For Zlata to Live

Little Zlata is just 1 year old, she has huge beautiful eyes, long eyelashes and golden hair. But she feels bad… The girl has a headache, is anxious, is constantly crying and does not let her granny leave her even for an instance. In a year and a half Zlata underwent five surgeries. Now the neurosurgeons plan one more surgery and they it will be the last one. The girl’s family cannot buy all the necessary things for the operation, that’s why they ask for help. Let’s help this little girl win over the disease!

The doctors informed that Zlata would have health problems when her mother was on the 8th month of pregnancy. The girl was born with a brain malformation. She had cysts in the head. That’s why the neurosurgeons treated Zlata from her birth. At first the doctors from Uzhgorod operated on her. After the first surgery Zlata had brain hemorrhage and became paralyzed. It took her two months to recover. Then she was operated on again and again… After a long treatment the girl was sent to the Institute of Neurosurgery. There the doctors scheduled an operation and prescribed preoperative treatment.

The family has to buy all the medicines and materials required for the surgery because they are not available at the hospital. However, a long period of treatment exhausted the family financial resources and they cannot cope on their own, that’s why they ask for help.
