My name is Vika. I’m sharing my story of triumph with you. In September 2018, I got married. We celebrated the wedding, time passed, and we started thinking about having children. We got tested. My husband’s results were fine. I was diagnosed with chronic viral hepatitis C! Confusion, fear, disappointment, uncertainty—a whole range of feelings and emotions. What should we do? We’d heard that treating hepatitis C requires a lot of money. Where would a young family renting an apartment get that kind of money? Did we really have to give up on our dream of healthy children? Friends advised us to seek help from the “Hepatitis C Winners Club,” where I was accepted without judgment. We are so grateful for the treatment assistance they provided us! The NGO “Second Breath” covered the cost of my pre-treatment diagnostics. The “Hepatitis C Winners Club” provided the medications for treatment free of charge. Yuriy Voynalovich and my infectious disease specialist, Natalia Rudyuk, were always in touch with me and answered all the questions that arose at the beginning and throughout the entire treatment. Just four weeks later, the tests showed that the treatment was successful. After three months—the long-awaited result…
I am healthy!!! Once again, I want to express my sincere gratitude to the team at the “Hepatitis C Winners Club” for their compassion and professionalism. You help people not only get rid of the disease (which everyone fears), but also give them confidence in a future where all our dreams come true. Right now, I am certain of this!!!
