Five-year-old Albina from Kazan needs your help. The girl has a severe heart defect, which was discovered only recently. An urgent operation is required, the cost of which is 500 thousand rubles. The family does not have that kind of money now. The Help to Save Lives Charitable Foundation and our own girls turn to our viewers with a request to help raise the required amount. MIR 24 correspondent Olga Zhemchugova will continue.

Albina loves to draw, has already learned to play chess. But most of all he loves dancing. At the age of five, she is already the owner of a medal and several diplomas. But suddenly she was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect.
“The news of a heart defect came as a surprise to our family, because we did not observe anything of the kind. The child led an active lifestyle. The only thing we noticed was that the child got tired quickly, got tired quickly,”said Albina's mother Venera Shayakhmetova.
Usually, a heart defect is detected even in newborns and an operation is performed immediately, after which the child continues to live a normal life. At the age of five, such a diagnosis can threaten with serious consequences.
“The internal organs are not working properly, fluid is collecting in the lungs, so cardiologists advised us to undergo a heart operation in the near future,” said Venera Shayakhmetova.
The operation, which Albina needs, costs 500 thousand rubles. Now only the girl's dad works in the family. Parents are simply not able to collect such an amount in a short time.
“After the operation, Albina will be a 100% healthy child and will be able to return to her favorite pastime. We ask everyone to help the little girl,”said Yulia Striganova, executive director of the Help Save Lives charity foundation.
To help Albina, you need to send an SMS to 7545, indicating the amount of the donation in the text. Now any help will bring the girl closer to her dream of running and dancing again as before.
Some time ago we talked about six-month-old Nastya Gurenko. The child has severe joint problems. Thanks to your donations, our viewers have already managed to raise 327 thousand rubles for the operation. Native girls say thank you to everyone.
