Mayrambekova Salia

Today, we share the long-awaited news: the fundraiser for five-year-old Salia is now closed!

This achievement was made possible by you—people who chose not to ignore the misfortunes of others. You came together to give this little girl a chance to live.

When Salia's father informed us that the amount raised was sufficient to continue her treatment, we all felt an incredible sense of relief. The family, who had been living in constant fear for their child's life, can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Salya is a kind and bright child who loves life above all else. She enjoys drawing with markers, sculpting with plasticine, playing with dolls alongside her sister Saida, feeding the family cat, Bagira, and watching the cartoon "Masha and the Bear." Her sweet, soft bunny is always by her side, and she smiles at even the most unfamiliar faces — that's just how open and cheerful she is.

However, one day, that smile began to fade. 

At first, she experienced stomach pain and weakness, and the tests conducted provided no answers. Then came the devastating diagnosis that would turn her family’s world upside down: stage 4 retroperitoneal neuroblastoma, an aggressive cancer that had already spread to her bones, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. This type of childhood cancer is particularly insidious; it progresses rapidly, affects vital organs, and requires complex and costly treatment. Salya needs high-dose chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, and subsequent immunotherapy. Unfortunately, these procedures are not yet available in her Saliya is a native of Kyrgyzstan, and without support, she has little chance of survival. Treating neuroblastoma is a race against time. The therapy is very costly, and any delay can greatly diminish a child's chances of recovery. Saliya was urgently sent to Turkey for treatment, but it was contingent upon the availability of funds. Her family could not cover these costs on their own. They needed your help, and you responded.

Your participation is truly a miracle! 

Every donation, every repost, and every kind word contributed to her recovery. Every amount, whether small or large, was invaluable. You have helped save a little girl whom many of you may not know personally. Thanks to your generosity, Saliya can continue her treatment at the clinic, where she has a chance to overcome this disease.

We sincerely wish Salya a successful treatment and a safe return home, where she can play with her sister Saida, care for Bagira, listen to her mother's fairy tales, and simply live without pain. She deserves a joyful childhood, the opportunity to dream, and a bright future. 

Thank you for giving her this chance! Although the fundraiser is closed, your kindness will continue to impact her every tomorrow.
