Help for the girl Varvara

Recently, 7-year-old Varvara from Kharkiv was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus with a high risk for life, a severe form. It was like a bolt from the blue for the family. Everything happened so fast that the only questions in their minds were how and why? A month before, the girl had started drinking more water, and there was no reason to worry. Her mother decided that her daughter needed to have blood tests. The results were above normal, and the next day Varvara was hospitalized in the intensive care unit with a blood sugar reading of 26.

Life stopped for a moment... Why? Why this little angel, a baby who had not yet known the whole of life... Until the last moment, the parents did not realize that this was a lifelong illness, that it was an incurable disease. This is how a new stage of life began – life with diabetes, constant monitoring of sugar levels (15-20 times a day and night), carbohydrate counting, and activity choices. Now Varya has moved to the second grade and is studying hard.

The girl loves to draw, swim, and loves cats and takes care of them. Like all children, she wants to be healthy and cheerful. And this is possible thanks to the sensor, which is designed for 14 days of operation, and the insulin pump (a convenient and effective device that automatically injects insulin, freeing people from painful injections). That's why the girl's mother is asking for help in purchasing them.

Help the girl live pain-free and reduce her health risks. The family lives under constant shelling in Kharkiv, they lost their business at the beginning of the full-scale invasion and cannot cope with all the financial expenses and purchase the sensors and insulin pump and its consumables on their own. The family is asking for help in raising funds to provide Varyusha with FreeStyle Libre sensors for 6 months and a 720G Medtronic MiniMed MMT-1859WWA insulin pump.
