In early August 2024, our world was turned upside down when our beloved mother, Irina Charitonov, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Uterine/cervical carcinosarcoma, Soon after, she underwent surgery in hopes of removing the cancer, but heartbreakingly, it returned—faster and more aggressively than anyone could have imagined. Doctors say it wont be a long journey for her but extremely painful.

Our mother is the strongest woman we know—graceful, full of faith, and always thinking of others before herself. But this cancer has brought a level of pain that’s impossible to put into words. Watching her endure this has been heartbreaking for all of us.

She doesn’t have insurance coverage for the prescriptions prescribed, and the medications she needs to manage the pain now cost nearly a thousand dollars weekly. Our father, Michael Charitonov, is retired, and the financial burden has fallen heavily on him. As her children, we’re doing everything we can—but the costs are quickly becoming too much.

If it’s on your heart to give, we would be so deeply grateful. Every dollar will go directly toward easing our mother’s pain and helping her find comfort in this difficult time.

We’re holding on to our faith and trusting God.

More than anything, we ask for your prayers—for peace, for strength, and for healing. May God bless you a thousandfold for every prayer, share, or gift given.

With love and faith,

The Charitonov Family

Irina’s husband Michael,

And their children:

Elena Davydenko, Surge Harton, Igor Charitonov, Julie Gorbunov, Johnnie Charitonov
