Mom, I want to live!

Arina is a typical 13-year-old girl from a large family. She dreams of studying, making friends, and enjoying life just like her peers. But her childhood is overshadowed by a serious diagnosis – progressive occlusive hydrocephalus. This is a dangerous condition in which excess fluid accumulates in the brain, putting pressure on vital cells. Without surgery, this pressure will gradually destroy the brain and threaten the girl's life.

Doctors say there is no time to waste. Urgent surgery is needed – external ventricular drainage, followed by another complex operation to install a special shunt system. This will help drain fluid from the brain, save Arina's life, and allow her to grow up without constant danger.

Arina is very brave. Despite her diagnosis, she tries not to lose her optimism, studies, supports her brothers, and dreams of one day becoming a teacher. But today, her future depends on our help.

The necessary supplies for the operations are needed. For a large family, this is an amount that they will never be able to raise on their own. But together, we can do it. Every hryvnia is a step towards a life without pain, towards the opportunity to run with friends in the yard again, read books, and just be a child.

We ask you to help Arina take this decisive step. Your support is not just money, it is a chance to give this girl health and a future.
