My name is Marina, and I’m raising funds to cover medical costs for myself and my 17-year-old son, pay off debts, and finally rebuild a stable, healthy life.

I’m an interior and graphic designer with over 20 years of experience, but in recent years, life took an unexpected turn. I was diagnosed with resistant hypertension that doesn’t fully respond to medication and have a brain aneurysm, which puts me at high risk for stroke in combination with high blood pressure.

My son has severe insulin resistance, requiring treatment and proper nutrition that our insurance doesn’t cover.

After my brother’s sudden death from an aneurysm, I fell into financial difficulties and had to take a minimum-wage job just to survive. The work is physically demanding and worsens my condition, but it’s the only income we have. I receive no alimony or state support, and I also help my elderly parents with their small pensions.

The funds collected will be used to:

- Cover medical tests, treatment, and medications for me and my son

- Repay debts so I can leave the exhausting job and return to professional design work

- Ensure my son gets the care and nutrition he needs to stay healthy

- Provide basic living stability while I rebuild financially

I’m not asking for charity. I’m asking for a chance to restart. I have the skills, the experience, and the will to move forward. I just need this one push to get us back on track.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for helping us create a safer, healthier, and more stable future. Every contribution truly makes a difference.
