Georgiy grew up an active and witty child. He enjoyed soccer and cycling.

One late evening, Georgiy felt ill, and his parents went to the local hospital. After numerous tests, the boy was urgently hospitalized in an reanimation vehicle to the Odessa Regional Clinical Hematology Department with a preliminary diagnosis.

High-level hematologists conducted a series of examinations, and in a definitive diagnosis was made: acute myeloid leukemia. This was a huge blow for the mother.

The fight against the disease began in the hematology department. Since 20.08.2016 IV drips, anesthesia, and bone marrow aspirations have become routine for Georgy, a — long and difficult treatment.

Each chemotherapy treatment entails many consequences that not every child battling such a serious illness can withstand. But he has no other choice. Georgy needs expensive and long-term treatment. The boy really wants to live!

His older brother and younger sister are waiting for him at home.

Georgiy's family is appealing to all caring people with a request for help and they believe that their son will recover.
