Let's support Nastia's immunity with medicines!

Neutropenia is a reduction in the number of neutrophils in the blood, which protects a person from all sorts of infections, mainly bacterial and fungal infections that enter the body. These cells recognize pathogenic bacteria, absorb and split them, and then perish themselves. It is this diagnosis – the neutropenia – was put to 12-year-old Anastasia Kostomarova from the Dnipro. A mother and daughter went through a very difficult path until the child was diagnosed with a correct diagnosis.

To the age of three years, the diseases of the girl were episodic and proceeded without complications. And then the little girl became often ill: multiple sinusitis, tonsillitis, adenoiditis, which in turn caused complications – the child lost his hearing. But from the spring of 2015, the girl began to often get a sick with an acute respiratory viral infection, later joined by stomatitis, which gave the temperature 40 and painful sores on the mucous in the mouth. But none of the doctors could determine the cause of the frequent illnesses of the child. And when the mother insisted on a detailed analysis of the blood, with results the child was send to the hematologist. Then the neutropenia was diagnosed.

Nastya spent a month in the hospital, conscientiously performed all the procedures, but so necessary cells called "neutrophils" did not appear. Nastya is sent to Okhmadet and hospitalized in the infectious department. Doctors confirmed the diagnosis of Dnepropetrovsk colleagues, that an insufficient number of neutrophils is the root cause of all the ills and diseases of the child. Because off the frequent illness, poor health and weakness, the girl is studed at home. The mother does not give up, continues to fight for her daughter's life. With all her strength she tries to make sure that the child feels like all children. Mother works at Yuzhmash, but often there are delays in paying salaries.

Tetiana alone brings up her daughter, the father could not stand the test, and two years ago her parents divorced. Nastya has an older brother, he is 21 years old, he is a student. Now Nastia is on treatment at Kyiv City Children's Clinical Hospital No.1. The condition of the girl requires the support by colony-stimulating drugs. Nastia needs Neupogen medicine (10 pcs.) for the amount of 15 650 UAH. The mother of the girl is addressed to apply for help to all indifferent people, because it is very difficult for her to cope with the costs associated with the treatment of the daughter.
