Help Thumbelina become a regular girl. 3

Today Alina is already 14 and half years old and she has grown to 138 cm. For one year this flower-sized girl is growing with your help, because her body could not grow itself due to nanism, and the state does not provide her with complete package of special medicines. Diphereline is the medicinal product that helps. Whether Alina will be on equal terms with the children of the same age, when she is an adult, is being decided now. If financial support is found, she will be. Whilst at home her grandmother has a severe illness too. Alina’s parents are torn between two family members, cause it is important to help every of them.

Whose life is more valuable: the life of a girl or her granny? Let it be no need for them to choose. This time we need to buy a new store of medicines for Alina for the next 6 months. The last therapy scheme is approved, it is effective, and so we can continue to help. A little bit more than one thousand and a half hryvnyas per month is not a big sum of money. If only it will be the only expenses. There is also a need for regular examinations, medicines for the granny and same daily expenses as we all have. And if one sum up all these, the amount is bigger than Alina’s parents can earn themselves.
We also ask for help to pay for a store of adult diapers and washable cloth napkins for the grandmother. This will not help her to recover, but will ease the life of those who care and retain the dignity of a sick person for this period of time. And will add a bit of warmth. Cause to know that somebody – somebody you don’t even know – sent you a bit of one’s compassion and help is a great support for a soul.
Let us impart our warmth to this family, support them with our friendly hands, words of encouragement and real help.
