Vladimir Putin promised to fulfill dream of Arslan Kaipkulov from Bashkiria

UFA, 10 December 2018. /Bashinform News Agency, Gulfiya Akulova/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/. Vladimir Putin will fulfill the dream of a 15-year-old Arslan Kaipkulov from the city of Sibay.

The teenager has an unusual and complex disease - a primary immunodeficiency of a rare type, with the immune system disorder when tumors, including malignant ones, appear in the body. Arslan is the first child in Russia with such a disorder. The medication costing 250 thousand rubles helps to maintain the immune system. The mother of Arslan Venera through the court actions has ensured that the state provided the medication free of charge but only until the end of the year. It is not known whether the drug will be granted to the patient in the next 2019.

Arslan goes to school though with difficulty, studies in the 9th grade. He is fond of English, social studies, videography and everything related to aviation. His dream is to fly on the presidential plane IL-96-300 and make a TV spot about it. He and his mother sent such an application to the «Dream With Me» charity project, which helps to fulfill the dreams of children with a state of health that threatens their lives.

On December 5, at the stand in the Arena-CSKA complex, it was an envelope with Arslan’s note that fell into the hands of the country's president. Vladimir Putin promised to realize the cherished desire of the young resident of Bashkiria.

“We learned about everything from the call of the organizers,” Venera Kaipkulova told the Bashinform News Agency. “We were told that everything is being prepared, since Vladimir Putin had promised to fulfill all his dreams before the New Year. On December 24, we will fly to Moscow for the planned rehabilitation”.

The “Dream With Me” project is included in the “Russia is a Country of Opportunities” campaign, which was launched at the World Youth and Students Festival in Sochi in October 2017 on the initiative of the President of the Russian Federation. Currently, more than 30 cherished children's desires have been fulfilled.
