Thank you for being there for us

Thank you for helping us raise funds for Ibrohim’s treatment. The doctors fought to save his life, but, sadly, they were unable to do so.

Ibrahim had a severe congenital heart defect – transposition of the great arteries, a patent ductus arteriosus and a very small opening between the atria. With this condition, blood does not circulate properly and the body is constantly deprived of oxygen. The boy needed surgery immediately after birth, but they were unable to help him in his home country. By the time Ibrohim was brought to Moscow, his condition was already critical. The examination revealed changes in the brain that could have been linked to a prolonged lack of oxygen.

Doctors performed emergency surgery to increase the connection between the atria and improve oxygenation of the blood. The procedure had a positive effect, but Ibrohim’s condition remained extremely serious, and he continued to suffer from hypoxaemia. They were unable to save him. It pains us greatly to write about this, because children should live.

We would like to express our condolences to Ibrahim’s family and thank everyone who helped with the fundraising. Thanks to your donations, Ibrahim had the chance to receive specialist care, and the doctors made use of every available treatment option. Together, we did everything we could, but, to our great regret, circumstances proved too much for us.

Ibrohim’s story shows just how important it is to provide support in good time. And we will continue to do everything we can to ensure this happens.

Thank you for being there for us!
