Dear tax collectors.

My name is Marian, I live in Hungary. I am an experienced sick person. I have raised 2 children in my life, and I have done my best at work. I grew up without parents and had a very difficult childhood and adulthood. I was sick a lot which took its toll on my body and physical condition. My illnesses included, herniated discs, goitre, diabetes, paraplegia. My biggest problem, apart from these, which makes my days and my right to a normal everyday life very difficult, is a brain tumour. I have a slow but long standing tumour behind my left eye which is in contact with my brain and meninges and is pushing out my eye socket, making it difficult and causing constant severe pain, eye discharge and poor vision at all times. So I have very poor vision with this eye and increasingly poor vision with the other. Unfortunately, there have been several occasions when my eyeball has fallen out of place and suddenly, very frightened, I have barely held it and had to put it back in place myself with great difficulty. This disease is fatal and unfortunately very difficult and expensive to operate on. Over the years I have tried everything in my power to deal with this situation, with medication, alternative solutions, nutritional supplements. I have tried everything in my power but as it can only be cured by surgery there is not much I can do about it. I would very much like to ask those who read this letter that if you feel the urge to help a person in such difficulty and want to help, please send support for my surgery so that I can live my days in a more dignified way. Thank you for reading and understanding my plight.

Sincerely Marianna.
