Little Nastusha from the Odesa region needs an urgent heart operation! The child has a congenital heart defect that must be corrected, but the parents have no money to purchase the implant. The surgery at the Amosov National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery is performed free of charge; they only need to buy the occluder (intracardiac implant) so the little one can live.

Parents of a little girl are reaching out to you with a huge request to support their daughter’s project! Nastusha is a very cheerful and positive child. But because of a heart defect she constantly gets tired, falls ill, and simply cannot be like other kids her age. The heart defect greatly hinders her from living a childhood. Not to mention the risks that can lead to very bad outcomes. After all, a congenital heart defect is a slow‑acting bomb. You never know when it will explode and it will be too late to act. The parents of Nastusha have no money to correct the heart defect. The occluder costs more than 115 thousand UAH. Nastusha’s father works as a firefighter and risks his life every day. Mother stays at home with a 7‑month‑old brother. They cannot raise the funds on their own. And the child needs to be saved right now! That is why they are turning to all the caring people. The parents beg for help to save the heart of their beloved and kind girl! And the main thing is that there are many children like Nastusha! More than 4 500 children are born each year with congenital heart defects and need surgeries.
