Let's give Nestor a breath!

Nestor is 13-year-old boy dreaming about running with his friends, ride a bike, feel like everyone else. But this is impossible because of a disease. Nestor has pulmonary hypertension, a rare, incurable progressive disease that prevents the child from fully breathing. Its difficult for Nestor to walk as he feels shortness of breath. Although the boy began receiving medications that partly restrain the development of the disease, improve the quality and prolong the longevity of life, this is not enough.

The boy also needs oxygen therapy to help the body to get more oxygen and to develop accordingly. Such vitally necessary therapy can be provided by an oxygen concentrator. The cost of the device is about 27 thousand UAH. Nestor has been suffering since birth. At the age of seven months, he had a heart operation, but the defect was not corrected completely. In childhood, he was sick very often. It was difficult to study at school. Because of frequent health problems, the boy missed classes. Mother sometimes had to bring Nestor to school in her arms, because he could not walk up by himself. Now Nestor is studying at home.

For someone to breathe in full breasts - it's routine and imperceptible. And for Nestor it is a dream. Since early childhood he lives as if "with a plastic bag on his head." Let's together help Nestor to feel the good of this world!
