My dear! I know you are out there.
School friends scattered nationwide, former work associates, and you, people of great heart, I desperately seek your help.
This nauseating truth, which
is hardly acceptable to me and has long made my life quite
abnormal, is an incurable disease called LIMPHANGIOLEIOMIOMATOSIS
(LAM), which was diagnosed in my body in 2007.
Doctors from the Silesian Pulmonary Diseases University Medical Center of Zabrze made it clear from the very beginning: there is no chance of recovery, and only some hope of halting the progression. I was hospitalized, but now it is already known: not only it proved completely ineffective, but also the disease is progressing very fast. There are no medications left to treat me...The rupture of my left lung, which occurred last June, and a tremendous impairment of my respiratory system, which forces me to use oxygen even at home, demonstrate a true invasion of my condition.
Lung transplant is the only alternative that could save my life.
Lung transplant is not common in Poland yet. As a matter of fact, a few surgeries a year is a drop in the ocean of needs.
I knew two women, my dear mates from the hospital rooms in Zabrze, who dreamt of a new lung and had great plans for their lives after transplant. And so they spent a couple of months. Sadly, they are dead now. Being aware that my six-year-old daughter might be left without her mother encourages me to raise desperately the funds needed for my transplant surgery in Vienna. Each year a hundred or so such surgeries are performed there, which actually means a shorter wait for the donor. Although for some time my whole family have been giving me all their savings for this purpose,
I will not be able to raise the exorbitant €100,000 without your help.
My time is running faster now. I live life as if each day were my last, but I belong to those (perhaps naive) people who believe that all human beings are good by nature, as well as sensitive and willing to help. From my own experience, I know that helping not your family, which is obvious, but strange people can bring you great satisfaction. This is what I wish all those who decide to transfer some money to my account.
