Save the heart of Vilenska Kseniia

Five-year-old Ksenia urgently needs help. She was born a healthy girl, but when she turned a month, she was in a hospital with a diagnosis of jaundice. There, in the department of newborn pathology, the doctor listened to the noise in the girl's heart and sent it to the ultrasound. After examination, parents heard the diagnosis: congenital heart disease, the girl was sent to the Amosov National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery. Here Oksana is on the register to date. 

The family hoped that eventually the shortage would close on its own and the girl would not have to do an open operation. After all, Ksiusha is constantly ill with colds, viral diseases, adenoids 1 and 2 degrees, she has abnormalities in the work of the digestive tract (the child is on a constant special diet). Oksanka very badly collected weight and very thin, in its five and a half years weighs only 14 kg. On the recommendation of the pediatrician, the child does not attend children's groups (kindergarten).

At the last examination at the Amosov Institute, the doctors saw that the defect was increasing, and the right side of the heart was also increasing. In this regard, doctors recommend that as soon as possible to do an endovascular intervention and close the vice forever. In the Velensky family, only the father works, as the mother is forced to stay at home and take care of the child.

For all the time the family was able to collect only 27 000 UAH, but they can not collect the rest of the amount without the help of caring people. Despite the fact that the girl is very often sick, she grows beautiful and clever. Ksusha can count, read and make examples. Oksanka wants to be healthy and next year to go to school! Let's help a little girl to have a healthy heart!
