Life-changing support: 5 wards received professional medical care!

Holding a pen, fastening a button, using a spoon - all this becomes impossible when one of the common and unpleasant complications of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), an incurable genetic skin disease, develops. Due to constant wounds on the hands in severe forms of EB, the fingers grow together, as if a mitten was put on the hand. A surgical operation is necessary, followed by a long rehabilitation, when even the dressing takes place under general anesthesia. Then the child learns to work with his hands and develop joints again. Two of the foundation's wards will undergo surgery soon, but then they will need to be hospitalized for bandaging. The finger separation operation itself will be covered by the CHI, and bandages - only on a commercial basis. The Foundation is opening a fundraiser so that children and their mothers can come to St. Petersburg to the High Medical Technologies Clinic named after. N.I. Pirogov, be hospitalized for several days for dressing under anesthesia, undergo the first course of rehabilitation with an occupational therapist (10 sessions) and return home. This is very important to do right now, otherwise there is a high chance of losing the result of the operation. Let's help the kids so that in the new year they can live and study fully.
