For Amina to fight breast cancer
Donazione protetta
Hi everyone! I'd like to raise money for my dear friend Amina. I hope I'll be able to achieve my goal. Let me tell you the story of Amina.
In 2015 at the age of 29 she was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. She underwent a combination of surgery and radiotherapy. Since 2015 she would have every year a full medical examination. Unfortunately in July 2018 doctors discovered that the cancer spread widely and she has metastases in liver, in lungs, in the left ovary, widely spread in bones, in lymphatic nodes around neck, in mediastinum. Because of the way cancer is presented, the only treatment is available for her now is a chemotherapy. She urgently needs following medications: PERTUZUMAB, TRASTUZUMAB, DOCETAXEL and few others (depending of the combination doctors will be using). the cost of only these medications hardly affordable for her and the family. Due to the stage of cancer doctors are looking for the best possible in treatment for Amina.
Her family and friends are straggling to cover the cost of her medical expenses. Today her family is like mine. Everybody does anything in their power but cancer has put the family life up side down!
Today, 4th of Aug 2018 Amina had her first day in hospital and her family is in a deep debt already. She has a long way to go in her battle with cancer! Next few weeks will be very tough for us.
I know Amina last 18 years. She is a wonderful person. Always ready to help anybody in need, very trustful and caring person. Her kindness reached out many people. Its time for her to get something back.
Please, help Amina to fight cancer!
God bless you!

I guess I have to make some moments clear. Since 3 days not much happening here.
Its the first time I am on this platform and before to open an account I read all the rules to make sure that I am doing everything right. My first problem was that I was located in one country (Canada) and my friend is located in another country (Russia) , which is not in a list of supported countries. I contacted the supporting team with that question and the answer says "You can raise money almost for anybody in any country" with some recomendations how to do it.
Even if I left Russia many years ago, Amina remains my dear friend. I am willing to to everything in my power for her. She is as anybody in need for help, like anybody here.
Medications mentioned above are not freely available in Russia. So there are 2 ways for Amina.
1.To get a medical help somewhere outside Russia where these medications are available (which is extremely expensive way). In these case you will need money to pay in advance, the whole amount for the treatment. Plus you need money for a place to stay, for your flights, for your papers to be translated, for a translator etc. In case of chemiotherapy you will need big money few times a year. This way is available only for certain people who can afford it.
2.In the second way you go into a private section, which will be slightly cheaper and you dont need to pay in advance the total amount of money. More affordable but still very expensive. So most of the people choose the second way.
The third way has a sad end so I dont want to mention it. This is the one covered by a regular insuranse issued by a state.
Average salary in Russia for average people is about 20K-30K russian rubles per month. 1USD=63.52Russian rubles (07 Aug 2018). So the average salary in Russia is about 315$-480$ per month! The prices for those medications in Russia are about 380000-450 000 per 1 doze. You need about 1.5-2 dozes per course and you have usualy 4-6-8 courses a year. She needs about 4-6 different medications. This is something very difficult to afford! There are some charity foundations in Russia of course but they are mostly helping kids. Its a right way to do, kids come first always!
In the ways mentioned above people try to help each other. Because nobody has 2-3M rubles ready in case something happens. Constantly you can see on russian social media that people try to raise money for each other. That is how it works in Russia.
Amina had very stressful years before she got diagnosed. I belive there is a connection between her today's state and all the stress she had in previous years. First of all she lost her deeply loved father in a very tragic way. He was only 46 years old. There is no a day in a year when she does not talk about him. This affected her life a lot. Depression followed another depression.
Years of uneployment. In such moments you feel needless, abandoned.
Everybody around her tries to help in any possible way, financially, psychologically. But its such a sensitive moment as her state is very severe.
We all love Amina for her big heart! And we all wish her to win this battle!
Thank you for your help!
