Arina and other seriously ill children need gastrostomy tube extensions

Arina has been fed through a tube since birth, and a few years ago, she had a gastrostomy tube inserted. This is her only way to receive nutrition to maintain her strength, grow, and develop.

But a gastrostomy tube alone is not enough to provide adequate nutrition. Special extension tubes are needed—they act as an adapter and extender. Syringes and feeding systems, through which nutrition and medications are delivered, are connected to these tubes. Without this small but crucial component, it is impossible to feed Arina.

These tubes are consumables that are constantly needed. For the family, this is a large and recurring expense that is very difficult to cover alone. Therefore, we are starting a fundraising campaign for Arina and other seriously ill children who need these same supplies.

Please donate! Help us purchase special tubes so that children can eat properly, gain strength, and not go hungry!
