Hello. My name is Lyudmila and I am making this account on behalf of my sister and my 17-year-old nephew, Vladimir (we call him Vova).

Unfortunately, my nephew was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, which he had treatment for in 2022. After a few years, the disease came back in full force. In August 2025, he started a new round of treatment in Turkey at the Anadolu clinic. Yesterday, Feb 9th, we got heartbreaking news - he entered an early relapse, and new enlarged lymph nodes were found.

Unfortunately, his next step would be a bone marrow transplant. This is an expensive treatment and the price tag is not something our family can manage (unfortunately, we've emptied our pockets on the previous treatment).

The time has come to plead for help. We are begging you to please open your hearts and help us. Whether it is a prayer, a repost of this story, or a small donation, our family will forever be grateful. We understand that times are hard and every penny counts, but we are begging you to please help us. We still need $20,000 that we can't simply find.

I want to be transparent, since my nephew is getting treatment in Turkey, I will be the beneficiary of the money, responsible for transfer and distribution.

Vova is an amazing child. He is always kind, loving, and thoughtful. He loves playing guitar and, quite frankly, he is great at it. He absolutely loves his dog, Marlen, a German shepherd. He misses his four-legged friend and wants to take him for a walk when he finally has enough strength and energy to do so. In the meantime, he has to fight, fight very hard, like never before.

Please help him to take his dog for a walk again, help him to grow up and make you all proud.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
