Dmitry Semkin, 5 years old
Diagnosis: retroperitoneal neuroblastoma
Hospital: Sheba Tel HaShomer
Help needed: payment for a course of chemotherapy
Fundraising goal: 150,000₪

“Dima is a little boy with enormous faith. He prays and believes he will get well. His treatment began in December 2022. We felt a lump in his tummy, and tests showed a malignant tumour. Doctors diagnosed retroperitoneal neuroblastoma. Dima had surgery and chemotherapy, recovered and spent a year in full remission. Then the cancer came back. Sheba Tel HaShomer accepted us. We sold everything we had and have already paid $380,000 for treatment. Now we have no money left and are desperate. Other foundations have turned us down, and we are alone with our pain and fear. Dima dreams of having his catheter removed so he can spend a long, long time in the bath. When he grows up, he wants to be a chef or a doctor. Dima believes love works miracles and is not shy about showing it to loved ones or strangers passing by. Please help us save our little boy. Help us!”

Dima’s Mother, Kristina
