Marrow Transplantation Surgery

Donation protected
Hello my name is Vlada Wilson and I am a sophomore at George Fox University . I was born in Ukraine and still have the majority of my relatives living there. I recently found out from my brother in law over Skype that his friend's son named Arceny Bakun from Keiv, Ukraine  has been diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukemia. Arceny is 21 months old and for half of his life has been in the hospital getting treated with chemotherapy. He was born with pneumonia, and later that year was diagnosed with lymphoblasitc leukemia which will require a marrow transplantation surgery. The cancer is at a very severe stage and unfortunately, it is impossible to conduct such an operation in Ukraine. The minimum value of the surgery overseas is 130,000 euros or about 170,000 dollars. All the strength of the family is now directed towards finding funds to cover his surgery. Currently they have raised  57,014 euros of which, mostly have come from ukraine. But due to the political circumstances and the war, it has been extremely difficult to collect the funds because of the currency depreciation.  This boy's story has touched my heart and placed a desire in me to help in any way I can. As Mother Teresa said "I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.” If everyone donates what he or she can, then we can help this family receive the funds so that he can have the surgery as soon as possible and avoid future harm from the radiation that is coming from chemotherapy. 

Thank you so much for you help!

Blessings,
