Hi everyone,

I am Marek, I was born with one kidney and at the age of 4 I was condemned to live with a stoma as a result of a medical error, I spent a large part of my childhood in hospitals and until now hospitals are a big part of my life. I've never felt sorry for myself, I've always been of the opinion that others have it harder so I have nothing to complain about.

I've managed to cope somehow all my life, regardless of my illnesses. Unfortunately, in August 2023, I ended up in critical condition in the ICU, my only kidney stopped working and fluids accumulated in my body instead of being excreted, the excess of fluids in my body was as much as 14 kg, as a result of which my lungs were flooded and it was impossible to breathe.

Since then I have been on dialysis three times a week for 4 hours at a time. Despite everything, I am not giving up, I have already managed to do all the tests for a kidney transplant which is the only chance I have of returning to a relatively normal life.

Every day I am getting weaker and weaker, I find it more and more difficult to walk because all my muscles hurt, my legs swell and make it difficult to move.

However, I still work in security, after all, you have to live on something and my retired mum would not be able to support us on her own, it is hard without my dad, he passed away unexpectedly in his sleep in November 2022.

I don't have high hopes for this collection because I am aware that there are people who need this help more than I do. However, I am no longer able to cope on my own and I don't know how long I will be able to live "as it is".

Every contribution, even the smallest one, is a contribution which will relieve me of the financial burden at least to a small extent, I have been fighting illness all my life and I still have to cope with it myself, but with finances I need support.

For every donation, even the smallest one, I will be extremely grateful and I will repay you by being a good person too....
