Dear friends, Anya now has the essential programmer she needed — a device without which her treatment was impossible, and each day could have brought pain and risk.

Thanks to your kindness and support, the girl's family can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Now shunt settings can be checked on the spot, without urgent trips to the hospital, waiting in line for a CT scan, or wondering whether the parameters have shifted.

We share with you the words of Anya's mom: "With a high fever, the shunt parameters can shift — and now we can check everything on the spot. Before, we had to rush to the hospital, get a CT scan, and worry. But now we are calm. Thank you so much!"

You gave this family peace, confidence, and precious time — time that can now be spent not in hospitals, but on rehabilitation, development, and joy. Anya continues to learn to speak, sit, and walk.

About the campaign

Anya needs a special device to adjust the shunt in order to continue treatment

Anna is 4.5 years old, she was born in the 27th week of pregnancy. On the fifth day after birth, Anya had a pulmonary hemorrhage, a few days later another one, and on the 19th day - intraventricular hemorrhage of the brain grade 3. The girl spent about three months on a ventilator, the child also had an eye operation (retinopathy of prematurity), and then a shunt system was installed. The baby was discharged home only after four months! And, unfortunately, with a large number of diagnoses.

Now the girl is four and a half years old: she says a few words, sits with support and walks a little with support. Anya needs several operations, but all this is impossible without a programmer to adjust the shunt. Without it, it is impossible to continue treatment, and time is inexorably passing, and complications are getting worse. After any examination, the child needs to re-adjust the pressure in the shunt with a special programmer, to which, unfortunately, there is limited access. Without this, the girl's severe pain returns quite quickly.

Anya's mom regularly visits doctors with her daughter, goes to rehabilitation and sees specialists. The girl's dad works two jobs without days off, but there is still not enough money. Anechka's own programmer is a vital thing, without it the little girl is not just hard, but even dangerous!
