Help Me Rebuild My Life After My Stroke – 2 Years On

Donation protected
Two years ago, my life changed in an instant.

I suffered a stroke that turned everything upside down — physically, emotionally, and mentally. In fact the doctors told me I was just 4 hours from dying. It was the darkest time of my life.

What once felt normal became a daily challenge. Simple things many take for granted… walking, speaking, focusing, even just having energy — suddenly required strength, patience, and relentless determination.

But I’m still here. And I’m still fighting.

Over the past two years, I’ve pushed myself every single day to recover, rebuild, and regain as much independence as possible. There have been small wins, setbacks, intense pain and moments where giving up felt easier… but I haven’t stopped.

Now, I have the opportunity to access further specialist treatment and rehabilitation that could significantly improve my recovery and quality of life.

Unfortunately, the costs for the treatment are way more than I can manage alone.

The Comeback… and the Setback

Through intense rehabilitation, I made progress.

I fought every day to regain movement, strength and independence.

And for a moment… it felt like I was getting my life back.

But recovery from a stroke isn’t linear.

Over time, my condition began to decline again.

Now I face:

- Ongoing weakness on my left side

- Difficulty walking

- Constant fatigue

- Breathing issues during sleep (sleep apnea)

- Emotional and mental challenges that come with it

Why I Need Your Help

I had an appointment on April 2nd 2026 with a specialist doctor in Budapest, Hungary details below:





Doctors have confirmed that I now need long-term, specialised rehabilitation to stabilise and improve my condition.

This includes advanced treatments like:

- Oxygen therapy

- Carbon dioxide therapy

- Intensive neurological rehabilitation

These treatments are not available locally — only in Hungary, requiring extended stays and ongoing care.

Below is a breakdown of the costs:

Barack Medical Facility Treatment 1 week every month for 12 months

£22,433

Immigration Lawyer to arrange Residency permit in Hungary

£3,928

Oxygen Therapy

£8,046

Travel Costs

£2,265

Total

£36,672

And this is where I need your help.

This Is About More Than Money… It’s About My Future Well Being.

Without continued treatment, my condition will worsen.

I risk losing even more mobility… and independence.

But with the right support, there is real hope:

✨ To regain strength

✨ To improve my movement

✨ To live a more normal, independent life again

With your help and support…It can make a real difference ❤️

I don’t ask for help lightly.

But right now, I truly need it.

Every donation — no matter how big or small — brings me one step closer to recovery.
