A chance for little hearts

This project was created as part of Vodafone Ukraine's charity program "A Good Deed as a Gift".

Vodafone Ukraine has developed a simple way to get involved in charity: subscribers transfer bonus points from the My Vodafone app to support children in need.

This project involves five children with congenital heart defects. Most of them look completely healthy until something ordinary happens – a cold, a run, physical education. That's when the defect makes itself known, and the price of delay can be very high. The modern solution is endovascular surgery with the installation of a cardiac implant. No incisions, no long recovery. In just a few days, the child can be home. But the cost of an occluder implant ranges from 49,500 to 140,000 hryvnia – an amount that most families simply cannot afford on their own.

Every point transferred is part of the journey to surgery for one of these five children.
