Age: 16 yo
Residence: Odessa region
Diagnosis:spinal tumour, scoliosis.
Needs: rehabilitation to be able to walk

Since she was nine years old, Olga has been fighting her tumour. Quite successfully. But after the operation on her spine and installation of a construction the girl stopped walking.
The construction broke, scoliosis developed. In 2015 Olga went through a lucky operation in Germany, after which she was able to sit without pain. Now her life goal is to be able to stand on her legs.

The deadline is the 28th of September! Sum still left to be collected: 23 801 euros.
