Victoria’s state of health has quickly deteriorated. The most recent scan (tomogrpahy) results show a brain tumor that is growing and that the shunt, which was inserted in the spring 2015, is no longer effective. About three weeks ago, she began to experience headaches, vomiting, cramps, etc. She is currently in the intensive care neurosurgery unit of the Regional Hospital of Zaporozhye.

The doctors are working hard to improve Victoria’s status, but without medical intervention she can not go to the Institute of Neurosurgery Kiev, where she will then undergo further treatment. The neurosurgeons in Zaporozhye insist on open surgery for partial removal of the tumor and subsequent radiosurgery. Every day spent in the intensive care unit costs the Stadnik family about $40. The mother and husband of Victoria are urgently trying to raise $1200. To date, they have already raised almost half of the money. They only need $680 more. Victoria graduated from the Institute this year and was seeking a job as a physics teacher or in a related field, but the disease surprised her and now the young physicist is again fighting for her life.

The mother of Victoria Stadnik, Elena, is herself a patient with Thyroid Cancer (3rd stage). She works so hard that her beloved daughter has all the necessary medications.

Friends! Please help Victoria’s dream to be a teacher and wife come true. Maybe someday she will teach your children and grandchildren… not only about physics but also to inspire them.
