Sunny thumberlina girl. 2

Dear donors, you have already helped Ania Ishchenko, a sunny girl, the Thumbelina. The child has weight deficit of II-III degree. At the age of 9.5, she weighed only 10.4 (!) kg, when the norm is 27-35 kg. She is the third child in the family, was born with Down's syndrome, with the cardiac malformation. However, the main and biggest problem is the celiac disease, when the body does not absorb gluten, which is present in almost a third of all the products!

She constantly wants to eat, but eating, she loses weight, as usual food is not only not digestible, but also destroys the intestines, absorption of nutrients does not occur. There are also numerous problems associated with this - the child‘s growth slows down, mental and physical development arrested due to lack of calcium, bone tissue is softened, and bones become brittle. She cannot drink from a cup, only from a spoon or a bottle with a nipple, she cannot chew food, so she eats everything in a liquid form only. Basically, she eats only clinical therapeutic mixture the resource, Junior.

Very often, she has acute respiratory viral infections, in which she is very dehydrated because she cannot drink. Usually, a secondary infection accompanies this, and the child gets into the hospital. Every month, colitis becomes more acute. At the same time, she has severe abdominal pain, and Anna practically does not climb off her mother's hands, constantly cries. Nevertheless, despite her serious condition, this year she graduated from the 1st class of homeschooling, on the correctional program. Ania is a creative person, she loves to draw and sculpt.

The main treatment for celiac disease is a diet, with the absolute exclusion of all gluten products. But gluten-free products are expensive. The girl is also in need of medical treatment and hygiene products. Anna from a large family, from a small village. Her mother works as a librarian at school, her father is looking for a part-time job. All the money are spent on the treatment of a sick daughter. We ask you to support this family, they cannot cope and they need your help very much!
