Happiness to win
COLLECTED 199 662 hryvnias. PrivatBank Charitable Foundation "It’s Easy to Help", PrivatBank’s clients and Ufond readers raised UAH 199,662. OPERATED.
Seventeen-year-old Lala Melnychenko from Kropyvnytskyi has a severe congenital heart disease. Lala was born with a funnel-shaped deformity of the anterior chest wall and has already undergone one operation, after which she recovered for a long time and with difficulty. Now the girl is gaining strength before another difficult operation - the removal of a complex congenital heart disease, which is ready to conduct specialists of the First Territorial Medical Association of Lviv. But the girl’s parents are not able to pay for the operation worth almost 200,000 hryvnias.
Do you know what happiness it is for Lala to play football and win? Is it crazy to chase the ball, take it from the opponent and score this decisive goal? To be the only girl in the boys’ team and not give in to them?
Do you know what happiness is to play football when doctors do not recommend playing? And is it insane to support Real Madrid, because doctors have already banned playing football?
Lala has a fighting spirit, and she plays great football.
From birth, the girl had a special heart, not like everyone else: as surgeons say, with an "oval window". And the special structure of the chest, which is much larger than usual, and limits the work of the heart. Over the years, both problems have given rise to another: a very unusual hole in the heart muscle.
Until the age of thirteen, Lala played football. And the doctors who followed her hoped that the young body would take its own - and Lala’s special heart would become normal: muscle tissue would grow and close both windows by itself.
However, the usual miracle did not happen. And the operation, which Lala decided on six months ago, left a painful mark on her body and soul. The band operation had to be stopped due to fears about the girl’s health.
It’s even hard to imagine: how is it? Wake up after surgery, believe that the worst is over, and then find out that your chest is still beating a special heart. And the mark on the body that has been healing for so long is only the mark of your unfulfilled hope.
But Lala has a fighting spirit, because she played football for a reason. She played even when the doctors did not advise.
Most recently, Lviv surgeons promised Lali that her dream of regaining a healthy heart was achievable. And in a completely gentle way, without risky cavitary surgery, with the help of occluders. This operation will allow the girl to live a normal life two days after the intervention. The operation is not painful and is guaranteed to be safe.
And for Lala, she is her ticket to a healthy life. To the gym, where her whole sports family trains. To the stadium where the ball is chased. In any profession that requires endurance and strength.
Lala is a special girl. With a special heart and a great will to live and play sports. But now she is on the bench. Lala is waiting for an expensive operation, and each of us can approach the day when she will easily and carefree go to the football field. Or just win - no matter what. After all, the main victory - over the disease - will already be on her account. One-zero!

Cardiovascular surgeon of the Clinical Emergency Hospital of Lviv Petrov Vitaliy: “Lala Melnychenko has a complex, combined heart and chest disease. The girl has a funnel-shaped deformity of the anterior chest wall. This deformity was already operated on 6 years ago, but there was a recurrence of the deformity. There are two atrial septal defects in the heart that need to be closed by two separate occluders. After a gentle intervention, the girl’s heart will be completely healthy. "

Lale Melnychenko successfully performed an operation in the First Territorial Medical Association of Lviv. A complex congenital heart disease was closed endovascularly using special devices - two occluders. Already an hour and a half after the operation, Lala was with her mother in the ward. The work of the heart and blood circulation has been restored. The girl feels well and has already been discharged home.
