Meet Svyatoslav. His parents call him Svyat, he is 5 years old, and he needs Oncaspar to fight acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
ALL is the most common type of childhood cancer. The good news is that about 90% of children can be cured. Of course, these results can be achieved due to the efficient and timely treatment. That is where the problem is. Recently, many essential cancer drugs have become unavailable in Russia. Oncaspar, the main medicine that is necessary to cure ALL, has not been supplied to Russia since spring 2018.
Thank you all for helping Svyatoslav Andrianov to get his treatment. Your generous donations in March made it possible to buy Oncaspar for this 5 years old boy. Today, Svyatoslav feels good. He is still dreaming about skateboarding and biking but has to stay home and draw cars because of the lockdown. His mom Natalya says that she really appreciates your support. It is even more valuable during this uncertain and insecure time. It is true that we all live in great uncertainty. None of us has ever experienced anything like that before. Maybe, just families with severely ill kids can tell what it is like not to know what happens the next day, and what to do to save your loved one. Yet, they can eventually find hope when doctors come up with a treatment plan.
