Hello!
My name is Olga Valerievna Alexeeva, my daughter Irina is five months old. When Ira was two months she was diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma, i.e. tumors in both eyes. She was administered several chemotherapy courses at the children's oncology unit of City Hospital 31, and now Ira must be taken to the Retinoblastoma Center at the University clinic of Essen (Germany).
After an examination Ira is to have a special treatment course – brachytherapy, which will help her retain her eyesight (in Russia all doctors can do is remove both eyes). The treatment is going to be lengthy and will consist of short courses with intervals of three weeks to two months, and might last for a total of two years. According to preliminary calculations the first hospitalization will require around 10,000 euros, then it will all depend on how the treatment goes. The hospital can only issue an invoice for the initial examination, all other calculations will be done at hospital after it.
Ira is expected at the hospital on February 8. The room at a special hotel at hospital is booked, tickets are bought, interpreters are to meet us there. But there is no money for the treatment. I do not work now, Ira's father is a driver, and we cannot earn such a sum within a week.
Please help us with our daughter's treatment!
Thank you all very much!

Olga, Irina's mother

Update as of January 28, 2010. The invoice for the examination will be received soon. It is best if donations are transferred to the bank card of Ira's mother Olga which she will take with her to Germany and which she will use to pay for her daughter's treatment.
There is a preliminary agreement with the AiF-Dobroe Serdtse fund that they will give Ira's case the priority, but the first hospitalization will have to be paid for by Ira's parents since there is only one week left before their departure and the fund will simply not have enough time to raise the money.
We are very grateful to Victoria Reznikova for negotiating with the hospital and acquiring the invoice, as well as Yana, mother of Sasha Zipenkov, for the information and moral support of Ira's parents.

Update as of February 1, 2010. We are sincerely grateful to Igor Vladimirovich Kornyshkov, who gave Olga 4,500 euros for Irina's treatment.
The tickets are reserved, invitation from the clinic received, the interview at the consulate is scheduled for Wednesday, and the room at the Parents' House by the Uniclinic in Essen is reserved. Ira and Olga will fly our on Sunday, February 7th. The bill will be issued only after Ira is examined, so we are still continuing raising money for her therapy.

Update as of February 21, 2010. Ira and her mom returned to St. Petersburg to continue therapy at City Hospital No.31. The planned examination in Essen was scheduled for June. Ira and her mom have enough money for the next trip. We are enormously grateful to all Ira's supporters!
