Inna is a 12-year-old Ukrainian girl who urgently needs a heart transplant!

Inna was born special. Already at the 8th month of pregnancy, doctors saw that her heart was much larger than normal. Her mother had to undergo an emergency C-section, and the little girl spent the first six months of her life in the Heart Institute.

She managed to survive, take her first steps, and begin to live like other children. But the fight for life never ended.

Now Inna is 12 years old, and the illness has returned. She struggles to breathe, her heart is not working properly, and every day has become a test. Doctors say: the only chance to save her is the implantation of a mechanical heart (VAD).

When Inna was 8 years old, her father passed away. This was a devastating blow for the entire family. He had been their support and the main provider. With his loss, everything in their lives changed.

Inna’s mother is an orphan; she has no parents who could help. Her only brother is now on the front lines, defending Ukraine. He is the family’s pride, but also a great sacrifice, because he cannot support them during this difficult time. Inna’s older sister is only 16, so all the responsibility has fallen on their mother’s shoulders.

Life after the father’s death became extremely difficult — both financially and emotionally. And now, when such a tremendous amount of money is needed to save a child’s life, the family has found themselves in a desperate situation.

The cost of a mechanical heart is $120,000. Our foundation aims to raise only $20,000 of the required amount!

We sincerely ask you to support our efforts to help Inna and save yet another Ukrainian child’s heart!
