Her chance to live long

"The inhaler broke down so that it could not be repaired in the workshop", writes Kira's mom. I check: indeed, the girl received this device from us 3.5 years ago. The simple model met the needs of the baby, but during this time it runs out of resources, they work longer rarely. But the inhaler for a person living with cystic fibrosis is an item of basic necessity, the patient begins to suffocate without daily procedures. So it's a matter of urgency. 

Kira is a cheerful child, trying to be active: she goes to drawing classes, sings in a children's group. There is still a place for a fairy tale in her life and she believes that the world is good. Kira was unlucky to be born with a serious disease that wanted to destroy her body from inside. But this process can be stopped, slowed down. In Europe and America, people with cystic fibrosis live a long life. Can our people do the same? Perhaps, if they have all the necessary equipment and medicines, if they meet a doctor who will explain everything in detail and will select the most effective scheme of therapy for this person if the patient himself honestly follows all the prescriptions. We can hardly influence the second and the third. But we can help

Kira have everything she needs. This is her chance to live long. We discussed with Kira's mom what else we could do to make the girl feel better. The list includes: a powerful Pari Turbo Boy inhaler with supplies, a trampoline (it helps in daily physiotherapy - it is easier to cough up viscous mucus and clear lungs after jumps) and a germicidal lamp. It is also important for Kira to take a high-calorie special diet and get a flu shot - all of these will help her survive the cold season with minimal risk of an exacerbation of the girl's
condition and avoid unplanned hospitalizations.
