The doctors who treated her said that she was a strong and a wonderful girl, but she had to battle so many health problems at a very young age. Anna just celebrated her eighth birthday last month, but who knew the little princess would leave the earth so soon. Her mother Ivanna said that she would sacrifice anything to make her daughter healthy, but unfortunately her prayers did not work.
Timofey Nagorny, head of the foundation of Ukrainian volunteers, which supported the child's treatment said, "Her only dream was to discover that the doctor's diagnosis was wrong.”
The regional medical complex, which treated Anna from childhood, mourned her death.
