Katya Okhrimchuk
Dear friends !
Fundraising for Katya Okhrimchuk’s treatment is closed. Due to family circumstances, fundraising for the occluder was stopped at the request of the girl’s mother. If there are no objections, the funds raised for Katya Okhrimchuk will be transferred to the treatment of another child, a Ufond ward under the Ufond.Serce program and the Fill the Heart with Life campaign .
Katya is a kind, sweet, smart and inquisitive girl, whose birth was an invaluable blessing for a mother who raises her daughter on her own.
At the next examination by a pediatrician in the heart of six-month-old Katya found noise. After consultations with doctors from Rivne and Kyiv, I heard a terrible diagnosis - a defect of the atrial septum 9 millimeters. At the same moment, Katya and I had a happy life.
It was hoped that the defect would be closed without surgery, but the miracle did not happen. I have been in constant concern for my child’s health for over three years. Due to frequent viral infections, she was forced to take additional leave for one year to care for the child. At the last examination, specialists from the Kyiv Heart Institute said that the hole in her daughter’s heart was widening, so she needed surgery. Cardiologists recommend surgical treatment with endovascular "gentle" method, which is the safest and least traumatic for the child’s body. To perform the operation requires an expensive device - an occluder. I am not able to raise the necessary amount to buy it, because no one but me provides for our small family, and the income of a single mother is barely enough for daily needs. I turn to good and merciful people for help. I hope that with your help Katyusha’s heart will be saved soon, and she will be able to continue to carefree explore such an interesting and colorful world. And my heart will finally be at peace for my daughter’s health. Iryna Okhrimchuk, Rivne region.
Head of the Department of Endovascular Surgery of the Heart Institute Andriy Khokhlov (Kyiv): "Katya has a congenital heart defect - a defect of the atrial septum with pronounced dilatation of the right heart. Given the topic of the defect and the general condition of the girl, she needs to carry out endovascular closure of the defect with a special patch - an occluder. This will stop the development of dangerous complications. The girl will be healthy. "
The occluder supplier billed 105,609 hryvnias .
