A serious illness destroys life

Pensioner Zoya Fedorovna is in a very difficult situation. A severe organ disease called acromegaly affects the functioning of all her organs. This disease destroys bones and muscles, creates regular problems with the gastrointestinal tract. The woman has constant headaches, and her arms can barely lift. But Zoya Fedorivna bravely endures everything because she has a daughter with Down's disease who needs constant supervision. Her husband is a pensioner who also has a disability. No one would wish for a fate like this woman has at the age of 63.

This incredible woman worked all her life without rest or breaks until she retired. Now she is ashamed of herself for exhausting her body. She worked for the sake of people. First as an accountant in the village council, then as a village head. Now she receives a pension of three thousand hryvnias. Of course, it is impossible to live and be treated on money, even in the village.

In her life, Zoya Fedorivna has undergone surgery to remove a tumor in her brain and three intestinal surgeries. She constantly takes stimulant medications for her heart, blood pressure, intestines, and thyroid. But her main illness, which causes so much trouble for her, can be treated by taking the drug Somavert, which costs more than 90 thousand UAH per pack. Although there is a law on free treatment of patients with acromegaly, Zoya Fedorovna has not been able to get this medicine for free for 2 years. All the family's savings have been exhausted. The woman is asking for help.
