You can't even imagine how much effort was made and how many people came together so that Sonya Voloshina could get this life-saving medicine on time. For Sonya, regular injections of the antitumor drug Vinorelbine are not just a necessity. It's life saving (literally). This always smiling and kind girl has Ewing's sarcoma. This…

Christ is Risen ! Our family congratulates all Orthodox people with the glorious feast of Easter!
On Easter Sunday I prayed and asked God for a speedy recovery for my son Sasha. My little bunny is only 6 years old... and he has Cancer... Cancer, which torments my baby day after day, causing him unbearable pain and suffering ... Every day my Sashenka is lying under daily drips and taking bitter medications, crying during the painful tests and punctures... I am so scared to watch my baby suffer! I pray to God every second to deliver my baby from the terrible illness and grief that has touched our family! As I look at him weeping weakly with tubes in his hands my heart breaks... How could this be? Why?
Sasha and I were looking forward to Easter, my son was decorating Easter cakes with me and was eating them with great gusto!
It has been a month since we started the second Chemotherapy block. From the first day of treatment we had a fighting spirit! I did my best to prepare my kitten for this stage of treatment as well. We went to the block well, but we did not expect that the treatment would cause complications.
At first Sasha got mushrooms in his mouth and it was hard for the baby to eat. Sasha was naughty and upset, because during the treatment there were many prohibitions to his favorite foods, and with mushrooms every meal was a real torment... The mushrooms are gone... We sighed with relief... But then my son began to have a tummy ache, there were problems with the stomach... The baby was constantly nauseated and refused to eat... Thanks to the doctors who helped us to get through this difficult time. Now his digestion is better, but his vitals are down. My son is weak and lethargic, I encourage him and cheer him up as much as I can. And Sashenka misses his favorite toys which were left at home. Every day he asks me when we are going to come home and play with them on Sasha's crib, just like before the disease and cancer. And I still couldn't find the right words to explain to my kitten that we won't go back to our regular life anytime soon...
Thank you so much to everyone who took part in collecting money for my son! Thank you, people, for your kindness, for your prayers and words of support... Our family believes very much that everything will be alright, despite the long and hard road of treatment! With God's help and your support we will make it!"
