Thank you so much for helping us 3,5 years ago. Thanks to your support and care, Valeria underwent a complex operation to install a growing endoprosthesis. After this, my daughter was able to walk independently and graduated from school. Now she is studying at university.

But to continue her studies and lead a full life, Valeria needs surgery to replace the growing endoprosthesis with a permanent one.

I am raising two daughters alone and won't be able to pay for the surgery — for me this is a very large amount. I ask all caring people to help Valeria!

«Valeria grew up an active child. She attended school and attended dance classes; dancing — was her dream. In 2013 the girl was diagnosed with — osteosarcoma. Treatment took place in Kyiv, at Research Institute. She completed all the chemotherapy treatments according to protocol and underwent surgery.

The plates connecting the bones, unfortunately are not holding. During the entire period of remission, they broke five times. The last time was at the Oncology Olympics in Poland, after the swimming competition. At this competition, Valeria won a silver medal. After that, she was given a temporary spacer, which needs to be replaced with a growing one as soon as possible, because the temporary one is falling apart.

Two years ago, Lera's father died, and she was very upset. Now she is homeschooled, reads a lot, and studies a foreign language.

I — am a widow raising daughters, and I don't have the means to raise the necessary funds for the surgery on my own. We ask for help from all caring people."

In 2017the charity fund for Valeria raised 18 080,00 UAH and provided assistance worth 20 000,00 UAH.
