A child's future shouldn't wait 8 months. Emily needs a voic
Description
I never thought I would be writing this. My name is Mykola, I am 25, and I am fighting for my daughter's future.
After years of separation due to war and working abroad to survive, I finally reunited with my 4-year-old daughter, Emily. But our reunion was met with silence. She doesn't speak. She doesn't call me "Dad".
The Diagnosis (January 2026)
We just received the official results from the ADOS-2 clinical test. The verdict is heartbreaking: Autism Spectrum Disorder, Level 3 (High Support Needs).
Emily is non-verbal.
She requires constant care.
She is trapped in her own world.
(Please see the attached medical documents in the gallery below).
The Problem: We cannot wait until September
We are currently living in a small town in Poland. The public healthcare system (NFZ) has offered us a psychiatrist appointment in September.
For a 4-year-old child with autism, waiting 8 months without therapy is a catastrophe. It means losing the critical window for her brain to learn how to speak.
The Solution
We need to move to a large city immediately, where private specialists can accept Emily NOW, not in autumn.
Why we need $10,000?
I am working hard, but as a single income provider living in company housing, I cannot cover the upfront costs of this emergency move. Your donations will cover:
Immediate Relocation: Deposit and first months of rent for a safe apartment in a major city.
Private Therapy: Intensive speech therapy (logopedist) and sensory integration starting next week.
Medical Bills: Private psychiatrist consultations to confirm the diagnosis and get medication if needed.
I am her only hope.
I have been turned away by banks. I have no rich relatives. I only have my faith and you — people who care.
Please, help me bypass this 8-month wait. Every dollar brings Emily closer to her first word.
Thank you from the bottom of a father's heart.
