Save Danilko`s heart

8 years boy, Danila Chumak is in urgent need of special device – occluder. This device allows to fix the atrial septal defect. Device is pretty expensive, and unfortunately the funds of the government are not available for everyone. A lot of families have to cover the price of the occluder by themselves. So the best treatment option for the boy – occluder is not affordable for his family.

From Danila's birth he has a congenital abnormal development of the cervical spinal cord accompanied by violation of locomotor function. Unfortunately this illness is incurable. Recently congenital heart disease was found – the atrial septal defect. Little boy is in urgent need of percutaneous atrial septal defect closure. The traditional surgical treatment is not recommended for our little patient with such serious cord disease because of the high risk of complications caused by cardiopulmonary bypass. The main purpose of this project is collecting the funds for the cost of the occluder.

Danila is debonair, cheerful, kind and sensual boy. He is easy-going, sociable and curious kid. He loves mathematic and physical training but unfortunately he's disable to attend it. Danila attends special rehabilitation center “Ray” for his spinal cord recovering. Also Dania’s parents spend plenty of money on special back massage. The both parents are on partial time employment, thy do not have permanent working please and stable income.

The Chumak Family are asking everyone who are sensual and not indifferent for their trouble to help and do not lose the only chance to fix the heart of the lovely son.
