In 2008 Roman was placed a disappointing diagnosis – hemangiopericytoma. From 2008 to 2011 there were made five operations, in 2011 – the first radiation therapy. Since 2014 began a prolonged tumor growth, because of this in 2014 was conducted radiation therapy, in April 2015 – operation. However, the desired result was not achieved!

In spring 2015 parents contact with affiliate of Israel's clinic in Ukraine, began collecting money for medicines, but unsuccessfully. In first days of July, Roman, a talented photographer, became completely blind and his health worsened. Now Ukrainian doctors refuse from operation, explaining the inability of the procedure in the current state. The effectiveness of chemotherapy is minimal, according to patomorphology of the process and the size of the tumor. Radiation therapy is impossible, because it was already done.

In August, started the search of the clinic. Clinics of Israel offered chemotherapy or refused from the patient. Almost all clinics refused, noting that the case is very serious. But first miracle happened... Clinic Memorial (Turkey) agreed to conduct surgery in conjunction with the neurosurgeon and otolaryngologist called endovascular tumor embolization! The total cost reached to 67 000 USD, and even hospital agreed to make a discount of 30 000 USD and operate at cost. This is the only opportunity to give life and health to Roman! In addition, money is needed to bye tickets and accommodation facility.

Help this talented boy become like everyone else, give him life!
