Hello, my name is Natalia and my daughters name is Youlia. She was born as a healthy, beautiful child. It was such a happiness for me and all our family... And then trouble has come.

When my little girl was 8 months I have brought her in a hospital for a check by the children's doctor. As result of survey the doctor has detected swelling (tumescence) in the area of a kidney and has sent us to an inspection in region hospital.
There after a long inspection the doctors have defined a diagnosis - Neuroblastoma; it signifies - cancer.

I really could not understand what happened with my child, with my cheerful, beautiful baby. The world around me was collapsing, I became desperate. But the doctors have given us a hope: they stated that Youlia can survive.
The treatment goes on already for a long time, and doctors say that the chances of my baby gradually grow.

Now a lot depends on the expenses which I can not afford. A big part of the necessary medicines have to be purchased by myself, because hospital does not have it. And medicines for treatment of a cancer are very expensive.

Unfortunately, I'm a single mother, and have no support of a husband (who has disappeared as soon as he had found out about illness of Youlia). The family - my parents, my sister - have trying to help us all the time. But now to purchase of expensive medicines have exhausted them. We have sold everything from our possessions that was possible. And still ahead we have four blocks powerful and heavy chemotherapy. And the antibiotics for any of originating complications we need to purchase ourselves.

I want that my sweet angel would remain with me. I do not realize how I will survive if Youlia will die just because of shortage of money.
I'm begging you: help my little baby!
