Helena has to undergo one of the most painful surgeries! Fight with us for a better tomorrow for her!

We learned about Hela’s spine problems when she was 13 years old. A doctor measured the Cobb angle to be 42 and 49 degrees...We were terrified because the scoliosis was in an advanced stage!

We started treatment with an orthopaedic corset, physiotherapy under the National Health Fund and privately, and exercises at home – Schroth Method. Despite wearing the corset for 20 hours a day, two rehabilitation stays and physiotherapy — the curvature worsened.

Hela has to cope with pain and difficulty breathing every day. We did everything possible to avoid the surgery. Unfortunately, now we know, that surgery is unavoidable, despite our tremendous effort. But before the surgery, Helena needs to prepare:  additional rehabilitation stays, regular physiotherapy and massages.

The aim is to alleviate the pain and improve breathing (the curvature presses on the lungs) and to strengthen the whole body before this difficult procedure. The surgery is planned for 4 August 2026, and we have to be ready by then. 

Unfortunately the costs of treatment and rehabilitation are enormous and although it is not easy for us, we have to ask for your help! Each zloty, share, or pledging 1.5% of tax is very meaningful. Every brick will help us build a mobile and painless future for Hela.
