Four years ago Natalia was diagnosed with acute myeloblastosis. For the last four years the young girl has been fighting this terrible disease. Natalia has had many blood transfusions and the blood for transfusions came from about 50 to 60 donors. Unfortunately, through these procedures she got infected with Hepatitis B and C. Now Natalia needs unceasing yearly therapy of Hepatitis B and C. The medicines that can treat this disease successfully are very expensive so she can’t start her treatment without having enough money for the whole year. Natasha lives with her mother and grandmother who is paralyzed after a stroke. Needless to say, that the family doesn’t have enough finances to provide for these vital medicines. We apply to everyone to help us raise money for Natalia’s treatment.
