"Karina was born with a defect inside the heart between the two arterials, And this defect makes a lot of blood to shunt from the left side of the heart to the right and makes the right side of the heart big. Now she feels okay, but if we leave this situation as it is, when she's going to be a 20, 30-year old woman, she's going to have arrhythmia and lots of problems with the heart. So in order to prevent it, we need to close this defect. And this is what we're going to do: we're going to use and the technique of the catheterization, means we're going to enter through one of the vessels here from the groin, go into the heart, and then close it with a device. And after a few months, the device is covered by a normal heart tissue, and then it becomes part of the heart, and she will have complete, normal life."

"A few weeks ago, we, "Save a Child's Heart" were approached by the Israeli field hospital in the Ukraine with a request to assist with a five-year-old child with a congenital heart defect. We immediately said that we would be happy to help and a very fast operation began to start the logistics of bringing the girl to Israel from a war zone to Israel and issuing passports, entry permits, vaccinations, examinations. And within two weeks, she was brought to Israel. On Friday morning, she and her mother arrived here and today she is undergoing lifesaving catheterization here at Wolfson Medical Center."

"We are a country that underwent many wars, and we are also raising our children in a war zone, in essence. Although we are very lucky because we have proper medicine and we have properly proper hospitals and we have proper food and we have proper education. So, although we can relate to her anxiousness and stress because we know how she feels, we had missiles thrown on my house and my children like she had on her. So we understand her, and my grandparents were refugees from Europe, so we can relate. But again, I think we are lucky and we felt that we need to to help her all we can."
