Please Help Stas Diakin Beat Cancer, Age 14
Donation protected
Hi, I'm trying to raise money for Stanislav, age 14 from Ukraine.
This poor lad is the son of my wife's friend.
He has been diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer which grows from skeletal muscle cells
Being from Ukraine his cancer is just too unique to get local treatment, and to be honest his chances of survival are much better abroad anyway
He has had investigations and his first 4 courses of chemo in Tel Aviv, Israel. 9 Chemo sessions are planned in all, along with Radiotherapy and followed potentially by a tumor removal operation.
Stanislav's parents are struggling to raise the total bill of $150,000 dollars, but have secured a big donation from a sponsor so actually only need in the region of $125,000. Equally daunting though. They have managed to fund raise in their local area and this is what kick started his treatment but having exhausted all their own funds and local donations they are now at their wits end. No body wants to have to tell their child they can't afford to save them. Stan is aware of the money situation and is putting on a brave face, you couldn't ask for more from such an emotional age.
They need to pay $40,000 within 3 weeks or the hospital will not take his treatment any further
So right now, this is URGENT.
Any help greatly appreciated
I'm not quite sure how this works but will attempt to send any money direct to the hospital and post receipts on here.
I will update you with his progress and thanks for taking the time to read this.

Most of it is in Russian and Ukrainian but Stan makes a brave effort to ask for help in English further down.
Equally if any medical staff are reading this and believe their facility could successfully treat for a much reduced rate please do get in touch!
Thank you for reading
