Zakhar is back home!

Zakhar is fifteen. Due to a serious illness, he is on a ventilator, requires oxygen, and needs constant suctioning (airway clearance).

Previously, Zakhar only had a stationary oxygen concentrator — it worked from a wall outlet and didn't allow him to leave the house to see a doctor or simply breathe fresh air. As a result, the teenager spent two months in the hospital simply because there was no way to safely transport him home.

Thanks to the help of Tooba users, a portable oxygen concentrator was purchased. Now Zakhar is back where he belongs — surrounded by his loving family.

About the campaign

Zakhar has a serious illness and needs a portable oxygen concentrator

Zakhar is 15 years old. Due to a serious illness, he cannot walk or sit, but despite this, he remains a cheerful and smiling boy. He is passionate about his studies, loves music and is actively involved with home school teachers.

Zakhar is currently on a ventilator. He's having trouble breathing. For stable breathing, he needs oxygen and constant sanitation, so the family purchased a stationary oxygen concentrator powered by mains. However, life cannot be limited to the walls of the apartment: Zakhar needs walks, fresh air and trips to the hospital for consultations.

Since the boy cannot travel without oxygen support, he has been in the hospital for two months and misses his family very much. You can help him purchase a portable oxygen concentrator. For a boy with a serious illness, this is not just a means for walking, but a real opportunity to return home and be with his loved ones without risking his life.
