«Our Misha was born 23 on July 2014 . After five long years of trying to conceive, God finally sent us a baby. Our happiness knew no bounds Finally, we are having a little baby!!! Dad was especially delighted — about the birth of a SON!!! The entire pregnancy went well and 23 on July 2014 a healthy and strong boy was born! We couldn't be overjoyed with this radiant little one with «magical eyes». The first tooth, the first solid food, the first words, the first steps… we all with delight. Misha grew up a healthy child, in his life he had hardly been sick, so we didn't know what a hospital or doctors were. When illness broke our — doors, everything turned upside down upside down in our heads. We couldn't recover for a long time and couldn't believe that our Misha had such a terrible illness, which we learned about almost by accident. 

24 May 2016 we woke up in the morning and I as always, picked up the baby in my arms and go to the kitchen to make breakfast. I put him in the high chair, and he falls out of it, can't hold on, and loses his balance. I told my husband — let's go to the hospital, Misha has something wrong with his neck, he must have been in bed. We arrived at the hospital and saw a neurologist. He examined me and said — regarding my part — everything is fine, please see a hematologist, since he had small bruises on his legs (we on them especially didn't pay attention — think like a little child, then he's going there — he'll hit himself, then he'll go there — he'll trip… and these, as it later turned out, were the first warning signs. We went to see a hematologist — she looked at the bruises, touched the liver and spleen and said — enlarged. She sent me for a complete blood count. The test showed — leukocytes 295, with a normal 4−9. The diagnosis was leukemia. These words killed me on the spot . The doctor reassured me, — don't worry — it's treatable. Misha was immediately sent with me to the hematology department. They connected him to a 24-hour IV. The child was in severe shock. —  He was — unclear about what was happening to him. He didn't he was constantly rushing to the  doors and wanted to leave.…

Tests were taken. — The exact diagnosis was: acute lymphoblastic leukemia, pre-B, infantile type. Treatment began. The first round of chemotherapy, IVs, injections, pills — is simply an incredible amount. And on 33 the day of treatment — more news — immunocytological examination of the bone marrow revealed a population of leukemic blasts, comprising 0,03% nucleated cells, and this means that Misha falls into the high-risk group and will undergo high-dose therapy, and then a bone marrow transplant will be needed. This is enough to drive you crazy… And the worst part is that such operations are not performed in Ukraine and you'll have to travel abroad  and the cheapest option in today — is Turkey and costs around 135 000 dollars. We don't have that kind of money, and I can't think of a place to get it. I'll add: I can't figure out where to get it. We also don't have much hope for the  —   government. Therefore, we ask everyone who cares about the misfortunes of others to please help us save our little and only child!
