Brain surgery for Dasha

Donation protected
A second update:
Dasha is currently in Germany and the doctors are trying to further evauate her condition. It appears that surgery is too risky. I will do another update once I have more infromation.

Update:

 
You can read her story by clicking this link http://s13.ru/archives/165577?_utl_t=fb, though it is in Russian. My friend's son plays in the same hockey team as the little girl's brother.
The parents names are Sergey Kulich (father) and Olga Kulich (mother).
The funds will be withdrawn in my name.  I plan to wire the funds to the account listed in the link above.

Original post:

This is  a story of a 3-year old Dasha who lives in Eastern Europe. My childhood friend who knows the family shared it with me and  I felt compelled to do something. 

In November of 2016 Dasha's daycare providers became concerned. She just threw up  and looked awful, so they took the girl to the hospital. Upon examination  and doing some tests, the doctors were shocked. They found a huge brain tumor. Operation followed, but they couldn't remove it completely. Apparently, doing a second surgery is way too risky.

Since Belarus is a poor country, medical care  is not on par with that in its neighbooring countries in Western Europe. There is an option to take her to Germany where the doctors are fairly confident in having a decent shot at saving her life. 

There is one problem. It will cost the family 25,000 euros, something they absolutely can not afford. This is where  Go Fund Me campaign comes in.  Anything donated will be forwarded to the family (minus Go Fund Me fees). I have the bank account number that is included in the artcile I've linked to, so plan to wire the money directly.

Obviously, everyone has bills and money is tight for most these days. But if you can find it in your heart to donate even a small amount, this family will be immensely grateful. Even if they don't reach the goal of 25,000 euros, the money will help pay for medical expenses while they are trying to come up with alternative treatment in Belarus.  
Thanks in advance!
