Help Tanya's family survive the winter

Tanya is 13 years old, her nebulizer is 12 and it can't continue working. And Tanya will not be able to live without daily inhalations. Such conditions are dictated by the disease with which the girl lives from her birth – cystic fibrosis.

The disease is the result of a genetic breakdown that affects the entire body. In particular, the lungs are seriously affected.  Sputum of a person with cystic fibrosis has an increased viscosity and the patient is not able to clear one's throat. You have to do 2-3 sets of inhalations with various drugs every day, as well as special physical exercises, and also take mucolytics either in suspensions or capsules – all in order to clear your lungs and breathe. Every day. If this is not done, the airways will be literally clogged with sputum very quickly and the child will begin to suffocate.

It is often difficult to breathe in the morning – so much sputum is collected during the night. Therefore, inhalation is the first thing a child with cystic fibrosis does when he/she wakes up in the morning. It happens that you need to repeat a set of inhalations and exercises in the afternoon after returning from school. You can't wait until evening, cause it's already uncomfortable to breathe. In short, the nebulizer is a vital device for a child with cystic fibrosis, and its failure is a real disaster.

During 12 years Tanya's nebulizer has already undergone many repairs, but now it has to be noted that repairs don't help any more – the girl needs a new device. And it happened at the most difficult time for the family, when many people have problems with work due to the crisis and quarantine, and Tanya's parents are no exception. Now the question is of whether there will be money for food, let alone for medical treatment. But you can't save on either one or the other. We kindly ask you to help Tanya's family buy the most necessary things for her treatment and survive this difficult winter.
