Nastia Boratynska helps Nastia Boiko

We collected money to buy the occluder and save the heart of Nastia Baratynska, but during surgery, it turned out that the size of heart disease girls are less than 1 mm, so the doctors decided to abandon the surgery. Now, this occluder will help Nastia Boiko, who also needs heart surgery.

This operation is performed without thorax section, takes place without stopping the heart and a deep anesthesia. In three days the healthy child can leave the hospital. In this operation, there is only one shortcoming it is its cost. In Ukraine, such operation is inaccessible for many families. 

A letter from mom girls:
"My younger daughter Nastia was born with a congenital heart defect. Doctors did not insist on a survey, they say, with time everything will pass and heal itself. But recently I began to notice that my daughter appeared short of breath, the girl began sweating very badly, especially during sleep, she stopped gaining weight. I decided to go to Kiev to a pediatric cardiologist. We were given a direction in OHMATDYT, where we did an ultrasound and found the perimembranous ventricular septal defect and suggested surgical treatment. This operation is the method of opening the chest, stopping the heart and then the child still has a scar for life and psychological trauma.

Then I heard that it is possible to do the surgery with endovascular surgery, but you need to buy an implant, which costs a lot of money. We live in the village, I have two daughters: 15 and 3 years old. I'm a single mother, relatives or friends who could help, I have not. My income is social assistance to single mothers and the household (garden, cow, smoke) is anything that helps us to live. So I can't collect the necessary sum for the operation.

If there is at least a little hope to help my child, I want to use it and we appeal to all indifferent people to help save the heart of my little girl!

With hope and respect
Yulia Boiko".
