Lysenko Aleksandr, 15 years old, from the ATO zone in Donbass region, finished 9th grade, enjoyed sports, started having back pain in May 2015. He first went to see a trauma surgeon, but he couldn’t find the reason for the pain. Some time later he started having headaches and his eyesight got worse. They went to see an ophthalmologist. He told them to get an MRI done, with revealed the tumor.

During the time of the treatment the parents have used up all their finances. They had two surgeries: first — removal of the tumor, second — shunt placement. At this point, they have asked us to help them continue with the antibiotic therapy: meropenem and vancomycin, as they have completely run out of money.
Sasha’s father is staying with him at the hospital. He asked us not to take pictures of Sasha — he doesn’t want everyone to see him in this condition.

So here’s the picture of Sasha’s father with the medication.

Friends, we have critially low funds for Sasha. We have only raised 2,102 UAH ($100) and spent 35,611.13 UAH ($1,680) and we still need to buy meropenem and vancomycin for 16,000 UAH ($755), which we currently do not have. Sasha is being prepared for the third surgery, the tumor has grown (according to the last CT). To save Sasha the treatment needs to be very agressive.
