Save Oleksandr - Urgent Brain Surgery Needed

Donation protected
This lovely young family is going through a difficult time. Their youngest child, Oleksandr Arutin, born 26.2.2017 (just 2 years old!!) was diagnosed with the brain tumour.

The urgent operation to remove the fluid on the brain was performed this week in the hospital of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where the family has been residing for the past 5 years.

The Vietnamese doctors, as well as other contacted health professionals, recommend traveling abroad for brain surgery.

At this moment the family is contacting all leading hospitals worldwide to find a neurosurgeon, who can carry out the risky procedure to remove the tumour as it is lodged deep in the brain. The surgery needs to be performed within 2-6 weeks to safe Oleksandr’s life.

Symptoms Oleksandr had been experiencing prior the diagnoses are severe headaches, lost appetite, restrictive balance control of his body, especially legs and muscle spasms.

According to already contacted hospitals, the initial estimate for the surgery is starting from 50.000 USD and the rehabilitation afterwards - 100.000 USD (chemotherapy, radiation or whatever is needed).

The family is appreciative of any financial support, as the Vietnamese health insurance is not covering any treatment abroad, well-wishers, and any other direct contacts to the leading specialist in this field.


Thank you.
