Thanks to the help of tubers we were able to purchase a portable aspirator for Amina. Now her mom can go out with Amina again and not worry about traveling to check-ups and rehabilitation - the portable aspirator is always at hand and will help Amina to cough up phlegm when it is needed, not when there is access to an outlet (as with a stationary aspirator). This is what Amina's mom wrote to us: "I express my sincere gratitude for your help in purchasing an aspirator, with your help we can now go out for a walk, travel. Thank you so much for making our lives better!".

About the campaign

Amina needs a portable aspirator to help her breathe freely

Amina is 4 years old. She is the third child in the family, she was born healthy, but at 4 months the girl was diagnosed with severe epilepsy. Epilepsy caused a delay in mental and motor development. Amina's development stopped: the girl can turn over, but cannot sit independently, cannot walk, eats through a gastrostomy, and cannot cough at all. Amina's parents constantly need to monitor the girl to prevent her choking on sputum. This requires a special device - an aspirator.

A stationary aspirator, working from the network, the family was able to receive from the state. But for walks and trips to the hospital or rehabilitation Amina very much needs a vacuum portable aspirator Medela.

In the family only dad works, so they can not buy an expensive aspirator on their own. Only thanks to your help we can help parents to walk with Amina and take her to medical examinations and rehabilitation without fear.
