The beginning of the year was a rough one, to say the least. My cousin’s 4 year old boy, Sava, was diagnosed with a high-grade sarcoma of a lower jaw. The biopsy results came in on December 31, after which Sava and his mom were sent home from a Moscow clinic. That clinic had no pediatric oncology specialists,  and another hospital had no room for them. 

It has been a week and a half after receiving such devastating news and we haven’t been able to see a specialist yet because of the holidays and long lines to be seen and admitted to the hospital! This is a very aggressive form of cancer and we simply don’t have time to wait in line. 

At the moment we are exploring all possible options in other countries, which are expensive, and we would greatly appreciate your help. 

Sava was adopted by my cousin Dina and her husband Artem along with his twin sister 4 and a half years ago after nearly 15 years of trying to grow their family.
Please help us fight for Sava’s life, so that parents don’t lose their son and a sister is not left without her twin brother. 


I promise to provide frequent updates on the progress  and treatment plans.

The money will be used to cover part of the chemotherapy expenses, and will be sent directly to the hospital. The remainder will be sent to the family to cover their living expenses while they are receiving treatment in another country.
