Dear friends, thank you for your compassion and your willingness to help those who need it, those who are going through difficult trials and are often left alone with their grief! Last month we helped Anastasia Zhuldybina<\/strong>, 28 years old, Russia, cerebral palsy, with the cost of rehabilitation.
\nThank you to everyone who responded to the tragedy of the family of Konstantin Belyansky<\/strong>, 9 years old, Russia, rhabdomyosarcoma. Kostya fought the disease for 6 years. Despite all the doctors\u2019 efforts, Kostya passed away. The funds raised were used to cover the child\u2019s funeral expenses. Your support is very important to the family. We also ask for your prayers!<\/p>\n

This month our help is needed by:
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\nEKATERINA LEPESHINSKAYA<\/strong>, 3 years old, Belarus
\nDiagnosis: retinoblastoma of the left eye
\nIn March 2026, little Katya was diagnosed with a malignant tumor. After several courses of chemotherapy, doctors recommended removing the affected eye. Her parents sought further medical advice and contacted a clinic in Switzerland. The tumor continued to grow, but the doctors were prepared to keep fighting. Katya underwent chemotherapy and intraocular treatment, and the first improvements appeared: the tumor began to shrink, the retina started to straighten and reattach, and the intraocular pressure decreased. For Katya, this is a chance to save her eye. Unfortunately, treatment in Switzerland is very expensive, and the family cannot afford it on their own.
\nThe required amount is 100,000 Swiss francs; 36,283 francs, or 38,800 euros, are still needed.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\"\"<\/a>MIKHAIL SOKOLOV<\/strong>, 15 years old, Russia
\nDiagnosis: multiple arthrogryposis
\nMisha spent the first 3 years of his life in an orphanage. Because of his congenital condition, he was unable not only to walk, but even to sit\u2026 Then he was adopted. His new mother did everything possible to help Misha learn to walk. Numerous surgeries and treatment in Germany and Israel brought results. First, surgery was performed on his feet. Then doctors were able to operate on the upper parts of his legs and get him onto his feet. Five years have passed, and thanks to German and Israeli doctors, Misha has learned to walk. Now Misha faces the next stage of treatment \u2013 the metal implants need to be removed from his bones. While they remain in place, he cannot sit, and they are already causing him pain. The operation is scheduled for November 27.
\n17,510 euros are needed.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
