This is not the first time when Viktoria fought for her life. At the beginning of the war, her family was forced to leave their home that became a frontline zone.

Being a mom of a cancer patient is the highest degree of heroism. Every day, they fight desperately against the invincible enemy. Their lives is full of IVs, punctures, test results, and desperate looks of their kids who have just begun to live when they are already in mortal danger. They need to stand firm: you mustn’t cry not to frighten the child, you mustn’t be happy not to bring bad luck. They often want to get sick instead of their children and even die. To live such a life is unbearable.
