Ksusha is a six-year girl
from Saint Petersburg, Russia. She has a
very severe, hard to cure disease -
aplastic
anemia. Since December 13th, 2005 the girl
has been confined to the blood cancer
chemotherapy department of the Children's
City Hospital № 1 (Saint Petersburg). She is
in the isolation ward together with her
mother. Ksusha cannot leave the ward as the
slightest infection will lead to sepsis and
death. Her bone marrow does not function and
she can only survive on transfusions of
blood components.
