Hello!
My name is Margarita Petrovna. I would like to ask for help for my son. Volodya is 18, and he has been sick for six years. He now needs to undergo bone marrow transplantation. A donor has already been found, and Grant Life fund has paid 5,000 euros for the donor search at the international registry. However, we still owe 10,000 euros for the collection of transplant material and its delivery to Russia. The money is needed urgently!
Please help Volodya is you have such an opportunity! Thank you in advance for your response.
