Cancer Kids Ukraine

Several months ago Alla Spyak had an endoprosthesis removed. Instead, they installed a spacer with antibiotic to fight the staphylococcus. At the end of December 2009 Alla came back to Kiev to have the endoprosthesis reinstalled but… The doctors said the bone in her leg was severely damaged and most likely would not be able to hold a new implant. The verdict of the doctors is amputation of the leg. Just imagine how Alla, who is only 16 years old, felt when they told her about it. They give as little as 10% chance for recovery. Or as much as 10%. Alla and her parents decided that 10% is still a chance. Alla has been fighting cancer for three years. Her parents have spent all their savings. Alla’s mother is at the hospital now as well – at the neurology department. The only breadwinner is her father. This family really needs financial assistance. Help them, please.
