NOVEMBER 2026

Dear friends, on these cold days, the warmth of your hearts is so important! Thank you for being there and for continuing to help! Last month, we paid for a consultation with a neurologist for Sasha Provotorov, 13 years old, Russia, brain tumor.

This month, our help is needed by:

KIRA SOKOLOVA, 13 years old, Kaliningrad, Russia
DIAGNOSIS: Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (congenital vascular malformation).
Kira has a very rare congenital condition, and when she was very young, doctors recommended amputating her leg. However, her mother managed to find treatment in Germany that helped save Kira’s leg. For several years now, she has been under the care of a professor in Hamburg. The girl has undergone numerous operations. Treatment must continue because she is growing and her body is changing. Any infections or injuries carry the risk of internal bleeding and thrombosis.

Kira still needs two more operations, which must be paid for, but only part of the required funds has been raised. Approximately 27,400 euros are still needed.

ARINA DUDNIK, 38 years old, Kazakhstan
DIAGNOSIS: Stage 5 chronic kidney disease.
Arina suffers from stage 5 chronic kidney disease. Three times a week, she undergoes a four-hour dialysis session, on which her life now depends. This places a heavy physical burden on her, while the need for continuous treatment significantly limits her everyday life. To return to a full and active life, she needs an expensive kidney transplant. The transplant would give Arina the chance to live without regular dialysis and be there for her 13-year-old son, who desperately needs his mother by his side.

A large sum is needed for the operation and treatment. Part of the money has already been raised, but another 40,000 euros are still needed.

ALINA KUPRIYANOVA, 14 years old, Krasnodar region, Russia. DIAGNOSIS: cerebral palsy, hearing impairment, congenital heart defect.
Several years ago, we helped Alina pay for rehabilitation. The girl was born with a heart defect and underwent surgery on the third day of her life. The difficult postoperative period, during which she required mechanical ventilation for 3.5 months, had serious consequences – the child came home with multiple diagnoses. Alina has a congenital heart defect, cerebral palsy, profound bilateral hearing loss (grade 4), and choroidal coloboma.
But her mother, who is raising Alina alone, refuses to give up. She managed to find several clinics and specialists abroad who helped Alina learn to stand and walk, address her heart condition, and reduce her developmental delay. Thanks to rehabilitation, the girl has learned to do many things despite the doctors’ predictions. She can sit, stand, and even walk with support.

In December, Alina needs to undergo another course of rehabilitation at the Neurolife Rehabilitation Centre in China. The family has asked us for help covering the travel expenses. The amount needed is approximately 1,000 euros.

HURRY TO DO GOOD!
With warm hugs,
Yours, Alina Titova
