Dinush Rivkin, a young four and half year old little girl from Kiryat Malachi, doesn’t even know what normal food is or how it tastes.
All she knows is that terrible tasting food she is fed daily via a special feeding tube. Zunda.
Dinush was born with a serious congenital birth defect known as Esophageal atresia.
From the day she was born, Dinush has never tasted any other food or drinks except this horrible tasting Zunda which is bitter and very discomforting.
Very often her body rejects this food and she throws up consistently and on many occasions she even chokes on this food.
It is impossible to continue like this!
This is a very rare disease and there has only been one similar case to that of Dinush in all of Israel.
Alternative medical solutions have not been found.
But there is now a ray of hope!
A private hospital in Boston which specializes in stomach related diseases has reviewed her case and all the doctors unanimously agreed that her only hope is an immediate and complicated surgery which will reroute her esophagus directly to her stomach.
The most senior doctors and professors in Israel who have been treating Dinush, as well as the most prominent medical referrals such as Harav Firer have given their blessings and green light for her and her family to have this operation performed.
The date for the surgery has already been scheduled. It will take place on November 30th.
There is only one hurdle and that is that the family must pay the cost of the operation upfront to the hospital in Boston.
The cost is 1,500,00 ILS (just under $400,000 USD).
Unfortunately, Kupat Cholim and other insurance from Israel do not even cover a portion of this procedure.
The family must pay the full amount in addition to all travel related expenses.
THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE DINUSH THE ABILITY TO LIVE A NORMAL AND HEALTHY LIFE.
DINUSH NEEDS YOUR HELP AND SHE NEEDS IT NOW. THIS IS HER ONLY HOPE!
ONLY YOU CAN GIVE DINUSH THIS HOPE FOR A NORMAL LIFE AND TO ENABLE HER PARENTS TO RAISE HER AND HER SIBLINGS WITH NORMALICY.
GIVE DINUSH HER LIFE!

I pushed myself to give a bit more than I usually do, why? Well because I am impressed that the family is truly asking for what they NEED for the operation, not tacking on additional expenses just because they can.
