Elizabeth has a dystrophic form of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare genetic disease in which the skin exfoliates from the slightest mechanical impact. In severe cases, like Lisa's, the disease also affects the mucous membranes.
Over the course of her life, Lisa has been in hospitals countless times and has undergone several serious surgical procedures. At the same time, she remains incredibly lively and purposeful: she paints, participates in exhibitions and competitions, loves to travel and dreams of seeing a real Disneyland.
Lisa continues to look at the world as if it is still open to her, although in the last couple of years she has practically lost the ability to walk on her own. The scarred skin of the feet has lost its elasticity, and the bones continue to grow. The result is leg wounds that don't heal for months.
This continued until Lisa was sent a special collagen bandage for testing, which does not need to be removed – it resolves directly into the wound, while ensuring sterility and ideal conditions for healing. The coating allows you to close wounds of a large area. The result became noticeable within a couple of weeks: old wounds began to shrink, and inflammation decreased. It would seem that a solution has been found. There is only one problem left: the cost of bandages.
The Butterfly Children Foundation opens a collection for collagen dressings for Lisa. She's only 20 - her whole life is ahead of her. We can help a girl to live actively, travel and make her dreams come true.
Let's do it together!
