To live for the sake of the child!

Aliona is a young mother. Together with her loving husband, she is raising a wonderful baby Tymofii. What else could a young family want? Raising a son, enjoying their life together, making plans for the future… But the family’s happiness is overshadowed by Aliona's disease, multiple sclerosis. The young mother cannot move without assistance, as the disease has hit the spinal cord. Her legs are impossible to control, so she is chained to a wheelchair. The treatment costs 425,000 UAH. This sum is impracticable for a young family with only the father employed.

The first signs of the disease appeared several years ago, when Alena suddenly became deaf in the right ear. Later, the hearing recovered. But instead there was a weakness in the legs, and then weakness in her arms: she could not hold a spoon, or fork, or keys. The doctors made a preliminary diagnosis: multiple sclerosis. They prescribed some medication, and Alena felt much better. It seemed that the disease had gone away. Last year she got married, and two months ago a baby was born in the young family. After delivery, difficulties with movement appeared: Alena felt that her legs did not hold her, and she began falling. The "multiple sclerosis" diagnosis was confirmed by neuroradiological studies. Now she needs treatment with an expensive drug Ocrevus, which costs 425,000 UAH for two bottles.

This is a huge sum of money for Alena's family. Therefore, we ask you to help the young mother overcome these challenges. By donating even a small amount, you can save a life, a dream, and give a chance to enjoy life again! Alena pleads, "I really want to be a good mom to my son, to walk with him, to teach him things. I want to give him so much, learn with him, show him everything. But I need to get back on my feet for that. Please help me recover for my dear son!".
