Uncertainty inside. 2

UPD: unfortunately, Valeria died. The disease was stronger. The UBB team brings our sincere words of condolences to the woman's family and thanks to everyone who supported Valeria. Valeria was losing weight every day. In her 33 years of age, she weighed only 37 kg at a height of 162 cm. An unknown illness was eating her from the inside. In the spring of this year, thanks to your help at UBB, we collected funds and paid for Valeria Gutnik’s diagnostics at a Turkish clinic. Valeria's state impressed even the most experienced doctors. To the MedikalPark clinic, the woman was brought from the airport by a special medical car. She was helped get out and the doctors saw a gray-white exhausted, as after a long hunger, woman with a blown abdomen and burning eyes.

Valeria is ill for more than six years. She visited many doctors in the hope of establishing a diagnosis and getting adequate treatment! She had heard dozens of new versions and diagnoses: she was treated for Crohn's disease, which was then not confirmed, myelodysplastic syndrome, idiomatic myelofibrosis, autoimmune hepatitis. Everything was fruitless. Valerian's condition deteriorated with each passing day: abrupt weight loss, constant sharp abdominal pain. Valeria could not pass even 50 meters without the help.

For the sake of her children, she decided to seek medical assistance abroad, and with our help came for an examination in Istanbul, the MedicalPark clinic. Having seen the critical state of Valeria, doctors insisted on urgent hospitalization and surgery. Delay could have led to death. Valeria survived 5 operations (doctors pumped fluid from her abdominal cavity, removed part of the damaged bowel, removed thrombi, made histology, many genetic tests). Finally, the diagnosis was established: ascites, tuberculosis of the abdominal cavity, thrombosis of the portal vein.

After the 4-month treatment in July Valeria returned to Ukraine for recovery. However, the debt for treatment is $ 56,500. Now she has a special diet: she has already gained 3 kg and weighs 40 kg. She needs to develop deformed muscles.

A month later, Valeria needs to fly for a control check; however, there is no money to pay for debt and further medical observation.
Valeria is the mother of two children she brings up on her own: a 14-year-old son Valera and a 9-year-old daughter, Lisa.
We ask to help collect 600 000 UAH.

This project was canceled, the amount collected is 16409,05 UAH. The funds were disposed of in accordance with the Rules, Principles, and Procedures of the Ukrainian Philanthropic Marketplace (UBB) International Charitable Fund and the decisions of the Project Donors.
