Help Children with Cancer Access Treatment!

Alexei is 3 years old. He is from Ryazan, Russia. When he was just 2 years old, his young parents were shocked to discover that he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, high risk. This is a type of aggressive solid tumor that arises primarily in children. After undergoing standard therapy Alexei achieved good partial response and needed to continue treatment with immunotherapy to ensure his remission lasts.  Unfortunately, this therapy is not yet registered in Russia. By the time the medication was purchased abroad and brought to Russia, Alexei had a massive relapse in his brain.

By a miracle, he survived surgery. In April Alexei was supposed to start chemotherapy in Moscow, but due to coronavirus pandemic, it was postponed. Then Alexei caught an infection, and his hospitalization was moved to a later date once again. As it is very dangerous for Alexei to delay treatment, his family urgently sought treatment abroad.

Sant Joan de Deu hospital in Barcelona agreed to accept Alexei for recently approved immunotherapy with a partial prepayment, and the family immediately flew out. However, they need help with fundraising to ensure Alexei can complete his treatment and have the best chance to beating cancer.  This is where your help comes in - we have already transferred 1000 euros for Alexei's treatment.  In addition, several other families with chlidren treated in Barcelona have since applied and received our help.  This would not have been possible without our supporters, and we are deeply grateful.  Thank you so much for keeping the kids like Alexei in your heart and mind even during these trying times!

Stay safe!
