Grow up, Nastia!

"I always knew that I would name my daughter Nastya as the heroine of many fairy tales", said a mother of this little girl. She was confident from the first day of pregnancy that she would have a girl. When Anastasia was born, her parents were very happy! Her big brother Nazar was most happy.

"I always knew that I would name my daughter Nastya as the heroine of many fairy tales", said a mother of this little girl. She was confident from the first day of pregnancy that she would have a girl. When Anastasia was born, her parents were very happy! Her big brother Nazar was most happy.

But very soon it became clear that something was wrong with the child. Nastia had frequent bronchitis and pneumonia, treatment did not help. The girl stopped gaining weight, and her skin began to turn blue from hypoxia. The survey weeks and genetic tests confirmed the diagnosis of a baby – cystic fibrosis. What is it? After reading on the Internet that such children do not live long, parents despaired of grief. But the baby, getting the necessary treatment, began to feel much better and develop according to age.

The girl's illness taught her relatives to appreciate each other more and enjoy each day. The life of the five-year-old Nastya is not only hospitals, droppers, medications, and inhalations. These are endless games, cartoons, sweets, princesses, beautiful clothes, dolls, cats, puppies, broken knees, fairy tales. All that is in a happy childhood.

To ensure that Nastina's tale does not end, she needs help. Namely, a special therapeutic diet Nestle Resource Junior. Without it, Nastia does not grow at all, often ill and lags behind in physical development from peers (the weight of the child is only 14 kg). If we miss the moment, then the prognosis of the disease becomes sharply negative.

The price of health and future of Nastia is 14 911 UAH. It is the cost of a course of nutrition for six months. Quite a small sum for all together, but great for a family that brings up a special child. After all, her mother does not have the opportunity to work, because the girl needs special care, and her father was forced to go abroad to work, to provide the daughter with expensive medications.
