Report

Semyon has spina bifida and sleeps only with oxygen support. There is a stationary concentrator at home, but you could not take it with you to the doctor, for a check-up, for a walk. And that really limited the family's movements.

Also, Semyon and his parents live in a village where the electricity is sometimes cut off. Because of this, the stationary concentrator would shut down and the boy would be left without oxygen, which added inconvenience and anxiety to Semyon's parents.

Together with the charitable app Tooba we bought such an important oxygen concentrator, with which Semya can now safely go out of the house, visit doctors and even travel!

Shoma's mom wrote to us: "Thank you so much, now we can safely leave home with the new machine and not have to worry about anything. Thank you!"

Thanks to the Tooba app and everyone who helped with our collection!

About the campaign

Seme needs a portable oxygen concentrator to go to the examination

Sema was born with a diagnosis of spina bifida: the arches of the spine do not fuse and the spinal cord “falls out” of them, forming a hernia. The disease develops in utero, the causes of its occurrence are unknown.

After the birth of the boy, he was immediately sent to Novosibirsk, to the hospital, and operated on the first day. Due to an incorrectly installed feeding tube, Semyon got a tube in his throat - a tracheostomy. He breathes through it. And another tube in the stomach - gastrostroma. He eats through it.

Now Semyon really needs a portable oxygen concentrator. He sleeps only with oxygen support. There is a stationary one at home, but you cannot take it with you. Semyon needs to go to Moscow for an examination, but it is impossible to do this without a concentrator.

Together we can help Syoma get the oxygen concentrator he needs, with which he can safely leave the house, visit doctors and even just travel!
