Help to save SASHA NENAKHOV

Sashenka is only six but his eyes are already full of pain and sorrow. There was a time when he even couldn't get up from his bad. But he wants to live. Sashenka can't wait for the day when we come back home again to be happy together as we used to. Please help him to get on his feet again. Extend your hand to us until we have time, hope, until a little heart of another boy beats.

But the surgery is not the only problem. Now Sashenka needs a treatment from hepatitisB, which my son was infected with in a Vladivostok hospital. It's impossible to make the transplantation until the hepatitis is completely cured because the liver won't bear the large dose of preliminary chemotherapy.
All the medicines which the hospital has to offer don't help Sasha.

I am Maria Nenakhova, the mother of a little boy. His name is Sasha. He is from Arsenyev town from Russia. Sashenka is 6 and he's seriously ill. A year ago an awful disaster came to our family. The terrible diagnose was put to my child:

Sasha is having a course of treatment at Saint Petersburg city at hospital No 37 (the clinical center of advanced medical technologies). After the course of treatment has finished Sashenka will have a surgery: transplantation of the spinal marrow from a not relative donor. The surgery is very complicated and dangerous. Besides it is extremly expensive ($56000). But first we need to find a donor. The price of search of a not relative donor is $14000. Sashenka was put into the list of children of Saint Petersburg that need such transplantation, to Italy where the children have been helped severel times before. If the program works this time we'll still need some money but it won't be necessary to collect the entire sum. That program is our sole salvation.

But there is a preparation that can help him - Intron A (at present Intron A is the most affective medicine for hepatitisB). It's very expensive. To finish the complete course of treatment we need 4 - 5 thousand dollars. We've found money for the first course and we started the treatment. Because we could

How much time do we have? How many children left this world having no time to wait?... But there must be people capable to help to save somebody's little and at the same time very big life. The life that depends just on pieces of paper. Just? Yes, it's true� Sometimes a cost of a child's life is measured by some amount of money. Money that you couldn't find in difficult the most terrible times. And then no thousands and millions will be able to bring back the lively child's glance, the tender little hands touch. Then- too late�
So help him now! You still have time until his little heart beats, waits, hopes� He craves for living! His name is Sasha, he's just six. He's our only child, most beloved child.

infections; complete loss of hair, eyelashes and eyebrows; affection of liver, kidneys and many other important organs as the result of the radiation treatment.

We believe that your cordiality, friendship, love won't leave us in our trouble. There is enough goodness in your hearts to cure all sick children of the world! Children are our life! Prize and love them!

not wait any longer because of the toxic effect of the chemical preparations that Sasha had been taking. But once the treatment is started it must be continued otherwise the treatment won't be affective. We can't interrupt the course of treatment but we have no money to continue it. The reserve of medicines we have is only enough till the beginning of April.
