Save Valeria's heart

10-year-old Valeria has congenital heart disease – patent ductus arteriosus, which was discovered accidently. In January 2015 the girl had been ill with a complex form of scarlet fever, and then sent to the scheduled examination to the cardiologist. The survey revealed that Valeria has congenital heart disease, earlier the family did not know about it. Doctors advised as soon as possible to close this defect, as the child grows and the heart load increases, which may adversely affect the health of the girl.

Besides, Lera is highly allergic individual and she's dignosed biliary dyskinesia. Open surgery with such a diagnosis doctors do not recommend, because complications can occur. The operation itself is free, but intracardiac implant (spiral) which will be used to cure the girl's heart is worth a lot of money 37 000 UAH. Project goal is to help cure girl's heart forever and give her a chance for a full life!

The mother with a daughter lives alone, as she divorced the father of the child. He did not work and didn't help his family. Valeria with her mother are now in a very difficult situation, they don't have their own place to live, so they live with their grandparents. The mother works as a senior laboratory assistant at the National University of Physical Education and Sports. The monthly income of mother and her child is about 1 500 UAH. To raise the necessary funds on the intracardiac implant for the only beloved daughter will take years, which, unfortunately, Lera doesn't have.

Lera is a very lively and cheerful girl who loves sports and wants to become an athlete. For make this become a reality, and the dream of the girl come true, surgery is needed. We appeal to all indifferent and kind people, help raise the required amount to buy the implant for Lera. Together, let's give a chance for this 10-year-old girl for a long and happy life!
