Orphans who Fight Life Threatening Diseases

Anya F.

Anya was born in 1998. At the age of three she was brought to the orphanage, because her single mother lost her parental rights. Anya has never knew her father. Anya is a very social and friendly girl.

She is very kind to everyone. She is a sweetheart at the orphanage. Unfortunately at the age of four she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Second half of her life she just fights for it.

April 2008 marrow bone transplantation was done for her. She had temperature and also suffered with skin condition and had to be put to hormonal therapy and blood transfusion. Unfortunately, Anya's skin reaction of "graft versus host disease" is not stable: sometimes it becomes better and sometimes worse and Anya requires many expensive medications and hormonal treatment to keep it all under control.
