Dear friends,
My name is Mirela Dondea, and I’m reaching out to share my story. Since 2016, I have been battling Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), a condition that has taken away my independence, my ability to care for my family, and the life I once knew. FND is an invisible illness that causes excruciating pain, seizures, spasms, and loss of basic functions like speaking, eating, and even breathing. On some days, I struggle just to sit or stand. On "good" days, I push through, but the fatigue and pain are ever-present.
But through it all, I keep fighting. I find strength in small victories, like cooking a meal or tidying my home. Despite the toll this illness takes, I refuse to give up. My love for life, my hope, and my will to keep moving forward remain unshaken. The generosity of kind-hearted people has made it possible for me to access treatments that I would never have been able to afford alone, giving me more good days than I thought possible.
A New Challenge: Invasive Breast Cancer
However, my journey is far from over. In addition to FND, I’ve recently been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. The road ahead is uncertain, and in a few days, I will undergo a breast amputation, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The physical, emotional, and financial toll of these treatments is overwhelming.
But even in the face of cancer, I remain determined. I will fight with the same resilience that has carried me through FND. Cancer may take parts of me, but it will not take my spirit or my capacity for hope.
How You Can Help
The financial burden is immense. Medical expenses, treatments not covered by insurance, fuel costs to get to appointments, and life-saving care weigh heavily on my family and me. I live on a disability pension, which barely covers our basic needs, and my husband cannot work because he is my primary caregiver.
This is where I need your help.
I’ve always used my art, painting, sculpting, and crocheting, as a source of healing and expression. Now, it is also my lifeline. Each piece I create is more than just art; it’s a reflection of my strength, my journey, and my will to survive. When you purchase my artwork or make a donation, you’re not just getting a handmade creation, you’re investing in my chance to live, heal, and provide for my family.
I am selling my paintings and creations separately to help fund my medical treatments. If you're interested in purchasing a piece or commissioning something, please reach out to me trough a message here
. You can also make a donation to my GoFundMe page, which will directly support my treatments and family.
Every Contribution Counts
Every donation, big or small, will directly support my medical treatments, help maintain my health, and provide for my family. For those who purchase my art, know that every piece carries my deepest gratitude and a reminder of your role in my fight. Your support will allow me to continue my treatments, stay hopeful, and move forward on this journey toward healing.
How You Can Support
Purchase My Art: Every piece of art you buy supports my medical treatments and my independence. Please reach out to me directly for art inquiries.
Make a Donation: No matter the amount, every donation helps me cover medical bills, treatment costs, and daily expenses.
A Final Word of Thanks
I know there are many people asking for help, and I don’t take your generosity lightly. Your support will help me continue fighting, help me live, create, and provide for my family. More than that, it will remind me that I am not alone on this journey. Your kindness is a light in the darkest of times, and I will carry it with me every step of the way.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Thank you for your generosity and your belief in my strength. Your support truly makes all the difference.
With all my heart,
Mirela Dondea
