Fill the Sasha's heart of life!

Alexandra is two years old, looking at this smiling girl you will not say, that she has a problem with health. But Sasha has a sick heart and she urgently needed an operation to install inside a heart implant, as she has a congenital heart defect - patent ductus arteriosus.

Since birth, the pediatrician, listened to a heart of child, but recommended to do ultrasound in a year. After the ultrasound at the appointed time, the girl was diagnosed CHD. And recommended to apply to Amosova for confirmation. But the young family could not raise the funds to even come to Kiev, and then the grief that happened in the East of our country.

Only a year later, the family was able to raise funds to come to the examination in Kiev in NISH. Amosova. After careful examination, doctors confirmed the diagnosis and said that unfortunately no surgery defect alone is not closed, and will only increase. Which can further lead to heart failure in a child.The operation is free, but the price is a heart implant shocked the young family - 30 281 USD. This amound they do not gather by themselves. Family has nothing to sell, because they rent house in Bakhmut in the war zone. Mother receives state aid 860 USD per month, is now on maternity leave. Dad a year ago graduated from College and cannot find a permanent job, interrupted by temporary jobs, working either in the field or a loader.

Sasha loves to dance, starts to say their first words, kissing people who she likes ... very scary when this little miracle stops in the middle of the game and with a tired expression resting.
The situation makes appeal to all not indifferent people with the hope that the kindness of your heart will beat little heart Alexandra!
