Save the hearts of two children

This project was created and supported by Vodafone Ukraine's charity program "A Good Deed as a Gift".

Two children with heart disease are waiting for your help. Daryna and Zlata urgently need endovascular surgery to correct congenital heart defects. Amosov doctors perform such operations free of charge. But parents need to buy heart implants for the surgery. The families of the children are low-income and cannot afford to buy implants and save their children's lives. Only we, the people who care, can help. Let's save the lives of these wonderful children together.

Daryna Rostyslavivna Khrushch, born on May 19, 2018, from the village of Zymna Voda, Lviv region, has a congenital heart defect – an open arterial duct. The baby was diagnosed with the disease the second day after birth. Doctors hoped that the hole in the heart would close on its own. But during the last examination by a cardiologist, the doctor confirmed that the hole in the heart was 2.5 mm and, unfortunately, surgery was needed to eliminate the defect. Daryna's family does not have the financial means to buy a heart implant on their own. Her mother works as a human resources inspector at a state hospital, and her father lost his job in August.

Zlata Korinitska, born on 25.11.2020 in Ternopil, also has a congenital heart defect – an open arterial duct. Immediately after birth, doctors diagnosed the defect. Later, the diagnosis became more complicated, and as of today, doctors diagnose an enlarged heart opening of 2.1 mm and left atrial enlargement. The child needs endovascular surgery to close the open arterial duct. The parents do not have the financial means to buy the implant, so they turned to the Foundation for help.
