Help Lidiia grow!

Lidiia from Dnipro is 12 years old, and her weight is only 19.5 kg. To grow and gain strength, the girl needs special nutrition Resource Junior. The family is asking for our support, as their resources are already exhausted.

At birth, Lida experienced oxygen deprivation due to the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. She spent 17 days in a coma and a week on a ventilator. Seizures began, and later doctors discovered sepsis. The child received a blood transfusion and was prescribed antibiotic treatment.

Daria taught her daughter to drink from a bottle nipple – this made it possible to stop using the feeding tube. At first, Lidiia was fed the Friso formula, but due to slow weight gain it was replaced with Resource Junior. This balanced nutrition contains all the vitamins and microelements necessary for a child’s body. One can of the formula costs about UAH 713, and 15 cans are needed per month.

Lida has severe damage to the central nervous system, and her development is delayed. She can hold her head for a short time, sit with support, and follow objects. Lida responds to intonation, recognizes her loved ones, and reacts to their presence.

Due to damage to the optic nerve, the girl can see only the silhouettes of objects and and can distinguish bright light. However, her hearing is heightened: any loud or sudden sounds, crying, or children’s screams can frighten her greatly and may even trigger an epileptic seizure.

Lidiia also has sleep problems: she falls asleep with great difficulty, sometimes it takes up to eight hours. During the day the girl sleeps, and at night she does not. The family has already adapted to this rhythm. When Lida’s sleep improves a little, it is a real relief for her relatives. Lida’s smile brings joy to everyone at home.

To provide Lida with special dietary food for six months, we need to raise funds. Let’s support Lida together! Every hryvnia you donate is a chance for her to eat properly and gain weight!
