Several years ago, we helped Alina pay for rehabilitation. The girl was born with a heart defect and underwent surgery on the third day of her life. The difficult postoperative period, during which she required mechanical ventilation for 3.5 months, had serious consequences – the child came home with multiple diagnoses. Alina has a congenital heart defect, cerebral palsy, profound bilateral hearing loss (grade 4), and choroidal coloboma.
But her mother, who is raising Alina alone, refuses to give up. She managed to find several clinics and specialists abroad who helped Alina learn to stand and walk, address her heart condition, and reduce her developmental delay. Thanks to rehabilitation, the girl has learned to do many things despite the doctors’ predictions. She can sit, stand, and even walk with support.

In December, Alina needs to undergo another course of rehabilitation at the Neurolife Rehabilitation Centre in China. The family has asked us for help covering the travel expenses. The amount needed is approximately 1,000 euros.

Kira has a very rare congenital condition, and when she was very young, doctors recommended amputating her leg. However, her mother managed to find treatment in Germany that helped save Kira’s leg. For several years now, she has been under the care of a professor in Hamburg. The girl has undergone numerous operations. Treatment must continue because she is growing and her body is changing. Any infections or injuries carry the risk of internal bleeding and thrombosis.

Kira still needs two more operations, which must be paid for, but only part of the required funds has been raised. Approximately 27,400 euros are still needed.
