<div>My name is Mariia, and I am a former Cirque du Soleil performer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Two years ago, I suffered a life-changing fall while working in the United States. The accident caused multiple facial fractures and required major reconstructive surgery and a wrist surgery. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Although I survived and worked hard to recover, I continue to live with persistent double vision and other long-term complications. Recent medical evaluations confirmed ongoing problems affecting my vision, jaw, facial symmetry, breathing, and daily life. Doctors have recommended additional treatment and surgeries. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For a long time, I believed I would recover, return to work, and handle everything on my own. That is why I never opened a fundraiser, even when people offered to help after my accident.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, ongoing medical, insurance, legal, and immigration complications have made my situation increasingly difficult. My access to treatment remains uncertain, and I cannot fully return to my profession while my future surgeries are still ahead of me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds raised will help cover medical appointments, specialist consultations, diagnostic testing, travel expenses related to treatment, legal expenses connected to my case, and future surgeries.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For years, I shared my knowledge and experience online without ever asking for financial support. Today, I am asking for help because I can no longer manage these expenses alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation or share of this fundraiser means more than I can express. Thank you for supporting my recovery.
</div>
