Let's save the heart of the little Sun!

To realize that your child is on the verge of life and death is unthinkably terrible, but it is even more terrible to understand that your efforts are not enough to return this, this beloved little life, from that frightening uncertainty into which she is plunged by a ruthless diagnosis! Nastia, this smiling mother's Little Sun, at the age of three months, was diagnosed with congenital heart disease – a secondary atrial septal defect. Ever since the girl has become a frequent guest in the wards of medical institutions.

To realize that your child is on the verge of life and death is unthinkably terrible, but it is even more terrible to understand that your efforts are not enough to return this, this beloved little life, from that frightening uncertainty into which she is plunged by a ruthless diagnosis! Nastia, this smiling mother's Little Sun, at the age of three months, was diagnosed with congenital heart disease – a secondary atrial septal defect. Ever since the girl has become a frequent guest in the wards of medical institutions.

On March 10, 2017, Nastia and her mother were sent to the Institute of Heart of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, where after a thorough examination, it became clear that the miracle that the mother of the little smiling Sun had so hoped for did not happen. The child's body cannot overgrow the existing defect itself – it is necessary to urgently conduct the surgery, so that the girl survives. In order to save her, it is necessary to do an endovascular closure of the defect with Figulla Flex II ASD occluder, the cost of which is 98 000 hryvna (about US $3 625) for today. 48 000 is left to be raise.

Mum of the Little Sun brings up her daughter herself. Every earned penny goes to the maintenance of the child's health, but is it worth saying that by self-dependent supporting the family Irina cannot even get close to starting to save money for the necessary Nastenka's surgery. That's why she appeals to all of us with a help plea! Let's help mother's smiling Sunny not lose her radiant glow! Let the little hands, so tenderly embracing the mother, do not break from the sudden and irreparable...

Let's give Nastia a chance for a long and happy life!
