We are an ordinary family, the Chernychenkos from the Odesa region. We live in a small village. Our father has worked as a carpenter all his life, helping neighbours with repairs and earning a living that way. Mother looks after the house and the hens, grows vegetables in the garden and makes the home cosy. 
There are two daughters in the family. The younger one, Irochka, turns 15 on 21 April 2025. She does well at school, loves drawing, is sociable and cheerful. But going on is getting harder for her every day. She has 4th-degree scoliosis, which constantly causes pain and discomfort. She cannot sit through 6 lessons at school; it is hard for her to walk for long. For a long time Ira wore a support corset, but recently the curvature has increased greatly,and a large hump has appeared on her back. It presses on her internal organs. 
It might seem that many people live with scoliosis and it is nothing terrible. Only if it is not this severe and you can still walk. Ira’s childhood dreams are to live without pain and lead an active life. To enter university and get a profession. In the future to marry and have children. But for now all this is out of reach for Irochka, because first of all the girl needs an expensive operation to restore the normal position of her spine. The problem is that the operation is very expensive and complex. The family has no money. Ira’s father was in a car accident last year, spent a month in intensive care and took a long time to recover. Now it is even harder for him to help his daughter. 
We ask everyone who cares to respond and help Ira. May God grant health to all!
Yours sincerely, mother, father and elder sister Inna.
