Fundraiser description

We feel blessed to be parents to such a wonderful young woman. From the moment we took her in our arms for the first time, we wanted her to be happy and healthy. That didn't happen, though. She's been suffering from scoliosis, that's ruining her health. 

Her extensive list of hobbies and interests, including gymnastics, singing, dancing, and swimming, proves she is ambitious. She wants to live her life to the fullest despite her disease – third-degree scoliosis, which is progressing and taking away everything she loves.

Every day, Marta suffers from acute back pain, and the scoliosis brace no longer helps ease the pain. Intense physical therapy has also failed to reverse the abnormal curvature.

The scoliosis has progressed. Over time, it can cause pressure on internal organs. Wearing the corset has affected Marta's digestion and breathing. When pain attacks her, she's on her own. It's heartbreaking to see her go through this! The only solution for her is surgery! 

Despite her condition, Marta is always eager to help others. During rehabilitation, she motivates small patients to exercise to fight the disease, encourages them to wear the corset, and gives them hope for recovery. Marta is sensitive, ready to help others, and dedicated. Ever since we can remember, Marta always tried to help those in need. She often took the time to listen to their problems, trying to find the right solution or resolve a conflict. She always takes part in school initiatives.  

All the Polish specialists we met recommended a spinal fusion procedure. However, its side effects include loss of spinal flexibility and mobility limitations. We cannot let that happen - Marta would have to say goodbye to sports activities! 

After many years of searching for another treatment option, we found a clinic in Milan, Italy, where Marta can undergo surgery (a non-fusion option) that guarantees quick and complete recovery and allows a full degree of motion. Unfortunately, it's expensive! 

We will be grateful for supporting our daughter on her road to recovery! Marta is about to become an adult. Scoliosis cannot stand in the way of her dreams and plans! Please donate!

The parents
