5-year-old Muhammad has a weak heart. There is an open arterial duct, which should have overgrown in the first weeks of life, but never did. The 3-mm canal between the aorta and the pulmonary artery prevents the boy from developing normally and living fully.
Recently, a large united family of Zakaryevs celebrated the Eid festival. Children walked down the street, congratulating neighbors, and they gave them sweets. The elders came with full packages, only Muhammad was left with almost no "catch". He quickly got tired and returned home earlier than the others.
Muhammad gets sick every month: colds, running nose, ARVI. Everything sticks to him due to weak immunity. And he is constantly tired and complains on pain in his legs, as soon as he runs a race with his older brothers and sister. Due to illness, Muhammad spends more and more time at home, even though he is an active child.
A duct in the heart is not fatal. But this is very difficult to live with. When school starts, Muhammad will not be able to do physical education. And in the future, the disease will progress, provoking the development of concomitant ailments.
All these problems can be solved by the surgery. An occlude has to be installed in the boy’s heart. It will close the duct like a patch. Shortness of breath and fatigue will go away. The boy will get stronger and will be able to study well at school.
The surgery is free, but the occluder itself is too expensive for the family. The boy needs our help.
Let's save Muhammad’s heart!
