When Arinochka is at home, she plays the guitar, knits or learns something new. 

Arina has already had 18 injections of Humira. Doctors say that treatment may last a year, or even two years.

In 2014, six-year-old Arina saw rockets destroying Donetsk airport from her window. Long-term work with a psychologist after moving to Pavlohrad helped to lessen the impact of traumatic memories. In 2022, Arina's panic attacks returned. And in 2024, she suddenly developed intestinal bleeding. After examinations, she was diagnosed with Crohn's disease.

Arina was prescribed Humira, a cutting-edge drug for treating Crohn's disease that stops the immune system from attacking the cells of the intestine. A vial of the drug costing 16,500 hryvnia must be administered every month. To achieve sustained remission, treatment will last 1-2 years.

Crohn's disease has led to a deficiency of nutrients, vitamins and minerals, creating a favourable environment for damage to large joints. Arina was prescribed special diets Nutrini and Fortini.

Kateryna is raising her daughter alone; Arina's father died in an accident in 2013. She cannot afford to buy the vital medication and special formula for her daughter on her own.

In order to provide Arina with medication and special nutrition for six months, it is necessary to raise an unattainable amount for the family. Friends, please let's support this girl together! Every hryvnia you donate is a step towards stable remission and a life without pain!
