7-year-old Sasha needs cardiac surgery

7-year-old Sasha Prytula has congenital heart defect, and she can be saved only via endovascular surgery. In her life she has suffered severe gastric surgery when she was six months, her father's death four months ago, and severe pneumonia. Sasha lives in a large family with a foster sister, two sisters and brother. The girl's, Oleksandra, asks to help her raise funds for occluder to help her daughter avoid complications. Its value is 85 386 UAH, but the single mother doesn't have such amount of money.

From the very beginning of her life Sasha had courage to fight for every breath. The girl was born as a result of 29-hour delivery. From the twins only Sasha could survive. And this fight for her life did not stop. In six months the girl got on the operating table with a diagnosis of volvulus. Although the operation was successful, life of little Sasha became significantly complicated since then.

Frequently SARS led to the fact that in April this year, the girl fell ill from basal pneumonia. Failed to cure disease, but noise in the heart of the doctors did not give peace. At the next ultrasound examination showed Sasha heart defect - a defect in the atrial septum.

It was a blow for the girl and her family. I had to leave the ballet classes, as doctors forbade her any load. Now every beat of the heart in the account.

"Most of all I am afraid when Sasha grabs the heart, and not near valokordin. 3-4 times a week, it just has to drink, and she was only 7 years" - said the girls mother.

Despite her diagnosis, Sasha laughs and enjoys life. It is strong, courageous and good. In exactly like her mother Alexandra. Big heart and incredible fortitude to help not only the women raise families of 4 children but also to educate three-year foster daughter. Alexander took custody of the girl when her biological parents deprived of rights to the child.

The share of Sasha's mother fell many tests: husband died in May 2015 at the same daughter put a terrible diagnosis. But it does not zneviryayetsya not hand down. Sleepless nights spent on the road driving, let the family stay afloat. 14 years Alexander works as a taxi driver and is the main breadwinner in her family. Sasha's mother often gets its passengers from children's clothes, which gives support to the centers. Although the aid take very shy and refuses to last.

Large family lives in a three-room flat state. The state helps children with Alexandra trips to resorts, but this year with the rest did not happen. Smart Mom found a way out - every summer weekend with the children she was chosen the Kiev Sea with tents. Sasha takes the example of mom, so active and full of life as she should still search! Drawing, singing, weaving rezynochyk - the girl will always find what to do. It would be only the possibility ... But the choice is narrowed when the usual need to be healthy is a luxury.

Her life is just beginning. School, new friends, hobbies and first children's heart experiences. And is in our power to make little heart ached from only pleasant worries!
