Fundraiser description
Ola's eyesight is seriously threatened. As a result of a long fight, she lost vision in one eye. Now we must do everything to save the rest of her eyesight. Help!
____
When you find out that your child has no chance to see the world as it is, it seems that the mother's heart breaks into many pieces. At the moment when it turns out that there is a chance to be protected, although part of what is lost the fight remains to the end.
When Ola was born, it was clear that her life would be very different from her peers. All because of eye disease - congenital cataract and persistent pupillary membrane of both eyes did not indicate anything good. However, we still had a shadow of hope that the disease would not overcome us and thanks to the help of doctors we could save some part of our eyesight. In 2013, we still had hope - from January to July, the fight between doctors for the left eye was continued. Unfortunately, we lost this battle. The disease took a terrible toll, taking Ola's gaze from one eye.

This is a painful blow in our history, but it did not mean the end of the hard battle for us. We knew that we faced a serious challenge, because everything depends on the outcome of this fight. The future of the child is completely depend on a series of happy cases, the experience of doctors and a disease that is still lurking around the corner. The pressure was all too felt.
The only salvation in our situation is the ICare device, which can measure the pressure most accurately on a person with large nystagmus, such as Ola has. I want to buy it because then I would be able to measure eyeboll pressure anytime and react quickly if necessary. This allows you to protect what is left of Ola's sight. In our case, there is no hope of regaining sight, but in the fight for my daughter's better tomorrow, every minute counts. Glaucoma means that when something is wrong, we are tight for time to react ... What we can do is have our finger on the pulse ... in every situation, especially when access to doctor's offices and visits to specialists are limited. For us, deterioration means only one thing - the intervention of doctors, the effects of which we are not able to predict or the loss of what we have been fighting for the whole family for many years.
Ola is very sensitive, the music calms her down a lot. Sometimes, when she plays the violin, I get the impression that she is able to express more than she says on a daily basis. For her, living with illness is a cursed reality, but the only one she knows. I could ask myself the question "why?" But for many years I have done it hundreds of times. Now all I can do is fight for her and for her. The device that Ola's salvation costs tens of thousands of PLNs. The amount that we do not have and we will not get alone. Especially since we must act immediately. The disease will not wait for us to arrange help, attack in the least expected moment. We are not ready for such a blow...
Ola receives the world in a completely different way than the people I meet. Is able to appreciate the true beauty of small things. The disease did not take away what was most important to her: sensitivity. I appeal to yours - if you can, help my daughter enjoy the view of the world for as long as possible. Together we can give her the best gift.
