Let’s save the only daughter!

Katia is the only daughter in the family. At the age of four months, the girl had a severe condition, which was meningitis, which later turned into hydrocephalus. She had a shunt installed so that the cerebrospinal fluid would not put pressure on the brain – and the baby could live and develop fully.

Now Katia is 14 years old. She has an incredibly sensitive heart and many hobbies: from dancing to photography. It would seem that her life could continue to be so diverse and carefree. However, the disease reminded itself again: the shunt, installed 14 years ago, needs urgent replacement, and Katia’s whole life depends on it.

The cost of the cerebrospinal fluid shunt system is 46,000 UAH, and there are additional expenses on medicines every day. Let’s help Katia live a fulfilling life – she only dreams of it now.
