Sepsis has almost killed him… We need you to help our injured boy, Kuba!

Terrible wounds on his hands and feet, mutilations that made him disabled - all because of sepsis. The disease came from nowhere, suddenly taking away our happiness. We thought that it would take our son from us .. Kuba was only 18 months old and suffering so badly. He survived; he is with us still! Unfortunately, cruel injuries took away his dexterity. Our son has had part of his foot amputated. We ask for help, because only one doctor in the world can give him a chance for a normal life ...

Kuba's condition deteriorated second by second. He was hospitalized in critical condition, only his heart was still beating ... They said that it was not known whether he would survive. They gave no guarantee, but we prayed. Fortunately, God gave our son one more life!

Kuba had enough strength to overcome everything. However, it turned out that this is not the end of our fight ... Sepsis gave him necrotic changes on the legs and hands. The fingers could not be saved ... The left foot suffered the most - there is the largest tissue defect. In the place where the heel was once, now the bone protrudes. Kuba cannot walk because of it ...

In June of last year, my son underwent bone shortening surgery. Several months have passed, the bone has grown, Kuba is having problems with walking again. It hurts so much ... I see a son who suffers so much. He doesn't understand that he was very sick, that he is now disabled. He would only like to be like other children ...

I’m also afraid that continuous shortening of the bones will make Kuba even more seriously disabled ... Unfortunately, the doctors taking care of my son are not able to help... Recently, however, hope reappeared!

Kuba can live like a healthy child, walk normally! Doctor Paley, a world-famous American orthopaedist, specializes in treating such rare, severe defects that my son has. Recently, this type of operation was conducted only in the USA. Today it also operates in Poland!

We have recently been to consultations. After hearing Kuba’s case, the doctor assured me that my son would have both legs 100% functional! However, for this to happen, he needs to have a foot surgery, and this operation comes at a high cost. It's money we don't have, and we can't get easily...

Kuba’s surgery is scheduled for April this year. It will be a reconstruction of the right and left legs - transfer of tibial tendons and fixation of the inner calcaneus in both legs. The cost of such an operation is over 300 thousand zlotys ... This is a huge amount, but if the operation was to take place in the U.S, it would be even greater! It doesn't change the fact that we can't afford it ... It is very hard for us to look our son in the eye and he can’t have surgery, because we aren’t rich. We can't ... We had to try everything, so we decided to ask for help, believing in a miracle ...

Kuba is my ray of sunshine on even the worst days. There is nothing more beautiful for us than his smile. The more that we are aware that he might not be with us today ... Sepsis cruelly mutilated him, took the chance for a normal life, sentenced to disability. This, however, can be fixed! Please, help Kuba undergo surgery, which is his only hope.

Karina, Kuba’s mom.
