Nadia Is There!

This tiny girl easily fits on two men’s palms. Nadia is only 10 days old and she needs urgent surgery. That’s because in her entire back she has a terrible wound. This is an inborn defect that is simply called hernia. She has to be removed surgically as soon as possible. But parents do not have enough money to buy everything that is necessary. 

On the sixth month of pregnancy, the doctors recommended mother to get rid of the fetus. But how she could get rid of her little girl that was already moving close to her heart. At the same time, her father got into a hospital with severe lung disease and to that day stayed there.

After birth, Nadia was transferred to the local department of neurosurgery. The doctors immediately sent the girl to the Institute of Neurosurgery. The mom had only one day to gather her things and see her daughters, they had five more daughters in the family. Now Nadia is in the hospital and needs an urgent surgery. If an open wound will get infected, there will be complications or even worse. Let’s save Little Nadia!
