Save Anfisa's heart!

I am Anfisa. Now I'm 13 years old. Since 4 years I was engaged in gymnastics, volleyball then I shudder to think that if you do not deal with time I can not play sports. With this diagnosis (congenital heart defect, ductus arteriosus) there is some risk of complications associated with this disease: bacterial endocarditis (dangerous infectious disease characterized by violation of the heart valves and the high risk of complications), heart failure is.

Anything can happen to me if I don't take timely treatment. This operation do doctors recommend 3-5 years, but I learned about the diagnosis only this summer, while collecting medical certificates for travel to the children's camp. All doctors insist on surgery. Doctors described the operation does not require opening the chest. This operation is carried out free of charge, but unfortunately the implant costs 30 281 UAH.

I understand how I take care of my mother, sometimes in the evening in the kitchen I see her eyes filled with tears, but she tries to view all hidden. Even my father, who always defended me, cannot help me now since he had already retired. Despite his age he is - has retired since being very young, fearless saved Ukraine from the Chernobyl disaster. I feel horrible feeling when you understand them as I sorry but I cannot help anything, and therefore appeal to you. Yes, sometimes life puts obstacles, but together, I am confident to overcome them easily.

I have a goal in life, which I really want to achieve. I dream of becoming a psychologist and family to help couples and everyone who needs it. That would never have destroyed the family, as it happened with our family.
