and in 2025 the “Golden Voice of the Community” among schools. Later, Vika added piano and guitar to her violin studies. Now Vika is studying English intensively and has been attending additional classes for 2 years.

Vika lives with her grandmother and parents in the village. Her parents work on a farm as ordinary laborers. They give everything for the sake of their daughter's life and future, but they still do not have enough money to properly manage diabetes, including the purchase of monitoring sensors. Vika needs help.
