Ilyusha is not yet a year old, a smiling and cheerful little boy. He loves to sit in his parents' arms, watch adults attentively, and explore the world around him. He recently learned to form his first words and said "mom and dad" for the first time.
This summer, his mother noticed a small lump in his groin area. Concerned, his parents went to their local hospital, where the boy developed a tumor and underwent emergency surgery to remove it. Further treatment required a thorough examination of his entire body and chemotherapy. In the boy's homeland, Transnistria, there is no pediatric chemotherapy, so the family decided to travel to Russia for treatment.
Ilyusha and his mother were admitted to the Blokhin National Medical Research Center, where he was prescribed chemotherapy. Nikolai, his father, says the little boy is tolerating the entire treatment very well, isn't afraid of doctors at all, and doesn't even cry during injections. The parents raised the funds for the first few courses themselves, with the help of all their friends and family. The therapy must be continued; two more courses are currently planned for the boy. Ilya's parents can't afford the expensive treatment, which is a private charge for their son, as he doesn't have Russian citizenship.
Let's help little Ilya overcome his illness and become a champion!
