Khadijat's mother remembers well the day her daughter was born. A perfectly healthy, strong baby, except for a red bubble on her left leg.
Then there were more of these bubbles, and every careless touch left wounds on Khadijat's skin that were painful and did not heal for a long time. This unusual fragility of the skin is one of the manifestations of a rare skin disease, epidermolysis bullosa. The skin becomes as fragile as a butterfly wing.
The gauze bandages and pharmaceutical-grade green, which had been used to treat little Khadijat's wounds, traumatized her skin even more. People with this diagnosis need special disinfectants and healing agents to help soothe wounds. Bandages and special breathable bandages form an additional protective layer on the skin. Thanks to them, the pain recedes a little, and Khadijat can do her usual activities - drawing, modeling with dough or plasticine and studying.
Bandages and medicines, which give Khadija hope for another day without pain, are always needed: regular treatment maintains the fragile health of the skin, protecting it from infections.
The girl needs bandages, antiseptics and medicines every month. This is the biggest expense for her family. By collecting the necessary amount of money it is possible to buy everything she needs for bandages for 2 months. Thanks to your help, Khadijat can live these two months without pain, doing her favorite things.
