I am raising this fundraiser for my daughter, Madina Maljisevic. Madina is level 3 autistic, and since my husband passed away from a heart attack in 2021, I have been doing everything I can as a widow and full-time mom to care for her on my own. We do not have family in Kentucky from my mom’s side and Mirzas family has contributed so much and has given unconditional love to us. Some days feel very heavy. Madina has eating issues and will not eat solid foods, so I rely on Pediasure to help give her the nutrition she needs. I am currently unemployed because caring for her is my full-time responsibility, and there are times when I do not have enough money to keep food in the pantry for us.

Your support would help me provide for Madina’s most urgent needs, including her therapy, gas for transportation to and from appointments, and the Pediasure she depends on. I am also caring for my mother, who is on disability, and it hurts when I cannot do more for the people who need me. Even through these challenges, I try to stay positive and continue advocating for children and people with autism. I truly believe in never giving up hope, no matter what life brings. If you are able to donate or share our fundraiser, it would mean the world to us. From my heart, thank you for any kindness, support, love, and prayers you can give my family.
