Save Karina's heart!

My daughter from birth was diagnosed congenital heart disease. Until last year we hope that we dont need do make an operation, the child was under the supervision of cardiologist, we had hoped that when she will grow and the defect will close by itself, but it did not happen. At the next review, the doctor examined that she should have surgery.

Operation is free, but okklyuder costs 102 613 UAH is not real for us to collect this money. Besides, I have an older child, a son, who's also a child with heart disease.

We live in the district center, both work but my salary is 3 000 and my husband's salary is 2 000 UAH per month.  Already our relatives gathered around 45 thousand. But our daughter, now almost 2 years as suffering from chronic tsystit that increasing by the last six months, so much money goes to regular treatment. A child with disease did not go to kindgarden; now do not go to school. Almost does not communicate with their peers.

We want the child to do surgery on hearts, so that she could live a full life - go to school, play with peers. To collect the full amount of the operation we cannot, and the state does not fund this type of operation. We appeal to all kind people help cure our daughter in whom there is such a possibility.

With gratitude and great hope to help, Karina parents!
