Katya was born at 23 weeks weighing 650 grams. Katya spent the first 6 months of her life in the intensive care unit. At 4 months of age she underwent an eye surgery due to third degree retinopathy. The left eye could not be saved, there was a complete detachment of the retina.
But, unfortunately, Katya also has a problem with her intestines and she had a surgery not only for her eyes, but also for her intestines. Now Katya needs specialized nutrition due to her health condition. Her weight gain is very bad because of digestive problems, and it is vitally important for her to put it on, because she is going to have another surgery soon. Her weight determines how the surgery will be and how the girl will survive it.
Unfortunately, the family cannot afford to pay for specialized food, as the whole family budget is spent on treatment and the baby. The child needs constant care, specialized nutrition, regular exercise, rehabilitation, and lessons.
Let's help Katya get all the nutrition she needs and get ready for surgery!
