100.000 euros is necessary to save 8-year-old Hayk Manoukian's
life. It is the price for the operation to be performed in the
Russian Federation. Still at the age of three doctors detected acute
liver-nephritic poly-schistose congenital disease in the child but
his parents couldn't afford the costly operation.
Last year they pawned their flat to be able to have the child examined
in Russia. For the past two months complications have set in and Hayk
has to be under doctors' supervision. "My son's life is at risk. The
only way to save him is liver transplantation. He can't eat anything
now", says Hayk's mother. The child has to take 8 different medicines
every day and they all cost a great sum of money.
The parents have turned to various charity organizations and
representatives of RA Government for help. The RA Ministry of Health
responded to their request paying the travel expenses to Russia.
Today Hayk is deprived of many pleasures, such as leaping, jumping,
running, playing ball games, riding a bicycle. He can play in the yard
only under his parent's supervision. He does not even go to school.
"Donation is our last hope. We have had to open a bank account to
collect money for the operation", Hayk's mother says in tears.
