On November 21, 2018, a little girl from the village of Bila, Chemerovets district, Khmelnytsky region, Yevchuk Vitalina, born on September 24, 2014, was hospitalized in the children's department of the Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The girl has a congenital heart defect - an open arterial duct and dilatation of the left ventricular cavity.
Vitalina needs endovascular correction of the defect with the Nit-Occlud PDA occluder, which costs UAH 68,480.
Oksana Pidsotska, her mother, asked the Foundation to help her purchase expensive medical supplies for her only daughter. The Foundation started project «Little Vitalina really needs to save her heart!»We posted information about the girl and all the necessary supporting documents on our website and Facebook page.
To help the heart of little Vitalina immediately responded ICF «International Charitable Foundation in honor of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin», who purchased the necessary heart implant and sent it to the Heart Institute. We sincerely thank them from the bottom of our hearts!
