Save Diana's heart

I want to appeal to all caring people! My name is Diana Bondarenko, I'm 17 years old. And I have a congenital heart disease - aortic coarctation. When I was just one month, I had operation. The surgery was successful, although it continued on open heart almost 8 hourst and today about it reminds me of a big scar across my back ...

Every two years, my mother and I went to Kiev in M.Amosova's Institute and were examined and it was relatively good. But during the last survey in March 2016, we reported the sad news that I need to be sure to do the surgery - aortic stenting. The surgeon told us that now have great progressive methods and technologies of such an operation, but it is expensive. The trouble is that the mother brings me alone, working on the state, where a small salary, Dad threw our family for more than 10 years ago, does not communicate with us and we did not quite help.

I have a dream to become a manager in one of the leisure complex in our scenic Carpathian invite and create a comfortable and affordable recreation facilities for tourists, both foreigners and our citizens from all over Ukraine. If I will realize my dream, I will invite  doctors and the people who saved my life .Also I want to help animals and sick children. In addition, since the childhood  I was fond of football, although I can not play the most. In 2014 alone I wrote an article "Football eyes of children" in the "Reporter"  newspaper for which I was awarded a diploma as the winner of the creative works of school tournament.
Our family  collected about 20 000 UAH, but these funds are not enought for the operation. Therefore, with great appeal request to the indifferent people, who have the opportunity, help me to collect the necessary sum of money for the operation. I want to be healthier, successfully complete college and realize my dreams in life !!!
