Hi, everyone. I'm Inna Karpenko, and I'm reaching out to ask for your support for my daughter, Natalie. She is about to be 19 years old, happy, and full of life. In 2023, she received a diagnosis of IGA Nephropathy stage 3b, a chronic kidney disease that was confirmed by a kidney biopsy. She increasingly is continuing to feel unwell, experiencing fatigue, pain, weakness, inflammation, and constant discomfort. This has been a challenging time for our family, but we are determined to do everything we can to get her the best possible care.

IgA Nephropathy is impacting Natalie’s kidney function, and without action, more damage will occur. Unfortunately, the treatment Natalie has been receiving for the past 2 years is not improving her condition.

After extensive research and consultations with specialists, we have found a promising treatment option in another country. This treatment offers a chance for her to stabilize and slow the progression of her disease, giving us hope for a brighter future.

However, traveling to another country and undergoing this specialized treatment comes with extra costs. We are facing expenses for travel, accommodation, medical bills, and post-treatment care. We are doing everything we can to manage these costs, but we need help to make this treatment a reality. Any contribution, big or small, will make a real difference in her journey to recovery. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and support.
