Maksym is fighting for his life — let’s help him together!

Maksym is fighting for his life — let’s help him together!

Not long ago, we all came together to raise funds for Maksym’s rehabilitation at the Kozyavkin International Rehabilitation Clinic. The trip was scheduled for March 31, 2025, and the boy had been dreaming of it with all his heart.

But sadly, life presented him with a new and difficult challenge.

In mid-March, Maksym’s parents noticed alarming changes in his health and appearance. After a medical examination, doctors delivered a devastating diagnosis — Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

This is a type of cancer affecting the lymphatic system, a crucial part of our immune defense. In children, treatment requires a particularly gentle approach to avoid long-term complications. Maksym is currently undergoing his second round of chemotherapy at the Hematology Department of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Clinical Children’s Hospital.

Despite the tough diagnosis, Maksym remains strong and courageous. His family believes in a better tomorrow — and so do we.

Although hospital treatment is provided free of charge, there are many additional expenses the family cannot cover on their own: paid tests, medications to support his underlying condition — cerebral palsy, spastic diplegia, hygiene supplies, and diapers.

Maksym believes that after he recovers, he will still be able to attend his long-awaited rehabilitation. Let’s help him overcome the disease and make his dream come true. Because children’s dreams deserve to come true.

Every contribution matters. Even a small donation can become part of a great miracle.

Without our support, six-year-old Kira Kargieva will not be able to continue essential rehabilitation and corrective therapy sessions. Please help us raise funds for treatment and development of the girl!
