Arseniy is 8 years old. He is a kind, intelligent, and positive boy: he loves reading, chess, mathematics, is learning English on his own, and adores discovering new things.
They found out about the illness during the New Year holidays: Arseniy developed a fever. They thought it was a cold, but the fever persisted for a long time. After tests, Arseniy was hospitalized in the infectious diseases hospital in Krasnodar, an oncologist was called in—and he was diagnosed with leukemia.
The boy was transferred to the oncology department of the regional children's hospital. It turned out that a bone marrow transplant was needed—but such procedures are not performed in Krasnodar, so the family was sent to Moskva. The diagnosis was confirmed, and Arseniy underwent several courses of chemotherapy, including three high-dose ones.
A transplant was planned, but during the examination a virus was found: the procedure cannot be done with it present. The virus is being treated, but it is clearing slowly. Now Arseniy needs to undergo a genetic test called the 'Immunity Disorders Panel.'
His mother is raising three children alone and cannot afford these tests. Let's help Arseniy beat the disease!
