Save Daria's heart

8-year-old Dasha is in urgent need of percutaneous congenital heart disease – atrial septal defect, that can be cured using occluder. About horrible disease Dasha's mother found out by accident. At the age of two months Dasha's pediatrician heard a heart murmur. In 2014 little girl started complaining on a pain in her heart, she got tired pretty fast, than shortness of breath appeared.

Doctors advise to do percutaneous repair of the atrial septal defect as quick as possible. The defect had been misdiagnosed in the childhood. It's pretty big, it seems to enlarged with the growth and makes itself felt. The aim of the project is to help the poor family to collect funds for expensive occlude and give a chance to the little heart to be healthy!

The letter from mother: "My name is Vita Nepomniashcha". My daughter was diagnosed with atrial septal defect and now she is in urgent need of of percutaneous congenital heart repair with occluder. This septal occluder is too expensive and it's unaffordable for our family. We please everyone who cares to help to cure a little heart of my daughter!!!!

Dasha's father disappeared when my little treasure was born. I have never seen him since that time. In 2012 I got married second time. I found the new loving father for my Dasha. In 2013 Dasha's younger sister Alina was born. Dasha loves her sister very much. She is very kind and active child, she loves dancing and swimming. But now she can’t do favorite things because of her illness.

My new husband is officially unemployed. But now he works unofficially on a construction of the female convent in Kryvyi Rih. His job is hard and low rates and his salary couldn't be more than 2 000 UAH. I am in maternity leave. We have nobody to help us. My husband is an orphan. I have just my old mother who tries to help as much as she can. I pleased volunteers from our town to help to collect the funds for my Dasha. They collected just 6 000 UAH. It's not enough. 87 625 UAH left to collect.

I beg everyone! Help us to collect funds for occluder for Dasha! Give her a chance to live a longe and valuable life! Don't let my daughter to feel her heart! 

Huge thank You in advance!
