If you help me to make the first step, I'll do further steps on my own/ Improve my health, save my kidneys

Everything changes, but my life stands still. Every day seems to look alike. If I did not have hope, nothing would have sense, all the effort would be in vain. I am 22, I had a brain haemorrhage and I was given a terrifying diagnosis – cerebral palsy. I am trapped in the world of everlasting dreams. Because of one, ruptured blood vessel, my life goes on in the shadow of disability. Mum told me, that I was healthy for one day only. Then, everything changed...

I was born prematurely. After one day, some serious complications appeared. First, my lung collapsed. Then I had a brain hypoxia and haemorrhage. Doctors fought a battle for my life. They won, but the effects are disastrous. I cannot walk, my hands are not fully agile. As it was not bad enough,  I have a neurogenic bladder, that makes it all much harder....

We need to be in motion to live. A lack of motion affects all the organs. First I started to suffer from nephrolithiasis, my bowels stopped working rightly and scoliosis came up. And it seems to be the tip of the iceberg only....

I am really afraid of my kidneys. In the last years, I had four nephritides, that involved hospitalization and antibiotics, that affected and deteriorated my immunity. All my life is ancillary to take care of my kidneys. I am doing my best to keep fighting and live against the odds. But I've got limited options.

As water loosens spasticity and muscle contractions, swimming and hydrotherapy were really effective. Unfortunately, because of numerous, recurring nephritides, I had to give it up. Moreover, I suffer from many allergies. Therefore, I also had to give up hipotherapy, that used to relieve the pain of strained muscles. Even massages cause an allergy and rash. So my rehabilitation consists in passive, painful muscle stretching and verticalization in an old equipment, that only intensifies the pain.

I am only 22 and I'd like to live a happy, normal life, like a healhy, average girl at my age. But I know it is impossible. I know, I'll never go to the toilet on my own, I'll never dress myself up and I'll never start walking. But I also know, that I cannot give up just like that!

I believe that there still are many beautiful moments ahead. I have many dreams and goals to achieve. I'd like to write my first novel and keep developing my passion for English. However, my greatest dream is to help my ailing parents. And I must become more independent to do this.

There is no happy medium for my disease, but there is Innowalk Medium – a special, mobile equipment, that improves whole the body. As I had a chance to try it, I know that it works and would improve the comfort of my life.  It takes the pain away and first of all, it prevents nephritides and osteoporosis.  Unfortunately, as often happens, it is very expensive,  non-refundable and I cannot afford it. 

I know that there is a very diffcult pandemic time now. But I cannot give up without the fight. My disease is not deadly, but it never lolls. I am afraid, that my condition is gonna get worse, because now in the pandemic times, there is a constricted access to comprehensive rehabilitation. I cannot let it happen. I would like to have an effective weapon to fight my disease at home. Innowalk is that weapon. That's why I am asking for help, from the bottom of my heart.
