Summer for Sasha

"He has got into the hospital with a complaint about difficulty breathing through the nose caused by mucous purulent discharge and polyposis, and a dry periodic cough", it became clear that Sasha needs not just a powerful inhaler, but its special model, the only one that helps patients with cystic fibrosis and such complications. Its price is also "special" and is simply not affordable to an average family. Sasha has been living with his illness for already 10 years – from birth – and until now his condition has been quite stable; now the boy needs intensive and proper treatment to get out of exacerbation. 

Sasha has just finished the 5th grade, like all children, he has many plans for the summer, a favorite friend, his bike, waits for the new adventures. But in order for this summer to be fun and useful, the boy needs health. 

Cystic fibrosis is the most common genetic disease among white race people. It affects the whole body and for now, it is considered incurable, although research in the search for medicines continues. Meanwhile, the world has developed a comprehensive system of treatment for cystic fibrosis, which allows to keep it under control and live for a long time. This is a special active and responsible lifestyle with taking a large number of medicines, daily physiotherapy, fighting infections. At the expense of the state and local budgets, patients in Ukraine receive only a part of the necessary, the rest must be provided on their own to survive.

Sasha’s mother requests to buy that special inhaler Pari Sinus with a stock of consumable supplies, a sterilizer and a pulse oximeter for the boy.
