Save the heart of Dasha Dashevskaya

Little girl Dasha needs help. Dasha has congenital heart disease and urgently needs an operation to eliminate the defect with the help of a heart implant. The baby has a large hole in the heart and in the age of modern technology it can be removed in a matter of hours, without a cut in the chest. And such an endovascular operation will be done for free at the Amosov Institute. It is necessary to purchase only the cardiac implant itself (occluder), on which the single mom has no funds. To save her daughter, she is forced to ask for help from all concerned people who care about children. We ask you not to pass by and help little Dasha to be healthy!

Since birth, Dashuly was an absolutely healthy child. The first time she got a cold at 11 months, then she became sick more and more often. For two years, Dasha went to kindergarten and colds were accompanied by a cough. At 2 years old, the first time the baby was hospitalized with right-sided pneumonia. The following year, the situation repeated with the same diagnosis. And here is the year 2019. For the third year in a row, Dashuly was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and this time with bilateral.

Doctors were very worried about the private complications of Dashuli and sent immediately for examination to the Amosov Institute. Very often, heart disease weakens the child’s immunity so much that private diseases with complications become the norm for the patient. In Amosova, my mother heard a diagnosis. It was like a bolt from the blue. All explanations related to weak immunity could be accepted. But a vice of the heart! The hole in the heart is almost 3 cm!

Dasha needs heart surgery. Urgent, since all the complications on the body are very dangerous. But to buy an implant to correct the defect, Dasha's mother simply does not have the means. The cost of the implant is almost 80 000 UAH. For a single mom, this is an unbearable amount.

Let's save Dasha’s heart together and give her a chance for a full and healthy life!
