Diagnosis: cancer.<br \/>\nKonstantin has been battling cancer for 5 years \u2014 most of his life has been spent in hospitals under IVs and chemotherapy. He has never experienced remission, and in March 2025, the disease flared up again. The treatment plan was changed, and new rounds of radiation and chemotherapy lie ahead. The family is doing everything to save their son, but their resources are fully exhausted: they sold their apartment, took out loans, and spent all their savings on previous treatment. Now, the Teknon Clinic in Spain, where Konstantin is being treated, has issued a new bill. Radiation therapy must begin very soon, but there is no money left. Konstantin\u2019s mother is reaching out to all kind-hearted people for help.

The family is constantly seeking ways to continue treatment and is now in urgent need of support: funds are needed for a consultation at the Charit\u00e9 Clinic in Berlin, accommodation, and travel expenses. In Russia, two medical councils denied further treatment, and only German doctors are ready to help.
