Ilya Kondaruk


Since opening this blog twelve years ago I have posted 3,089 posts and had 1,045,010 page views.  This is the first time I have appealed for my readers’ charity. 

This is 3 year old Ilya Kondaruk.  


As you will guess from his bald pate he has major health problems.  Last month I had a message from my friend Marina in Ukraine. 

“I am writing to you with a big request! You may have seen on my Facebook page a photo of a little boy from our city. This is Ilusha. He is 3 years old. He has cancer. neuroblastoma 4 degrees. his mother is a nurse in the city hospital, and his father is an ambulance paramedic. He is the only child in the family. His parents waited for him for a very long time. And his doctors called his birth a miracle.

He is now in the hospital in the Dnieper. He has already completed 5 courses of chemotherapy; suffered a lot of pain and suffering. But he needs an operation abroad. Clinics in Spain, Germany and Israel billed from 300-400 thousand euros !!!! This is a huge amount not only for his family, but for all of us.

For the past 3 months, our entire city has been raising money for the treatment of this boy. Charity concerts, performances, film screenings, fairs. Children collect money in schools. In one week, the city collected 7 thousand dollars, a school where my youngest son studies about a thousand euros, but still this is not enough. For three months, we have collected almost 90 thousand dollars, but for treatment in Turkey you need at least 150 - 200 thousand euros. we do not know how much time we have, and Ilya cannot wait for another 3 months. Please help us!!!!! Please spread this message among friends and acquaintances on social networks! If everyone can transfer at least 20, 10, 5 euros, we will be very grateful to everyone!”

Depending upon where you are there are different ways to contribute to helping Ilya get his operation.   (I had some difficulty paying my little sum from the UK.  In the end his family managed to install Paypal and paying through that was really easy.)

    1. Thank you very much. His mother is my friend's friend so I know it's genuine, in case anyone is concerned on that score.

    2. Sent it by Paypal, and then got a Paypal request from her for the money. Called Paypal, and they sent it, so i'm not sure why she sent me a request.

      Paypal says it's possible she's not seeing it show up if she hasn't confirmed her email address with them. Is there a way you can get in touch and find out if she got the money or not, because Paypal did send it, thanks.

  2. Thanks for sharing the information. I have asked an American physician friend who now lives and works in Ukraine to verify this, before sharing it with anyone else. Blessings, Bette Cox, Florence, SC, USA https://estherspetition.wordpress.com

  3. I think Paypal sometimes gets in a muddle and sends requests after the money is sent. I never have understood it.
