Help Polina continue rehabilitation

The story of Asya Agaieva resonated in the hearts of many people — and thanks to this support, we were able to quickly raise 119,000 UAH for a portable oxygen concentrator.

As a reminder, Asya has a severe post-COVID respiratory condition. After bilateral pneumonia and respiratory failure, scar membranes formed in her bronchi, making breathing difficult. Since then, the girl has remained oxygen-dependent and can breathe on her own for only a few minutes.

For more than a year, Asya was effectively confined to a stationary oxygen concentrator, but the portable device allowed her to become more mobile and travel to Kyiv for further treatment.

“You should have seen the child’s eyes when she realized she would be able to go outside!” — shares Tetiana Ivanivna, head of the pulmonology department of the regional children's hospital.

After purchasing the concentrator, the remaining funds — 36,000 UAH — will be directed toward Asya’s further treatment, as the recovery process remains long and requires constant medical support.

We sincerely thank everyone who contributed to the help. Thanks to you, Asya received not just a medical device — she received the opportunity to breathe, move, and feel childhood again.
