Cardiac surgeons implanted a small sensor in Magdalena. It monitors her heart rhythms and will help doctors understand why the child loses consciousness. The funds for the cardiac monitor were raised thanks to you. Thank you for helping without delay!

Magdalena has been suffering from fainting spells for several years, the cause of which doctors have not yet been able to determine.

"We are endlessly grateful to everyone who came to our daughter's aid," says her mother. "At last, we have hope for a diagnosis and the prescription of effective therapy."

The doctors explained to her mother how to use the device: what to do if the device is triggered or if Magdalena loses consciousness. So far, there have been no cases of emergency activation.

Now Magdalena has returned to her usual life. She is in the 2nd grade, hurries to drama club after school, then to choir, and to music school, where she plays the spoons and balalaika. She also has sculpting and drawing classes. While she easily copes with her academic and creative workload, her heart is being recorded 24 hours a day. Thank you for lending a helping hand and giving Magdalena and her loved ones hope for a peaceful and happy life!

About the campaign

Magdalena needs a cardiac monitor to detect dangerous heart problems

Starting at the age of three and a half, Magdalena faints. First, the child turns white, and the nasolabial triangle turns blue, then a pop and falls. At first, they blamed it on the heat, but then her parents started taking her to doctors.

Over the years, the girl has become so accustomed to being examined, lying down, standing up, and doing exercises that "the doctors have become like a second family to her." She takes the endless injections and tests without complaint. However, the doctors have been unable to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem. The goal now is to rule out the heart as the primary source of the issue. Or confirm it and prescribe treatment. In short, Magdalena needs to have a device implanted that will monitor her heart rate 24/7 and record the readings. The cardiomonitor, which is necessary for the girl, cannot be obtained for free.

Magdalena is an active child who constantly wants to run and jump, dance, and engage in sports. However, she is not allowed to do so. For now, she has to restrain her enthusiasm. We can now help "implant a device" into Magdalena's heart, which will reveal the cause of her dangerous fainting spells. Let's lend a helping hand together!
