Other Albina's photos

Albina was born on July 31, 2002. She is a very quiet and curious girl. When she was five, she learned alphabet by herself and really wanted to start school. In September 2008, she did start 1st grade, but in February she got sick. She began having fever, stomachaches and fatigue and lost her appetite.
We are from Volgograd region, so we took Albina to a clinic in Volgograd where she was diagnosed with leukemia. We learned that there is R. Gorbacheva Institute of Pediatric Hematology and Transplantology in St. Petersburg. So we took Albina to this clinic to verify the diagnosis. Unfortunately, it was confirmed that Albina has acute lymphoblastic leukemia. She now needs to undergo chemotherapy.
Please help us with paying for rented apartment and expensive medications.
