Help 8 yr old Vladislav Kovalenko with his Cancer

Donation protected
I'm Kristine and this young boy is my brother,s nephew by marriage.  Vladik and his family live in the Ukraine.  Vladik has already battled cancer once in his short life.  At the age of 5 he went through treatment for Berkitt's Lymphoma and achieved remission.  The cost for the treatment  was around $70,000 and they borrowed mostly from family to pay for it.  Just 2 1/2 years later Vladik was complaining of headaches and they found his previous cancer was not back, he had a new cancer.  This time Vladik is facing treatment for Medulloblastoma.  His family has already sold their car and has now listed their house for sale to pay for this new treatment.

Vladik and his Mother are currently in Turkey where he is receiving treatment.  He will undergo a combination of surgery (to remove the tumor in the brain), 30 sessions of radiation and 9 courses of chemotherapy.  This new treatment will cost around $90,000.  My hope is that we can raise enough money so that they may keep their home.
