Butterfly child: I want to live. 3

Margaryta is 6 years, and for 6 years she has been struggling with a terrible disease that came into the world with her, and does not allow her to live fully. Children such as Margarita are called "butterflies", in medical language their diagnosis is "bullous epidermolysis". This disease is considered incurable, it mercilessly affects human skin, the slightest touch causes wounds.

It's hard to look at, but even harder to live with. And when you look at Margarita, you don't understand why this bright and sweet child deserved such misfortune, such a test for her destiny…

In order to get even a little closer to a full life, the girl constantly needs special bandages, ointments, food, everything to avoid the slightest irritation. So far, Margarita has a lot of wounds on her skin, and she urgently needs medication to deal with them. Unfortunately, all these materials and medicines are extremely expensive, and mother Vita is simply not able to buy it all for her girl herself, they need help.

This is the third time we help for Margaryta. Usually these materials are enough for two or three months, and then again the family need to think about how to survive… Bullous epidermolysis is a rare disease, there are about 200 such people all over Ukraine, but the state does not provide even such a small number of patients with the necessary. And what joy on the girl's face when they receive a transfer with medication, which will be enough for a while. This child at 6 years old does not dream of toys and dolls, but of bandages and ointments that will help her live! Remember, your contributions save lives. Thanks for the support!
