I have someone to live for – I am needed by my teenage daughter, who bravely supports me. However, I cannot demand care from a 13-year-old! I am her mother and I should provide her with care, safety and a roof over her head.

I have been fighting for my life for 8 years, not giving up despite the pain, losses and challenges. This fight is still ongoing, but with your help I can have the strength to continue and overcome the adversity.

In November 2024, my daughter was born, and I don't want to deprive her of the opportunity to grow up with both parents. I dream of being able to go for a walk with my daughter or take her to kindergarten, holding her hand, and not leaning on crutches.

My biggest dream is stability – I want the cancer to “fall asleep” and give me some more time here on Earth, because I love life! Even though I am in stage IV of the disease, I want to cheat fate and live to old age.

However, I believe that what is impossible to achieve alone can become possible with the help of others. Together we can make this challenge surmountable.

I dream of getting well and watching my children grow up, enjoying every moment together. They remind me that it's worth fighting, no matter how hard the road is.

I WILL LIVE. For myself, for my two little boys, for my wife and family. I believe I will be among those lucky patients who not only survive 5 years after diagnosis, but much longer.

I am not just a patient. I am a mother and grandmother who has always tried to support others and share what she had. Today, I am the one who needs help and support to continue being there for my loved ones.

Every, even the smallest payment, is a huge support for me in this difficult fight. I believe that with your support I will be able to overcome the disease and return to a normal life – a life that I want to fight for so much, because I have someone to live for.

You can never be prepared for such a diagnosis, and certainly not when your country is ravaged by war. Due to the difficult conditions and limited opportunities in Ukraine, my family was forced to make a decision, the consequences of which we still feel today.
