Almost two years ago, my little sunshine was born, although at one point it seemed like a bolt from the blue. My daughter was born unexpectedly, with little chance of survival. But even then, she defended that chance, and from that moment on, we've been moving only «forward and not a step back», in every sense of the word. It was scary, and it was unclear what to do. How was Alisa? Alive? Breathing or not?
Thanks to God and the doctors, Alisa was saved, and even then she became a fighter. I say that she – is my champion, because everything my daughter has been through in her life since in diapers is – daily work, just like in professional sports.
We really believe we can help Dimula, but we need your help. We can't put off the time, because our son will be already 7 years old in December. And he still hasn't said a single word to us.
We express our deep gratitude to the people who, despite the current situation in our country, continue to donate funds for the treatment of seriously ill children. Every donation, even a small one, is valuable and meaningful!
In August 2021 my three-year-old son David, the third of my four children, was diagnosed with a tumor with signs of malignancy in the pons of his brain. I was told the tumor was inoperable and that they could not give me any guarantees of my son's recovery.
But we disagreed with this conclusion and found the Turkish clinic Medical Park in Antalya, where Professor Dr. Hasan Ozgur Ozdemir agreed to operate on my son. Due to the location, the operation is considered one of the most complex in the field of neurosurgery, and the risks were enormous, but we decided to go ahead with it, praying profusely, and believing.
Artem is now 20 years old. Until he was 13 he was an active child; from the age of five he practised one of the martial arts and attended computer and language courses, like most boys and girls of that age. A good-natured, friendly, open teenager, inseparable from his elder brother «like two peas in a pod». With a large company of cheerful, mischievous friends he went on bicycle rides, fishing trips and picnics in the countryside.
