This girl has been living with cerebral palsy for 12 years. Diana has a severe form of the disease which is accompanied by exhaustion. The birth of the girl was not easy due to the difficult birth, Diana suffered a clinical death and ended up in intensive care. Being only 6 years old she began to melt… The weight reached 13 kg and did not rise. This condition was accompanied by pain due to bedsores, which began to form on the girl's body. Surveys have shown that the girl's body does not assimilate ordinary food, so Diana must eat a special mixture all her life.

In 2015, the girl and her parents fled to Odesa from the war in eastern part of Ukraine. Already in Odesa, Diana's father decided that this burden was too heavy for him and left. Fortunately, the other man appeared in Diana's life replacing her father. She also got a little sister. Now the family rents an apartment, in which, in addition to two adults, Diana and her younger sister, lives also a grandmother, who is also ill. Unfortunately, both the girl and her grandmother are completely palliative and no one knows how many days left for them on this planet.

Diana's life depends on proper nutrition. Surveys have shown that ordinary food, firstly, does not get absorbed by the girl's body, and secondly, it even causes harm. In order to gain weight and maintain vital activity, the girl needs a special food - the therapeutic mixture "Peptamen Junior". Over the period of 2 weeks when Diana consumed this mixture, her weight began to grow, the pressure sores disappeared and her skin regained a healthy shade.

Unfortunately, the government does not provide such food for ill children. So the costs are meant to be paid by the parents. The monthly cost of such food is 7 000 UAH. Diana's parents are completely exhausted financially and do not have the funds to purchase the mixture. But from eating ordinary food irreparable things can happen.

Therefore, we appeal to all who are not indifferent. Please help us to buy food for Diana for 6 months! The girl can die from lack of food any moment!..
