HELP! Critically urgent! Save little Iga's life!

Update: 2.10.2024

Igunia is DYING, and she's only 17 months old! HELP! 

We are devastated! Our daughter was disqualified from treatment at a clinic in Germany, so we are currently searching for another clinic in Great Britain. 

We need funds, though - please help! 

Waiting for another treatment qualification seems to last forever when a child's life is at stake.

Iga's condition is getting worse! She's vomiting and becoming weak. Since last week, she's been cared for by hospice at-home service. 

We are helpless. We have no idea what else we can do to organize money for cancer therapy. Iga cannot die! In Poland, our baby girl can no longer undergo cancer surgery, though. 

Until there's hope for our child, we beg you for help!

We are fighting for our little daughter's life! When Igunia turned one year old, she received a diagnosis that was like a death sentence. She's been staying in the hospital for months! Please help us defeat cancer until it's too late!

For a while, Iga was developing like other children. One day, she stopped grabbing objects with her left hand. One of the pediatricians we saw referred us for an X-ray. We also consulted a surgeon. That didn't help much, though. 

We felt something was wrong. A real turning point was when a physical therapist recommended an appointment with a neurologist. We went to the hospital, where Iga underwent a head ultrasound. It turned out our baby girl had a brain tumor! 

After the MRI scan confirmed the diagnosis, the next day, cancer surgery took place. Unfortunately, since the tumor could not be removed entirely due to Iga's condition, another surgery had to be performed, which still did not remove the rest of the cancer. Later, it turned out that Iga had another tumor in the cerebellum!

At first, the doctors suspected a glioma, which made us go weak at the knees. However, we did not expect to hear much worse, final diagnosis - rare, stage 4 SHH-subtype atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor! 

At the beginning of May, Igunia underwent a procedure to insert a central line in her body to give chemo drugs. Our baby girl spent many days in the hospital and had eight procedures in total. Although the treatment was scheduled for 18 months, the last four chemo cycles have failed. 

Our world fell apart again. Iga soon requires another surgery to have an Ommaya reservoir placed in her brain to inject the chemo into it. It will be the most radical and aggressive type of chemo. We are devastated!

We've been searching for help everywhere. Since Iga cannot undergo another cancer surgery in Poland, we pin our hopes on the German clinic. We are begging you for support! We won't be able to pay for the treatment ourselves! We must do everything to save our beloved daughter's life.
