Donation protected
Please contribute to the rescue of the brave and strong girl Rahat. The life of this beautiful girl who lives with a bomb in her head is in your hands.
Since the age of 11, Rahat has been struggling with the terrible disease Arterio-Venous Malformation (AVM) in the cerebellum. There is a tangle of vessels, with very thin walls in her head, which can at any time explode and take our girl.
Rahat suffered 2 strokes, the first occurred when she was 11 years old, after which she could not walk, could not eat on her own. But fortitude, youth and a desire to live give her the chance to fight the burning pain for almost 10 years...
Now Rahat can't see, her vision is less than 10%, she can only see silhouettes. Only 3 months ago, her beautiful eyes could see, but the sharp increase in hydrocephalus, the growth of an aneurysm, brought back that burning pain in the head and neck area, it seemed to her that hot iron was poured into her head, from which she could not even get out of bed. Consequences - stun on the right side, reduced vision. Rahat is a very creative person, she was not allowed to lead a sporty lifestyle all these years, but now the disease has taken away her vision as well.
AVM treatment is long and expensive. It requires simultaneous use of radio and microneurosurgery, endovascular manipulations. In Israel, it costs 150 thousand dollars to completely turn off the AVM from the bloodstream and further removal of it. The Rahat family does not have such money, she urgently needs treatment, she is now forbidden to even sneeze sharply, and a third stroke may occur.
Now clinic named after Niels Stensen Marienhospital Osnabrück (Germany) agreed to operate Rahat, the date of the operation depends on when the money will be collected - 33,000 euro. Without 100% prepayment, she will not be accepted for surgery. And this amount does not include additional expenses and subsequent rehabilitation procedures. We ask for your help, you are the last hope for our girl! Help us collect the required amount.
***UPDATE*** A German Clinic has taken interest in the procedure for Rakhat.
