This is our little hero! Unfortunately, the young traveler and dreamer came to this world not only with a thirst for new discoveries but also with a life-threatening heart disease.

The heart of the smiling and cheerful Maksim is in grave danger. Only we together are able to prevent the inevitable and to give the boy a chance to live! Looking at Maxim, you understand that travelers do not just become suddenly, without reason. Real travelers are already born with a kind of unquenchable twinkle of curiosity in their souls, which pushes them forward and calls them for adventure. This is our little hero! Unfortunately, the young traveler and dreamer came to this world not only with a thirst for new discoveries but also with a life-threatening heart disease. 

With every year of his life, the arterial (Bottalo's) duct that has not closed after birth, brings more and more health problems to the boy and, if nothing is done, will inevitably lead to a sad ending. To save the young dreamer and give him a chance to forget about constant listening to the rapid, and sometimes painful blows of a small but such a brave heart, it is necessary to perform a surgery to close the open arterial duct with the endovascular system of Nit Occlud PDA.

To perform this operation, an occluder must be purchased - this is a medical device that plays the role of a kind of "patch" which having eliminated the defect will return Maxim to a full life. The cost of such a device is (64 093 UAN). Needless to say that for the most ordinary family from the tiny village of Samara-Orekhovy of the Volyn region it is an unthinkable amount of money that they simply cannot collect on their own. The Maksim's family that also brings up his older sister lives only at the expense of their household and a little help from grandparents.

The relatives of the future traveler and himself hope for the help of kind and sympathetic hearts! Let's make a miracle and help a brave dreamer craving for traveling, discoveries and amazing countries "fix" his brave heart and let him find out "where the horizon ends and what's behind it".
