Mother's Desperate Plea: Social Media Fundraising for Critically Ill Child

A Belarusian woman, Lana Nuryewa, is using social media to raise funds for the treatment of Marat Dubovsky, who is suffering from a severe illness. As of May 16th, 2025, her live stream has raised 40% of the 1,090,000 USD goal. Nuryewa, a single mother of two, says, "It's very difficult, but we are grateful for every donation." The story highlights the challenges faced by many families in need of expensive medical care and the power of online fundraising. The remaining 60% of the funds are still needed to cover the cost of Marat's treatment.
