Support Norbert for recovery

Donation protected

My name is Aditya Ayyagari. I am raising this for a friend, Norbert. Here is his story:

Hi, my name is Norbert. :)   When I was 33, I lost my leg due to the necrosis of soft tissues, muscles and fasciae, extensive ulceration of the left crus, and my condition caused by the type 1 diabetes which has been with me for many years. 

Since that moment, my life has placed obstacles in my way which I have not always been able to defeat. I kept my life active before the amputation, I loved running. When I was in the last class of the Primary School, I ran and won for the first time, and that is when my passion has started, I was 15. This passion was developing until the decision was made to amputate my left leg. I felt fear, I couldn't find myself in this new situation, and also those phantom pains, so severe that I could not bear them. It was terrible. Back then I was not aware that my active life would be completely destroyed by the sickness, when I was so young.   I was crying that it has happened to me, that I cannot run anymore, I could not find my own way of functioning. However, the answer for that appeared in front of my eyes - computer and my fingers, which are healthy... Not so long ago, at the end of July, I was informed that my second leg is to be amputated. The doctor informed me that:

"There is no pulse... It must be amputated at the height of the thigh...When is the surgery going to be performed?". I was completely shocked, but it did not kill me and that is good... Honestly, it was the second time my world collapsed, but I have not given up.  

We ourselves have very little, only pensions, because both of us cannot work... Furthermore, there is a risk of thrombosis and I may have a heart attack or a brain stroke at any time... It is unbelievable, young, beautiful age, but everything is devastated due to this sickness. I live with hope that good people will help and I will come back one day with a proper prosthesis, which is incredibly expensive, but I believe that it is possible. I WANT TO COME BACK TO LIFE, MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE AND LIVE... 

I started to work very intensely - not physically, but mentally. I think, create and write a book about my life which has been difficult and it happens to be my new aspect of life. Putting my life on paper has taught me a lot, above all perseverance and how to overcome weaknesses. However, despite my cheerfulness, I am not able to cope with all of the problems which are still tormenting me. Am I ever going to live, live also with my passion, for example writing which I have recently loved? I have so much to say, but so little time...   Currently, I am at the stage of writing about my life in the secondary school and it all makes me extremely happy. I noticed that I have found my new life companion, which is my computer and keyboard, to write and write, and release something which can be fun and nice to read. I am sure that when I release my book, you will find it... 

I am angry at myself that I cannot live normally, just as others, and without the treatment I may suffer from thrombosis, strong heart attack and stroke which I may not survive. I still have so many plans for my life in my head, so much passion to live...

 

PLEASE HELP ME LEAD A FULFILLED LIFE AND SATISFY MY PASSION TO WRITE!! THANK YOU!!
