These syringes are essential for the care of children with gastrostomy tubes. Children receive specialized nutrition and water through the tube, which must be flushed after every feeding. Without these syringes, it is impossible to feed the child on time or provide proper care.

Syringes become a recurring expense for families raising terminally ill children with gastrostomy tubes. These significant costs fall squarely on the parents' shoulders. That is why your help is so vital: it allows families to focus on caring for their child rather than living in constant fear that they won't be able to purchase the necessary supplies on time.

Olya’s family sends their heartfelt thanks. Thank you for ensuring—through your support—that children receive timely nutrition and proper care!

About the campaign

Olya and other seriously ill children need syringes for feeding

Olya has a severe illness that impairs her swallowing. She can't eat normally by mouth and is fed through a special gastrostomy tube, which delivers formula to her stomach.

Olya is fed by her mother, who feeds her five times a day. For each feeding, she uses two syringes: one for administering the formula, which is inserted into the wide part of the gastrostomy tube, and the other for water, to flush the tube after feeding. Syringes are a constant source of consumables, and their cost adds up to a large sum that the family cannot afford alone.

We are raising funds to purchase syringes for Olya and other children with terminal illnesses. Please donate so they can receive safe and reliable nutrition.
