Oleg from Kamenskoye city is 12 years old. He has a brain tumor. The boy adores playing with Lego constructor, watches how to construct models in the Internet and keeps constructing objects by himself.
Oleg says that Lego is a love of his life, because it consists of the same letters as his name – O-L-E-G=L-E-G-O.
The left side of Oleg’s body is fully paralyzed and he moves in a wheelchair. Though he still has strength and will to play with Lego.
In June we presented Oleg a new Lego constructor and his mom wrote us: “Thank you for giving me a chance to see the smile of my son”.
We understand that not all ill children can survive cancer but we truly believe that all of them deserve comfortable and painless last months of their life. And we do our best to put our vision into practice.
