On September 16, 2025, a sixteen-year-old girl from the city of Lutsk, Volyn region, Lashch Oleksandra, was hospitalized in the children's department of the Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. She has a congenital heart defect - a wide oval window with a secondary atrial septal defect and moderate right atrial enlargement.
To eliminate this congenital heart defect, Oleksandra needs endovascular closure of the atrial septal defect with the Xeapt P XJFS2525 occluder with the Stiirease SFA 10F introducer, the cost of the set is UAH 165,796.50.
The Foundation was approached by the girl's mother, Nadiya Lashch, who works as a sales manager at Edelvika Private Joint Stock Company, and Oleksandra's father, Ruslan Lashch, who takes care of her younger son and receives social assistance for a disabled child.
With a request to support our charitable project and provide a charitable donation for the purchase of an occluder for the defect of the interventricular septum with
