Anya has a congenital heart defect. For the past 10 years, she has been regularly brought to Germany for treatment and consultations. At the end of October, Anya and her mother arrived for an openheart surgery. The doctors examined her condition, held a consultation, and decided that the surgery needed to be postponed because, in her current vascular state, it would be ineffective. However, it was necessary to perform a surgical correction of a submucous cleft palate – the suture had come apart, which caused the child considerable discomfort: food and water were constantly entering her nose, and repeated infections occurred due to bacteria. The surgery could only be performed in mid-January. Anya and her mother had to stay in Germany much longer than planned. They had to extend their visas and find additional funds for accommodation and meals. Now the doctors have permitted them to return home, but they do not have enough money for the tickets. They need 1500 euros to get to Novosibirsk.

Nikita was born at 26 weeks weighing just 850 grams. He spent a month in intensive care and then in the pathology department.
At 10 months, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Since then, he has been undergoing regular rehabilitation. Nikita’s intellect is fully preserved: he speaks, learns poems and songs, and knows the alphabet and numbers.
Due to a growth spurt, he developed spasticity that caused hip dislocations, necessitating surgery. Nikita is in severe pain, and the operation will help reduce spasticity and realign his joints. The operation at a clinic in Georgia costs €14,700.
