Zlata Tereshchenko, born in 27.06.2016
Diagnosis: Congenital brain malformations.
ATTENTION! AS OF 11.07.2025: Fundraising stopped! The foundation has paid for the girl's treatment. Thank you!
Zlata Tereshchenko is a nine-year-old girl from Zaporizhzhia. Since birth, she has had congenital brain malformations, damage to the central nervous system, and musculoskeletal impairments. Zlata took her very first step only at the age of three. In 2023, doctors diagnosed her with another condition — pituitary gland hyperfunction (precocious puberty).
Zlata attends a specialized educational institution and requires constant support and assistance in her learning process. Despite the challenges, she enjoys sculpting — her favorite activity that helps her relax and feel calm. Zlata also loves animals and dreams of having a husky dog. For now, she only has a stuffed toy that symbolizes her dream.
Zlata is currently in urgent need of complex dental treatment under general anesthesia. Due to her health condition, the procedure must be performed in two stages, as anesthesia can only be administered for a short period of time.
Zlata lives with her mother and grandmother. Her father is not involved in her life. All financial responsibility rests on her mother, who works part-time. The family is unable to cover the full cost of treatment on their own.
The first stage, which cost 17,200 UAH, has already been covered by the foundation. The second stage of treatment, scheduled for next week, will cost 17,400 UAH (approximately 420 USD).
Let’s join forces to bring a smile to this brave little girl’s face!
