Dasha Ukhova from Veliky Novgorod is a young girl in her prime. And the epithet “butterfly”, sounded in her relation, by an outsider can be perceived as an elegant compliment. That's just a diagnosis behind which a rare genetic disease is hidden - epidermolysis bullosa.
The skin of people with this ailment becomes the most vulnerable organ of the body. Any careless movement - even a hug - can result in injury. A small bubble will first appear on the skin, which after a moment will turn into a real wound.
This is a serious and incurable disease now - but Dasha found the strength not to give up. She had a favorite job, the girl got a profession and graduated from a sewing college. At home, Dasha makes toys and clothes, draws pictures and embroiders. And she also has a loving husband, and soon a long-awaited replenishment awaits their young family - Dasha is preparing to give birth.
All the more important for her now is your help. The Butterfly Children Foundation is raising funds for much-needed medicines. These are special bandages that will not injure Dasha's fragile skin, and healing creams and gels. With your support, the foundation will send Dasha a box with everything she needs. And Dasha will be able, even if for a while, to forget about her illness and devote herself to caring for her child.
