Report

This was a fundraiser for Vitya, who outgrew his parents and sisters by the age of 12. The kind giant from Chelyabinskaya oblast patiently waited for our help, and it was not in vain.

In just a month, together with you, we raised most of the amount needed; 194 people supported the fundraiser to pay for Viktor's genetic analysis. When we were 37,045 rubles short of the goal, we posted on VKontakte: "To close the fundraiser in a day, every member of the community needs to donate six and a half rubles in support of Vitya. This is one of those cases when a difficult task is solved together, and it becomes unnoticeable. In this case, we will receive the analysis results in aprel and will be able to continue working on this story."

And what do you think happened? That very evening, a rare sense of unity occurred—your reposts, stories, and attention gave the post the reach that is the fuel for every fundraiser. Friends who were nearby came together and, in just one evening, did something important that will change the course of Viktor's big family's story.

About the campaign

Viktor needs a genetic analysis to find the cause of rapid growth

A rare boy lives in the Southern Urals; if he were the hero of a fairy tale, he would surely be a kind giant. At 12 years old, the child is 178 cm tall and weighs 75 kg. Moreover, he continues to grow physically, while remaining a little child inside. We are raising funds for our rare boy to pay for whole genome sequencing, which will provide doctors with the missing answers and help understand the causes of his condition. Currently, his rapid physical growth puts a heavy strain on his spine, leading to serious complications, and his slow mental development requires constant support and supervision, making it impossible for him to attend a regular school or live the typical life of a teenager. At the same time, our kind giant loves friends—friends who are not afraid of him and who can go hiking with him.

Friends, we ask for your help in raising funds to pay for a genetic analysis for this rare boy, who may never become an adult, but will always be big. Join us on a journey in search of genetic answers for the kind giant from the Southern Urals.
