Aisha's Rare Eye Tumor
Little Aisha has been diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma. The girl underwent six courses of chemotherapy in Bishkek, after which she received three courses of selective intra-arterial chemotherapy in Tashkent and treatment in Moscow. Unfortunately, none of these procedures were effective, and Aisha's right eye had to be removed. The left eye can only be saved in Switzerland. Her parents have announced a fundraising campaign, as they cannot afford the treatment on their own. Aisha's father, Urmat, works as a locksmith at "Teploseti," and her mother is a housewife.
Aisha urgently needs help to preserve her vision. The full story of Aisha can be read here.
Aylin, Suffering from Down Syndrome and Heart Defect, Needs Surgery
Aylin was born with Down syndrome, which led to a suspected congenital heart defect from her first days of life. Later, the diagnosis was confirmed: the girl has a defect in the interatrial and interventricular septa, as well as a patent foramen ovale. Because of this, her heart works under overload, and every day is a challenge for her. She urgently requires surgery to close the interventricular septal defect, which costs $19,500 in Turkey. The family's financial situation is difficult: her mother raises the children alone, as the father left when Aylin was born. She works as a cashier and earns about 30,000 soms a month, which barely covers food and medicine, let alone the expensive surgery.
Aylin needs urgent surgery abroad. The full story of Aylin can be read here.

Ilgiz Urgently Needs Help: He Has Leukemia
Eight-year-old Ilgiz Yuldashev was recently diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Doctors are confident that the only way to save him is through a bone marrow transplant, which costs at least $125,000.
“After chemotherapy in Kyrgyzstan, if there is no positive result, the child will become inoperable. Therefore, treatment must begin immediately in Turkey, where there is an opportunity to perform the bone marrow transplant procedure,” explains the boy's father.
“It all started with a fever. And then came the terrible diagnosis.” Ilgiz urgently needs help. The full story of Ilgiz can be read here.
