I will get well and come back

"Mom, why is grandma crying? I will get well and come back…", says 3-year-old Dasha. The little girl does not know that her disease is very-very serious. Dash has an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the brain. The vessels may break at any time. The part of this defect was eliminated by the surgeons but they couldn’t do everything during one operation. Now Dasha needs one more surgery. The girl’s mother cannot afford to buy everything that is required any more, that’s why she asks for a helping hand.

Dasha is a cheerful and spontaneous girl who is not ashamed to tell a poem or to sing a song. Dasha is so active like a small volcano that explodes. However, excessive excitement is not allowed for her. She was diagnosed with inborn AVM. At first the doctors just examined her and put her under supervision. When the neoplasm increased, a surgery was recommended. The family found money for the first stage of treatment. Now Dasha needs another surgery but her mom cannot buy everything necessary.
