Hello everyone,

My name is Filip. For two long years, I've been living with the weight of a tough groin injury that has forced me to step away from sport. Sport isn't just something I like; it's my whole life. I'm studying kinesiology with one goal: to help other people get moving, reach their athletic dreams, and bounce back. The sad part is, I'm supposed to help others, yet I'm currently unable to even help myself.

I had surgery, which gave me a little hope, but getting back to 100% needs something I just can't pay for as a student – an expensive medicine that helps tissue heal. Its cost is way out of my league. I've seen 21 different therapists and doctors so far, and every single euro of my savings, everything I've saved up over the years, went straight to countless check-ups and therapies. I'm financially wiped out and mentally drained.

This injury has also stolen precious time from me. I've already had to extend my university studies, and I watch my classmates move forward while I'm stuck, trapped in my own body, wondering what I'm supposed to do next. It really hurts that my mission is to help, but I'm powerless right now. This is a huge challenge, and I'm fighting it with everything I've got.

Please, give me a chance to return to what I love. Every bit you contribute brings me a step closer to getting healthy again, a step closer to being that athlete who wants to selflessly help other athletes and just enjoy sports. Let me feel strong again, learn, and finally live out my calling. I can't wait for the day I'm back on the field, not just as an athlete, but as a pro who'll use my knowledge and experience to help others with their own struggles.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the hope you're giving me.

Sincerely,
