Wiktoria has no intention of giving up. This year, she plans to improve her high school exams to get into her dream medical school and become a pediatrician. Despite difficult days and weakness, she sits down with books and learns chemistry and biology. This goal gives her the strength to fight.

“Pain demands to be felt” – this quote from one of the films perfectly captures what palliative patients feel. Cancer is not only a disease of the body, but also a huge burden on the soul and psyche.

My goal is to live life - fully, consciously and beautifully, and my intention is to experience and celebrate it in health, happiness, love, sun and dance. I believe that everything that appears in my life has its time and meaning.

Money doesn't buy happiness, but it does buy time and opportunities, which I really need right now. Fighting cancer is not only about fighting the disease, but also about huge financial burdens.

I am brave and determined in this unequal fight with the disease – I will not give up until the end. It is my family – my husband who is always with me, my granddaughter, son and my loved ones – who give me the strength to fight.

My biggest dream is to see my children grow up, fulfill their plans and dreams. I want to be with them in these important moments, support them and enjoy shared moments with my husband.

I draw strength to fight from the love of my husband, children, grandchildren, family and friends who are with me every day and give me the motivation not to give up.

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.
