Hello!
My name is Olga. I am 10 years old, and I will start 4th grade in fall.
My hobbies are drawing, flower decoration, origami and cross-stitching.
On June 20th I started feeling unwell and got a nosebleed. Even
ambulance doctors, whom we called every day, could not stop it.
Finally, I ended up at intensive care unit of Children's hospital
No.1 where I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Then I started developing complications: my kidneys quit working and
I was put on an artificial kidney. At the intensive care unit they
have very good equipment and caring doctors who gave me new life.
From ICU I was transferred to a room in a unit.
My condition has improved now, but to all my problems, I developed
diabetes and I now need a glucometer and test strips to
measure sugar in my blood.
I am being brought up by my grandmother. Our financial means are
very modest, as my grandmother left her job to stay with me.
We really need your help with buying medications.
I will be very grateful to everyone who responds!

Update as of August 23, 2009.
Olya had serious complications due to stones
in her kidneys. She is now undergoing another course of high-dosage
chemotherapy. The girl was recommended unrelated bone marrow
transplantation. In the next few days, she will be typed, and the results
will allow determining whether Olya has matching donors at the international
registry. Olya's family still needs financial support.
Update as of November 12, 2009.
A decision was made to initiate a donor search for Olya. Therefore, we
need to raise 15,000 euros for the donor search and 2,500 euros
for delivery of transplant. Please help!
Update as of January 12, 2010.
Olya feels well. She is starting a planned course of maintenance therapy.
The main course of treatment is completed, and Olya achieved remission.
She still needs therapy with Noxafil.
Update as of January 26, 2010.
Happy World fund raised the rest of the money for the donor
search and delivery of transplant for Olya. Therefore, as of now,
the fundraising for the donor search and delivery of transplant
is over, but Olya still needs Noxafil that costs 80,000 rubles
per bottle. Each bottle lasts her a week.
Update as of January 28, 2010.
Olya started a scheduled cycle of maintenance therapy.
On January 27th she had a lumbar puncture and bone marrow
puncture. Due to Dexamethasone therapy, her blood sugar
rose and she was assigned a sugar-restrictive diet.
Olya's favorite foods are not disallowed and she
is very sad.
She also wants to learn to play a guitar and would be very
happy if someone could give her the instrument.
Olya's grandmother was hospitalized due to hypertonic crisis
and Olya is looking after by her mother.
Update as of February 28, 2010.
The last month, Olya suffered from worsening of stones in her ureters.
She had surgery to install shunts in ureters and she now feels better.
Olya was able to start another cycle of maintenance therapy.
She still has fungal infection in her lungs, and CT scan even showed
some worsening. Olya's tissue was collected for testing. A different
infection may be involved as well. Olya needs to continue Noxafil
therapy: 1 bottle lasts her 5 days.
The search for the bone marrow donor is ongoing.
