Save heart of Kasian Artemchyk!

My son is 11 months. He is very active, cheerful boy. But even at birth, doctors noticed the noise in his heart. After examination, we diagnosed a congenital heart defect - ductus arteriosus. My husband and I really hoped that up to 3 months duct will close. But, the miracle did not happen and now we need surgery.

My son needs oklyuder. Price of oklyuder - 78 324 UAH. For our family is a very large sum. We have two children. In addition, my husband has a son from his first marriage. I am on maternity leave. The income of our family of 4 people is only my husband salary. Our family has 4,000 UAH per month. Part of the money goes to pay off loans that we took in appliances.

Upon learning about the upcoming surgery we started to save money, but collected only 10 000 UAH. The operation should be done urgently. Delay treatment of defects is not possible, as this can lead to irreversible changes in the blood vessels of the lungs, in addition, the ductus arteriosus increases the load on the heart, especially the left ventricle. For a short time our family will not be able to collect the necessary sum. So we ask for help to all concerned people. Help our son become healthy!

With hope, mom.
