"If you saw me walking down the street, you would probably think I am perfectly fine. I smile, I talk, I try to live normally. But what you cannot see is the constant battle raging inside my body. Behind every smile is pain I cannot escape. Behind every step I take is a hidden struggle that most people will never understand. My condition is invisible to the outside world, but it is destroying me on the inside."

"Living with an illness that no one can see is one of the hardest things a person can go through. People look at me and say, ‘You look healthy.’ But the truth is, my health is crumbling, and I carry a weight that words can barely describe. My medical records exist, but they are all in Latvian a language that many outside my country cannot even read. It makes my fight even more lonely, because proof of my suffering is locked away in documents most cannot understand."

"I urgently need surgery that could change my life. I need rehabilitation to learn how to live again. I need medication to manage the pain and to keep fighting. But the costs are overwhelming, and without donations, I cannot make it. Surgery costs are only estimated for now, and rehabilitation and medication will only be calculated once treatment begins. This uncertainty makes it even harder, because I am trapped between pain and hope, knowing that without help, healing is impossible."

"There are days when the pain is so strong that it feels like I will collapse. There are nights when I cannot sleep, when tears fall because I wonder how long I can endure this. I often hide my suffering, because I don’t want to be a burden to others. But the truth is, I cannot do this alone anymore. I need help. I need compassion. I need people who are willing to open their hearts and stand with me in this fight."

"Every donation, no matter how small, is a lifeline. €5, €10, €50 it doesn’t matter the size, what matters is the love behind it. Your donation is not just money it is a gift of life, a chance for me to breathe easier, to live without unbearable pain, and to believe in tomorrow again. Your kindness has the power to turn my hidden tears into hope, to turn my silent suffering into healing."

"I am not asking for luxury. I am not asking for comfort. I am simply asking for the chance to get the treatment that could save my health and give me back my life. I know there are many causes out there, but if my story touches your heart, please consider donating. Every act of generosity is a step toward healing, a step toward freedom from pain, a step toward life itself."

*"Though my illness cannot be seen, your compassion can make its impact visible. Together, we can turn despair into hope. Together, we can turn pain into healing. Your donations will give me not just medical treatment, but the chance to live with dignity, to smile without hiding pain, and to dream of a healthier tomorrow.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading my story, for believing in me, and for helping me fight this invisible battle. Your kindness is the light I hold onto in my darkest moments."*
