Let's save Adrianna's life!

Update September 12th:

Soon Ada will turn six months old. The 4th to the 6th month of her life - this is the range identified by cardiac surgeons at Stanford as the best for surgery. Therefore, we already know that we won't make it....

However, we talked to the doctors, asked them what to do next. They said that Ada still has a chance, but the sooner the surgery takes place, the better. Every day her lungs are at risk of irreversible changes! With each day of her breathing, the clock is ticking down another escaping minute, another priceless hour - time we are still racing against, to save our daughter!

Ada is tiny, unaware of the judgment that is upon her. Every day she wakes up with a wide smile on her face. However, the smile quickly turns into a cry when, led by her natural curiosity about the world, she tries to turn around to reach for her toys. It's a tremendous effort for her ailing heart.... The instinct to grow pushes her forward, but her lungs refuse to cooperate.... She gets tired, cries.... Our hearts break as we watch her effort every day. Our hearts break because we know there is a rescue, but we can't afford to pay the gigantic price for our daughter's life!

We don't know what will happen tomorrow, even in an hour! A defect in the heart and lungs at any moment can make Ada's condition suddenly and dramatically deteriorate! Then it will be too late for rescue....

We beg you for help! Ada can still have a normal childhood, have a chance to grow up and live a long life! Without urgent surgery at Stanford, she has a few years left, and maybe a few months left....

Please help us save our daughter!

Apart from the fact that her face has a blue tint, and there are blue veins on her arms and legs, Ada does not show that she is terminally ill ... Every day she smiles at us, gestures frantically with her hands and feet to express her satisfaction. When she falls asleep, she sleeps with that one-of-a-kind, unique expression of angelic innocence on her face. Adrianna is a beautiful, charming, beloved child and we dream that we could watch her develop.

However, Ada was born with a sentence - a very sick heart. Her defect is fatal, without surgery, children with this type of defect die after several years...

Adrianna was born in March 2023. We already knew that her heart was sick - it was shown by midterm tests during pregnancy. Until the end, however, we believed that the defect would not turn out to be THAT serious. We believed that an operation in Poland is enough for her to live happily ever after - because that's how we imagined the future for her...

Today we cannot provide her with this, today we must fight so that she can live.

The extreme form of Tetralogy of Fallot - that's the verdict. We heard from cardiologists to prepare for the worst ... This is a very complicated heart defect in which there is no flow path from the left ventricle of the heart to the pulmonary vessels. Ada lives only thanks to the abnormal, tiny vessels created in fetal life that connect Her aorta with her lungs. However, the blood flows under very high pressure, directly to several places in the lungs and does not reach all the vessels evenly, which literally destroys Her lungs. The examination performed on the fifth day of her life showed the features of pulmonary emphysema!

In this form, it is a very rare defect. And that's why it's so dangerous...

As long as Ada was in Mom's tummy, she was safe, her blood was oxygenated through the placenta and umbilical cord. When she was born, she began to die ... She was immediately taken from the delivery room to intensive care due to falling saturation. When we could see her again, through the glass of the incubator, connected to numerous tubes and sensors, our hearts burst with pain. We spent the first weeks of her life in the hospital. Ada was discharged due to a relatively stable condition, but we know that in order for her to live, she will have to return there many times...

Children with this defect are usually operated on when they are over a year old. However, on the advice of Polish doctors, we consulted Ada's case with a clinic in Stanford, USA. From there came the message: we need to operate as soon as possible!

We are ready for it, we have been getting used to the idea that our daughter will end up in the operating room, where her life will hang in the balance. In Stanford there is the best clinic in the world specializing in this type of defects. That's why we want to fly there - to give Ada the best chance at life! In Poland, doctors do not yet see indications for surgery, because the daughter's condition is stable. In the US, they want to operate right now, before things get worse! Several teams of cardiothoracic surgeons will operate at Stanford, and they will take turns during the hours-long operation. In addition, they have the most modern equipment and experience there - they have already saved many children who were not given a chance in Europe.

We are parents and we must fight for our daughter's life, for the best chance for her! Unfortunately, the operation in the US costs over 2,5 milion dollars.

This huge sum, which we do not have and which we have not even dreamed of, we have to collect ourselves and we are counting on your help.

My husband and I love music and we play instruments. Music brought us together and we believed that in the future we would be able to share this passion with our dream daughter. Every person sensitive to beauty has a favorite melody. Today, the most beautiful melody flowing into the world for us is the rhythm of Adrianna's heartbeat. We cannot reconcile ourselves to the thought that this melody could be silenced so quickly, once and for all...

With all our hearts, we are asking for help and rescue for the very sick heart of our only daughter! We have no other option, we won't be able to get such a huge amount on our own...

Every, even the smallest contribution counts - we also ask you to share the collection further on social media. THANK YOU!
