Fundraiser description

VERY URGENT! For Julie's heart to beat, we need you thousands of people with good hearts who will give the chance to beat this one heart, this inefficient one. Juliet's condition is deteriorating and the lack of surgery threatens her life... Juliet is 11 years old, she loves animals and wants to become a veterinarian in the future. For that to happen, however, she must grow up, she must live!

Thanks to the operation in Boston, the heart of Mateusz, Jack, Jacob is beating. Julie's heart can beat too! The surgery must take place ASAP... Help, please!

 Julie's mother: When other mothers were happy to prepare layettes for their future children, I prayed that my beloved daughter would make it... Julia was diagnosed prenatally with a comple heart defect. When the baby girl was born, she was breathing very poorly. It was necessary to support her with two supportive breaths... Seconds lasted forever and a day!

 After birth, we heard a different diagnosis than previously made. Juliet is suffering from a transposition of the great arteries with ventricular inversion, a large interventricular defect in the heart and the stricture of the outflow from the left ventricle to the pulmonary artery. It is a rare and complex heart defect. In addition, all organs are reversed as in mirror image.

 I knew that we would live in the shadow that is called a heart defect... I also knew that I would do everything to save my daughter and give her a chance for a wonderful life. Initially, the doctors wanted to make a single ventricle heart. After a heart catheterization, which was carried out around Julie's second birthday, the idea has been abandoned-physicians qualified my daughter for observation only.

 Julie turned 11 in April. Unfortunately, we can see that her little heart is weaker and weaker and is inefficient in pumping the blood... She tolerates physical exertion very badly. Since her birth we take measure of the level of blood saturation with oxygen. For a healthy person the level of blood saturation is about 100%. During Julie's last illness, this saturation dropped to 76%. Pulmonary stenosis is slowly but steadily progressing.

Unfortunately, treatment of such a complicated and extremely rare heart defect is not possible in our country. There is a prospect for Julie but in the USA, where little hearts are treated for which ones no one else gives a chance. Julie has been qualified for surgery by one of the most outstanding cardiac surgens in the world-Professor Pedro J.del Nido. He is the chief of cardiac surgery at Boston's Children Hospital .He will operate Julie's heart using the anatomical repair method-Double-Switch. After surgery in the USA Julie's heart will keep beating!

Without surgery, Julie's condition wil deteriorate... Without treatment her life is at risk. Julia is exposed to numerous complications caused by mixing of blood between the pulmonary and systemic parts of the circulatory system. This can lead to embolism... Pulmonary stenosis in worse an worse making the problem by restricting blood flow to the lungs. Hypoxia deepens. Without surgery the right ventricle will fail.Julia in a few years may become completely inefficient!

The doctor want to operate on Julie in the next few months. The price for the treatment is terrifying...The awareness that in a few years I may lose my beloved daughter scares me even more. 

I have never asked anyone for anything, now I am asking you to help Julie. To save her life and health, so that you can visit a wonderful veterinarian in several years, who will help your animals and whose heart will beat thanks to you...

We need thousands of people with good hearts. Help, please, donate even penny, pass it on, share it. To save Julia.

 Julia's greatful mother
