Before I found out...

---

It all started with a soft, whispering breeze, like a gentle premonition of what was to come. I lived life to the fullest, my heart filled with love, joy and gratitude. I have always been a kind and caring person. I have always been especially empathetic of those who are disabled or excluded. I have a deep love for animals, especially horses. I had the most amazing time traveling around Poland and I just couldn't stop taking pictures of everything to capture every moment. It's just one of the things I'm really passionate about, i love photography. I also have collected some lovely pieces of art and enjoy visiting galleries and museums. I'm a person who's really committed to relationships with people and nature, and to projects that promote healthy lifestyles, balance and conscious choices. I truly believe that life is a beautiful thing when we live it in harmony with ourselves and the world around us. I've had the pleasure of helping lots of entrepreneurs with their communication and marketing strategies. 

I had no idea that there was a ticking time bomb in my body.

You are not alone in your fight against pain, fear and uncertainty. Hospitals have become my second home, and the corridors, bathed in cold light, are a place where I fight the battle for life. Surgeries, embolizations, battery of testing - each procedure is like a battle with a beast that knows no mercy. Waiting for the results is an absolute killer, and it feels like hours and hours go by as I battle between hope and doubt. But I never give up, and I'm sure you wouldn't either! I've got so much to live for, like my family, my friends and all the dreams I still hold in my heart. But, my friends,  this struggle comes at a price, and literally..... Today, I'm facing the biggest challenge of my life, and I know that you're here to support me. I've got a disease that needs urgent surgery, so every day is a bit of a challenge. The risk of death is growing every moment I live with this in my brain, and the loss of my job has unfortunately left me unable to pay for treatment that is not available in my home country. I know how hard it is when you have to pay for foreign consultations, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, travel to specialists and daily life. It can eat up your savings in no time at all. I'm here for you and my whole family is too, so we'll help each other to get through this. So, I'm turning to you for help. Every little bit you can give, whether it's in zloty, dollars or euros, will mean the world to me. It will give me another chance to breathe, to get back to a normal life. 

That's why I'm turning to you - to people with big hearts who believe that life is worth fighting for.....
