Larisa's nomination story

Larisa's son was diagnosed with cancer. After intensive medical treatments, the boy passed away. This loss triggered Larisa to initiate the creation of a fund "Crab" to help children who have cancer. Along with other parents she helps little kids to overcome this horrible disease. They have organized art-therapy lessons, where kids have a chance to show their talents in art by drawing positive and bright pictures, which symbolize life. Also Larisa organized cooperation with kid's magazines and now all kids have a chance to read interesting stories and participate in special promotions.

Larisa is certain, that the memory of her son, only made her stronger and more willing to help other children, give them hope, and help to save their lives.
