Dear friends, kind hearts, and compassionate souls,

We are reaching out to you today on behalf of a beautiful and brave 16-year-old girl named Ilna.

Just a short time ago, Ilna was living a typical teenage life—filled with dreams, laughter, and all the hopes a young girl carries. But everything changed when she was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, a rare and life-altering disease that affects only 1 in a million people.

After undergoing a major operation to help manage this condition, Ilna's life has changed dramatically. She is now living with a severe disability and requires ongoing, specialized medical treatment and care. This sudden and devastating turn has not only impacted her physically and emotionally, but has also placed an immense financial burden on her family.

Her mother is doing everything she can to provide for Ilna’s new needs—medical equipment, treatments, therapy, transportation, and home adaptations—but it has become more than they can handle alone.

We are starting this GoFundMe campaign to help alleviate the pressure on Ilna’s family and to ensure she can receive the care, support, and comfort she needs. Every contribution—no matter how small—will make a difference. Even a few dollars/pounds/euros can help lift a bit of the weight off this family's shoulders and bring hope into a home that needs it right now.

If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this campaign with your network. Awareness is also a powerful gift.

Let’s come together to support Ilna—so she can continue to smile, heal, and find joy in life again.

With all our gratitude,
