Save the life of Vladislav Savitsky

My name is Nikolay Savitsky and many people engaged in USA diplomacy know me well. For ten years, I worked as a member of locally employed staff in the US Embassy in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan and after that, for almost twenty years I taught the Russian language at the Foreign Service Institute DOS. I would never have thought that life would make me be involved in fundraising. To my astonishment, three months ago the doctors diagnosed my son Vladislav Savitsky with vertebral column cancer. He had surgery on his vertebral column and underwent the first set of chemical therapy. In Kyrgyzstan, patients diagnosed with cancer pay one hundred percent for their treatment from their pockets. My son Vladislav is fifty-six years old and for thirty years he has worked as a local support staff at the US Embassy in Bishkek. The further cancer treatment of Vladislav will include chemical therapy and an installment of an artificial vertebra disc. All of the above-stated make me plead with all who know me to raise the sum of $25,000 to save the life of my son Vladislav Savitsky.
