Sona Asloyan

Diagnosis: Juvenile epiphysis

Sona is a favorite of the class – a smart girl, a beauty, an excellent student. Sona fell on the stairs, which resulted in juvenile epiphysis. If treatment is not started on time, the child will be disabled for life.
Sona can’t receive free treatment in Russia, as her parents are citizens of Armenia. The family rents an apartment. Sona’s father, a construction worker, is the only one working in the family. On December 20, Sonya underwent a successful surgery. The VIVA Foundation paid 83,056 rubles for the operation as the parents were unable to pay for it.
Sonia needs a long treatment. Thanks to all of us, the first step towards recovery has already been taken.
