Description
Hi, my name is Jarek and I’m 54 years old. In 2012, my life changed forever. I suffered an ischaemic stroke affecting the brainstem, which left me with quadriplegia and a complete loss of speech. I have been bedridden for 13 years and cannot even sit up unaided. Every day is a struggle for me, and my only support is my wife and children, on whose help I am completely dependent.
The biggest challenge I face is not being able to go outside. I live on the second floor, and the stairs are an insurmountable obstacle for me. I dream of the moment when I can feel the fresh air on my face and see the world beyond the four walls of my room.
A stairclimber is a device that could change my life. With it, I could navigate the stairs and enjoy moments in the fresh air. Unfortunately, the cost of such a device is beyond my means.
That is why I am turning to you with a huge request for help. Every donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to realising my dream of regaining at least a little independence and freedom. Your support can make me feel part of the world I love so much once again.
Please, help me to buy a stairclimber. Together, we can make my life just a little bit easier and happier.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for any help you can offer.
Warm regards, Jarek
