BIRTHDAY IN SPITE OF A CANCER DIAGNOSIS Happy Birthday to one beautiful little princess - Masha Yakimova.We didn't come to Masha's party alone, but with our magical guest from the Land of Ice and Snow - the Queen Elsa. Together with Elsa, kids danced and sang, made a snowman, traveled to the Ice Kingdom and even made snow pizza for Olaf.…
It's incredibly important to understand that we are not alone with our troubles.
News from Kira Zagreba.
My mom writes:
I never thought that cancer would touch our family and that my only daughter's life would be in danger... I also never thought that I would have to ask for help. I also never thought that there were people who would care about someone else's child.
On December 31st Kira suddenly got sick and found out that she urgently needed an antitumor drug Rubida. The ground literally fell out from under me... In Donetsk we can`t get this medicine, but only in the Russian Federation. And I have New Year vacations ahead of me. Rubida costs 90,000 rubles. The drug is needed urgently. Immediately. I was desperate. We had no idea how to collect such a sum in one day and how to bring the medicine from Moscow to Donetsk urgently. On New Year's Eve all we could do was pray for a miracle. And a miracle happened. As it turned out, there is a man living in Belgium who suffers for the children of our long-suffering Donbass.
Thanks to help of Yves Vanroy, the medication for Kira was paid and delivered the next day! This kind man saved my child!
A week ago he helped me pay for the costly HLA typing study (to find a marrow transplant donor) at the National Research Center of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology in Moscow.
His help is like some kind of magic. Thank you Yves! For your open and kind heart!"
From the entire team of our foundation, we want to express our most sincere and just tremendous gratitude to Yves. His response in emergency situations is not just help for seriously ill children - it's dozens of little lives saved in Donbass!
