Let's give Svitlana a chance to recover! 3

Not so often someone is lucky to have a twin, but Natalya Melnyk from the Rivne region, she has been lucky twice – and she's the mother of four good twin daughters. However, the smallest – Svitlanka – now very hard, because the girl has a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Right after birth, after the cesarean section, the baby got into the intensive care unit. And when the little Svitlanka was transferred to the maternity hospital, the girl spent in convulsions and under the apparatus of artificial ventilation of the lungs for 5 days. She again had to get to resuscitation already in the regional clinic... However, all the indicators there came to the norm, and Svitlana, for the joy of her mother, began to breathe and drink from her bottle alone...

Not so often someone is lucky to have a twin, but Natalya Melnyk from the Rivne region, she has been lucky twice – and she's the mother of four good twin daughters. However, the smallest – Svitlanka – now very hard, because the girl has a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Right after birth, after the cesarean section, the baby got into the intensive care unit. And when the little Svitlanka was transferred to the maternity hospital, the girl spent in convulsions and under the apparatus of artificial ventilation of the lungs for 5 days. She again had to get to resuscitation already in the regional clinic... However, all the indicators there came to the norm, and Svitlana, for the joy of her mother, began to breathe and drink from her bottle alone...

However, the days spent in resuscitation, have not gone so easy... After the discharge to home, a struggle for the full life began. During her 6 years of life, the girl has experienced more than three dozen rehabilitation treatment courses in various Ukrainian cities: Rivne, Kyiv, Khmelnytsky, Truskavets. And each course gave its positive results.

Nowadays, despite the difficult diagnosis, Svitlanka understands that she is told, speaks separate words, even small sentences, smiles. The girls even manage to sit, stand and even take steps, but so far all with support and help. In order for Svitlana Melnyk finally, to do everything that children do at the age of 6, they must undergo systematic rehabilitation and medical treatment. And, of course, it is very expensive. But even the mother of Svitlanka has to fight for the health of their daughter without the support of her husband because he could not stand such a pace of life and left, leaving Natalia with 4 common daughters. Therefore, now all responsibility for their well-being, happiness and health only on her. But Svitlanka's mama like all the mothers believes that her daughter will be healthy and later in the Melnyk family life will go well!

But so far we can help our people to cope with illness and discomfort! To do this, it is worth doing, albeit small, but its contribution is money. After all, every child should have hope for a full life. Moreover, when she fights her for the only support - mom.
