The girl in the photo is 16-year-old Lianna. She dreams of becoming a doctor to help people and save lives. But today, she is the one who needs saving.

On October 27, Lianna was admitted to the intensive care unit of Arabkir Medical Center in an extremely severe condition.

She has been diagnosed with severe liver damage: autoimmune hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and acute liver failure developed on the background of chronic liver failure.

Lianna’s condition was urgently discussed with specialists from the Minsk Scientific and Practical Center for Surgery, Transplantation and Hematology. According to the doctors’ assessment, she needs an urgent liver transplant.

Although liver transplant surgeries are also successfully performed at Arabkir Medical Center, Lianna’s case involves an additional serious obstacle. She has a rare blood type, and in Armenia it is not possible to secure a sufficient supply of compatible blood components in such a short time. Because of this, as well as her severe liver failure, it was decided to urgently transfer Lianna to Minsk, where the necessary treatment and surgery can be arranged.

A total of $153.403 (54,918,274 dram) is needed to cover pre-operative care in Armenia,  logistical expenses, as well as the transplantation procedure in Minsk. This amount is far beyond the family’s financial means, and right now, time is critical.

Lianna is only 16 years old. She still has so many dreams and goals ahead of her.

Let us come together today and give Lianna a second chance at life. Every donation, no matter the amount, is an important step toward making her urgent treatment possible.
