In Hungarian (English version below):

I'm Dorottya Richter, 32 years old, musician, mother of two small children, Matilda 3, Matyi 7.

After a long history, in May 2024 a brain tumour was finally removed. The surgery was successful, but it had several consequences: balance problem, right hand and foot coordination disorder, right facial paralysis with loss of sensation, right hearing loss.

Currently my 3 year old daughter is faster and more agile than me, so I can't go out with the children without another adult. I find it difficult to climb stairs, drive, write, earn money. I graduated from the Music Academy in 2015 with a degree in cello and I also play the viola da gamba, but since the operation I have no control of my right hand, so I can't play my instruments. It is very limiting and puts too much on my environment.

There is a therapy that works specifically on the cerebellum, which in my case is the starting point of all the problems, as the tumour was there. This therapy works mainly on the sense of balance and coordination, promoting self-healing processes in the brain and increasing neuroplasticity. My doctors tell me to go for it, because if anything, it will help! At the moment this therapy is only available half way around the world in Canada, so it's very expensive just to get out, and there the treatment alone costs 6 million forints.

I am saving up for this treatment so I can be my old self again:

Thank you so much for all your help!

In English:

My name is Dorottya Richter, I am 32 years old, a musician, and the mother of two young children.

After many treatments and a prior brain surgery 10 years ago, a tumor was finally removed from my brain in may 2024. The surgery was successful - it removed the tumor completely- but it left me with several complications: balance issues, coordination problems in my right hand and leg, facial paralysis with loss of sensation on the right side, and hearing loss on the right side.

At the moment, my 3-year-old daughter is quicker and more agile than I am, so I can't go out with the children alone without another adult. Stairs are difficult for me, I can't drive, write, or earn an income. I graduated from the Liszt Academy of Music in 2015 as a cellist and also play the viola da gamba, but since the surgery, I have lost control of my right hand and can no longer play my instruments. This condition is extremely limiting and places a heavy burden on those around me.

There is a specific therapy that targets the cerebellum-which in my case is the source of all the issues, as that's where the tumor was. This therapy focuses on balance and coordination, supports the brain's self-healing processes, and enhances neuroplasticity. According to my doctors, we should go for it, because if anything can help, this is it!

Currently, this therapy is only available in Canada-literally on the other side of the world-so even just getting there is very expensive, and the treatment itself costs more than €25,000.

I am raising funds for this therapy, and I am deeply grateful for any support!
