Thanks to the help of tubers, we raised the necessary amount of money to buy a portable aspirator for little Victoria. Because of her illness, the girl has to use it all the time, as she has a tracheostomy, which needs to be washed constantly. The family has a stationary aspirator at home, but it is impossible to go outdoors or travel long distances with it.

Vicky's mom writes to us: "Thank you very much to the Spina Bifida Foundation and the Tooba charity app for the opportunity to travel long distances with the child independently. Thanks to your help we can safely walk outside, go to the hospital, rehabilitation center and finally go to another city for examination and treatment of the child, and now there is an opportunity to get rehabilitation in another city. Your help is very valuable for our family!"

Friends, we thank everyone for the support of our ward Victoria!

About the campaign

Vicky has spina bifida and hydrocephalus. She needs a portable aspirator.

At 3 months of age, Vika had a tracheostomy, which helps Vika breathe. Tracheostomy needs to be washed often and it is hard for mom to travel to the hospital and rehabilitation center. It is very difficult to sanitize a child outside and in a public place with an ordinary aspirator. The aspirator may be needed at any time. So that mom and baby can safely walk outside, go to the hospital and rehab center, they need a portable battery-operated aspirator.

When Vicki will have a portable battery-operated aspirator, she will be able to safely walk outside and use the aspirator right there and not have to go home for it. Vika and her mom will be able to go to the hospital, to the rehabilitation center, and finally travel to another city to see doctors for consultations and treatment.
