Ukraine, operated on the Child Jesus, the amputated girl

The intervention on Sasha, the 9-year-old girl who lost her arm after being injured in an attack near Kiev, ended at the Bambino Gesù hospital in Rome. The operation, carried out by a team led by Professor Pier Francesco Costici – the Adnkronos learns from the hospital – went well. It was a preparatory operation for the subsequent limb prosthesis. Waiting for Sasha in the room of the Palidoro headquarters of the hospital were her mother, her paternal aunt and Carla Iannucci, from the non-profit organization “Amici per la pelle”, who through a volunteer recovered her little girl in Ukraine and brought to safety in Italy. “When she entered the room and found her mother, the little girl finally cried. Until today she had held back her tears, sometimes she could even smile. The mother was worried that her daughter was holding everything inside, but today she let it out. . I was moved, but at the same time I was delighted that she let off steam “, Iannucci told Adnkronos. As for Sasha’s mother, “the lady is tried and sad, she cries for the death of her husband, Sasha’s stepfather, which happened in front of her eyes. Today while we were waiting for the baby in the hospital courtyard, a helicopter passed by and she froze with fright. She explained to me that in Ukraine when they heard helicopters, they expected gunshots. ” The non-profit organization “Amici per la pelle”, which for years has been involved in transferring children in need of treatment to Rome from other countries, has already recovered and rescued about fifteen young patients since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. “And we are waiting for others, always war wounded. Some amputees, even in worse conditions than Sasha’s. We never stop, day and night. We only care about the children, we took care of them before the war and we will continue to do it “, concludes Iannucci.
