On September 04, 2019, a three-year-old girl from the city of Rivne, Rivne region, was hospitalized at the children's department of the Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Valeria Antoniuk, who was born on June 25, 2016. Lerochka has a congenital heart defect - an open arterial duct. The girl needs endovascular closure of the defect with the Nit-Occlud PDA spiral kit.
Valeria's mother, Maryna Antoniuk, asked the Foundation to help her purchase expensive consumables. We started project «Little Valeria is really looking forward to your help!». The Foundation on its website https://heart-in-hand.in.ua/programs/malenka-valeriya-duzhe-chekae-na-vashu-dopomogu/ and Facebook page posted information about the girl and all the necessary supporting documents.
We, along with Valeria, her parents and older brother, all our relatives and friends, are sincerely grateful to Vodafone Ukraine, which provided the necessary heart implant to save the girl's heart.
Lerochka, grow up healthy and happy, may all your dreams come true! All the best for you!
