Barsbeck underwent heart surgery. Together we did everything possible.

The baby has a congenital heart defect that is life-threatening and requires urgent surgery to replace the heart valve with a prosthesis. The cost of the valve prosthesis is high and the family needs our support. The young parents were eagerly awaiting the birth of their long-awaited firstborn. Together they chose a name, bought tiny washcloths and onesies. At the 36th week of pregnancy after the next examination, the parents learnt that the child has a heart defect. That an operation would be needed immediately after the birth of the boy, even the doctors could not guess. ‘I was only put my son on my stomach for a moment and immediately taken away. Only that feeling of a warm, native touch remained. Our son is still lying in the intensive care unit, wrapped in wires and tubes. He breathes with the help of ventilator, and they feed him through a tube. The doctors have scheduled an operation, but we don't have the money,’ says Eliza, the boy's mother. At home, the cot is empty and brightly coloured rattles are lying idle. Let's help little Barsbek cope with all his trials and come home to his mum and dad as soon as possible!
