Help Tadzio's Heart: A Miracle in the Making
Donation protected
Do you believe in miracles? We do!
We experienced the first one in November last year - after many negatives pregnancy tests, we finally saw two lines. To say we felt happy it's underestimate , we were overjoyed!! Parents will understand.
Later things got complicated - during second trimester we found out that our miracle has a complex heart defect, but at that moment we did not yet know what it was connected with. Next, there were only tests and visits to the hospitals. On July 16 2024, a second miracle happened - Tadeusz was born - 3110 g of pure happiness and love. Tadzio showed his strength and bravery from the beginning. Despite his readiness for incubation, he breathed alone and received 10 Apgar points. For the first month, our home was a hospital. There Tadzio underwent the life saving Rashkind procedure and balloonnplasty of the pulmonary valve. There, for the first time, we heard that the correction of our son's heart is not possible. Doctors also did not rule out single chamber heart - a form of palliative treatment, i.e.
simply improving the quality of life until death. In a second our world collapsed. Our little heart, so defenseless and innocent. Such unaware... Then we promised ourselves that we would not give up and FIND HELP FOR TADZIO.
We started by changing the center in Poland. More visits to specialists, further tests and hospitals stays. Another center that immediately ruled out correction of the defect. Everyone said that it was impossible, that the anatomy of the heart was unfavorable. Will it be possible to keep two chambers? Perhaps they will try, but they do bot promise. Even if they keep them, it will only be a remedial treatment. They won't cure our son. They said we have to wait for Tadzio to grow up, but in the meantime we can consult his defect in another centers. Finally, we came to Geneva - quick consultations and the third miracle - WE WILL PERFORM A FULL CORRECTION OF THE DEFECT, WE WILL CURE TADZIO!
Tears of happiness and euphoria. Now we have to fight for the fourth miracle ahead of us - we have to raise over 255k $, the hospital in Geneva has valued the cure of our sweet Tadzio. From this place we ask for your help. Open your hearts!
I am praying for another miracle for my nephew Tadzio but before this can happen I am trying to help this young parents to be able to afford this. I can't imagine how it feels to try to save your child but couldn't afford it. So please if you can donate any amount. We are hoping we can get the money on time. It's Christmas time and we can make the best Christmas present for this family. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Beata
