A year and a half ago, Sasha suffered from severe pneumonia and since then has had to regularly clear his airways using an aspirator. Thanks to caring people, the boy now has the long-awaited portable aspirator – lightweight and convenient – allowing him to go for walks, visit the hospital, and even travel.

"Now any trip is much easier for us," says Lyudmila, Sasha's mother. "If we need to go to the clinic or just for a walk, we always take the aspirator with us. It's portable, comfortable, lightweight, and holds its charge really well. We can use it even when the power goes out. We took it to the seaside with us, went for walks, did the suctioning – everything went perfectly. We are so grateful to everyone who helped us get this device. You have made Alexander's life better. Thank you!"

About the campaign

Sasha needs a mobile aspirator to move around outside the home

Alexander is 18 years old. Many years ago, he was born prematurely and spent the first months of his life not in his mother's arms, but in the pathology department for premature babies.

Over the years, the family has learned to live with Sasha's illness, but a year ago he suffered from pneumonia, which led to an abundant accumulation of sputum and the need for constant clearing of the respiratory tract.

The family received a home aspirator, but it is very bulky and only works from the mains. Due to the deterioration of Sasha's condition, he often needs to go to the hospital for consultations and procedures, and without a portable device for clearing the respiratory tract, this is difficult to do.

Purchasing a portable aspirator will help Sasha to be outdoors more often, walk, communicate and not limit his life to four walls.
