Help Angelina to live

Angelina grows up in a big family, has many siblings, but only she is unlucky to inherit a severe genetic disease from her parents – cystic fibrosis. The parents were only carriers of the scary genes and didn't even realize it, because the carrier had no symptoms. The children were born one after another, all of them were healthy, lived modestly and amicably, were engaged in farming in the countryside. Only Angelina became very often ill, was of little height and weight… 

Therapy of cystic fibrosis is a whole system, complicated and expensive, andlasts the whole life. And right now it is necessary to buy for the girl medical equipment, which is critically necessary for daily treatment.

Due to cystic fibrosis the whole organism doesn’t work properly, many internal organs are damaged and their work is deformed. The respiratory system is most strongly affected. A DNA malfunction causes lung sputum to have a high viscosity, which means it makes it harder to cough. Unlike a healthy person, a cystic fibrosis patient needs to perform special exercises anda series of inhalations every day just to clear the lungs and breathe. Only very high quality inhalers can work in a mode that is suitable for the treatment of cystic fibrosis.

We plan to purchase a special inhaler Pari Turbo with a set of consumables for it, a respiratory trainer and a sterilizer that will help to fight infections – constant companions of cystic fibrosis.
