How it: not to strangle? 3

The major part of the treatment consists in inhalations. A dozen or two every day, and day after day, throughout Nastya's life. This is the only way to get rid of the thick sputum in the lungs and cope with the infections. And breathe. This is what Nastya knows since infancy. Of course, sometimes she protests, tries to outwit the parents or bargains, "Mummy, I'll take the inhaler if you let me watch the cartoons!" But she knows that the treatment is absolutely necessary. She only doesn't know how difficult it is for her mother to find the money for everything. And how terrible it is not to find it...

Little Nastya has cystic fibrosis. Nobody can cure this disease completely. But we can raise the money to buy a good inhaler for the girl. The inhalation procedures will take a shorter time, and the treatment will become much more efficient. And another thing we can provide is a sufficient amount of antibiotics. There is a serious infection in Nastya's lungs: Pseudomonas aeruginosa. To cope with it, Nastya should get Colistin inhalations for 3 months. The treatment should be started as soon as possible: every day's delay is a step forward for the illness. The bacteria destroy the lungs, exhaust the entire organism, cause fever and weakness. Timely medicinal treatment is absolutely necessary to prevent the infection from destroying the organism. Nastya is just a small kid, and there is so much awaiting her in the future! After she gets better after the treatment, she will do rhythmic gymnastics, and so far she can dance at home, hug her cat and the neighbors' dog, and feed the swans in the park together with her dad. These swans have their own children now, tiny cygnets, and Nastya feeds them. She always wants to take care of somebody who is smaller and weaker than herself.

And we must take care of Nastya. Her parents are trying hard, but they cannot cope on their own. The treatment is very expensive, and it is not just some accidental problem, it is something lifelong, day after day. Please help us buy the drugs as soon as possible. Nastya hasn't much time to wait.
