HELP OUR MUM STAND ON LEGS! Only REHABILITATION gives hope!

Marianna Godlewska was a healthy and active person who suddenly became paralyzed. We believe she can walk, it is possible! First months of rehabilitation are crucial here. We ask for HELP for Mum for neurological rehabilitation in the rehabilitation center. The monthly cost was estimated at 24k PLN, and the rehabilitation should be for at least 2 years. For the family it is an unimaginably high cost, but we will do everything to put Mum on her feet ... let's do it TOGETHER! Let's collect for min. year of full rehabilitation! Remember THE GOOD COMES BACK! Every zloty counts!

Overnight, mom has become a disabled person.

Imagine that you are a healthy person who is full of strength, very active in sports, you ride a bicycle every day, go for a walk and suddenly ... "something blocks your legs and PARALYZES YOU from the waist down your body, YOU STOP WALKING, YOU DO NOT FEEL ANYTHING BELOW THE WAIST, you can't control physiological activities, doctors don't know what's going on exactly (!?). Over 2 months of hospital, hundreds of examinations ...

Judgment: Acute transverse myelitis
Very rare disease, affects 1 to 4 people in a million.

Cause: Not known. We are constantly looking for the opinions of specialists from all over Poland to find the cause.

Treatment: "only special neurological rehabilitation can help." Rehabilitation will be long-term: minimum 2 years.

Then rehabilitation under the National Health Fund for a few months. At present, my mother has finished her treatment limit from the National Health Fund and is staying in a country house with very limited access to specialists, physiotherapists, etc. My mother is currently in a wheelchair, has the first disability group and is completely dependent on third parties. The ONLY option for recovery is INTENSIVE REHABILITATION in a specialized center.
My mother was a PE teacher, she promoted sport and activity for several decades, and was very active herself. She supported many students, raised 4 children and became grandmother who helped looking after 7 grandchildren.

Mum is 60 years old, retired last year and it was her first summer as a retired person. She wanted to rest a bit after many years of work at school and have more time for grandchildren and her passions, for cycling, walking and swimming. She always said that sport was the best medicine for everything and she took it every day. Unfortunately, this year a tragedy happened and fate took away this opportunity from her. Now she has to fight for her health. Mom never complained, she was always support for the whole family and gave her HEART with a smile. She taught us that you must always fight for what you believe, also respect and support other people. NOW, the most important lesson is ahead of us and WE want to fight for her health, so that she can stand on her LEGS and never give up in this fight.

Will you help us in this unequal fight against the disease?
Remember THE GOOD COMES BACK! Every zloty counts, because TOGETHER with others it HAS THE POWER. We believe in the open hearts of good people ... we believe that MUM WILL STAND ON HER LEGS!
