To free Olena from disease!

Olenka was born quite a little, with a small weight and a large number of malformations. From a helpless lump, she turned into a cheerful, wiggly and fun girl. Lena rarely cries, even when it hurts, even when she is given shots or droppers. She is a strong girl. Fast as a spinning top – she runs, jumps, spins... and suddenly she slows down in the corner of the chair and looks at you with such an adult, full of pain and melancholy look, that you want to turn the whole world to help her. Without the necessary treatment, her world can remain semi-mute... 

Olena was born with a large number of defects, – maldevelopment of the palate, cardiac failure, problems with the legs. And when she was a year it was also found a congenital right-side hearing loss. For two years, the problem with the legs was solved, and also the hearing increased by 30%. But the main misfortune of Lenochka is a congenital uranostaphyloschisis, which prevents sounds from being uttered because there is no place to rest for the tongue, eat solid foods and drink. This condition requires surgery. But it didn’t come to such a vital operation: it is necessary to treat the heart – anesthesia is dangerous for the girl’s life. About the problems in the work of the heart were known since birth, but none of the doctors considered them very serious. To date, Lena’sforamen ovale has not closed, she has an arrhythmia, and the most terrible and unpredictable – sudden fainting. The trouble is that the cause of this can not be found. A vicious circle is formed: the operation can not be done until the cause of loss of consciousness is found and eliminated.

Olenka was examined at the Amosov Institute, but the cause was not identified. There is still hope for the magic device –Biomonitorloop event recorder for round-the-clock registration of the work of the heart, which is set for several months, or even years. The device is implanted under the skin and automatically fixes any abnormal rhythms, sending the measurement results to the Amosov Institute. Based on these data, it will be possible to establish an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the correct treatment.

Despite all the difficulties of life due to health problems, Lenochka is an open, kind and affectionate three-year-old girl. Not a minute sitting still, all the time being in motion. The only ones who can make Lena stop are insects. She can observe them for a long time, look at them from all sides and play. Now Lenochka understands everything, develops well, she has learned to express her needs with gestures and facial expressions. Only that she cannot talk, which makes her very sad. Therefore, the girl will not be able to speak and develop further without an operation.

Biomonitorloop event recorder costs 95000 UAH. At Ukrainian Philanthropic Marketplace, we collect part of the funds. The little girl is waiting for help, her mom and grandmother are just not able to cope with such a sum. Give Lena the opportunity to talk!
