Maxim Kolotilo

I’m Maxim Kolotilo, I’m 13 years old. I live in Ukraine in the city of Nikolaev.
I love my life, my family and my dog.
I have a lot of friends, we like to play football and other games.
I love swimming and I do karate.
BUT…..On August 5, 2022, my life changed.
During the military operations in our city between Russia and Ukraine, a shell exploded next to us. I didn’t feel the pain right away because I was looking at my dad who was lying next to me and I had only one thought – Whether he was alive or not!!! I love him very much and didn’t want him to leave us!!
Dad had broken both legs, but he was alive.

When the ambulance arrived, I lost consciousness and woke up in the hospital, it turned out that I got a lot of shrapnel and I have serious problems. I had open wounds to my lungs and head, fractured ribs and a ruptured bladder.

Doctors in Ukraine cannot cope with all the problems and for fragments in the body and are afraid to carry out full-fledged treatment. In Israel, they agreed to take me for treatment and I would like to ask you to help me……we don’t have money for treatment, but I want to live. The cost of treatment is not fully understood, since we cannot conduct an examination and it can be very expensive!!
Please help me…
