Before Zhanna got sick, she was a very cheerful and active girl. She enjoyed going to kindergarten and playing with her sisters and brother. She was the youngest in a large family. Dancing was her passion, and she did it perfectly, bringing delight to everyone who watched her with her bright eyes. Then, cancer struck. Her leg became sick, draining her energy and joy, and her life became filled with pain.
Zhanna dreams of getting better, going back home, and having a dog, or at least a kitty. She often draws her future and asks her mom every day, "Mummy, when will we go home?"
Mirbek kyzy Zhanna, 3 years old
Diagnosis: Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (blood cancer).
Needed: bone marrow transplantation in Acibadem Clinic (Turkey).
The fundraising amount: $10,000.
Collected: 1 161 $
The situation is catastrophic, but it does not mean we should resign ourselves to it; there is a way out. In Turkey, there is vast experience and numerous opportunities to save a little girl's life. However, the cost is significant, and the family cannot afford it alone. A transplant won't be performed until it's paid for. Urgent fundraising is needed!
Help Zhanna defeat this deadly disease and return home!

To suppress the growth of cancer cells, doctors have had to prescribe Zhanna endless courses of chemotherapy. However, this is a highly toxic treatment, and her small, weakened body cannot withstand such harsh measures. The results of her tests showed that the shock doses of chemotherapy have greatly enlarged the little girl's liver.
