Hi, my name is Mary, and I’m reaching out to you for help. I’m 24 years old and have been battling epilepsy for as long as I can remember. This condition has taken a tremendous toll on my life mentally, physically, and emotionally
Epilepsy has not only affected my daily life but also robbed me of the opportunity to pursue my dreams. I had to quit college even though I want finish my education and chase my dreams because my seizures kept getting worse, and I could no longer manage the stress. Despite all the love and support my family has given me, the seizures continued to intensify, leaving me in a constant state of fear
One of the scariest moments of my life happened when I had a seizure while cooking on an open flame. The accident almost took my life, and as a result, my face was severely disfigured. I no longer have the ability to blink or close my eyes, which has affected my appearance and my selfesteem. I cannot look at myself in the mirror without feeling overwhelmed by sadness.
To make matters worse, I could no longer afford my medication, and the seizures have not stopped. This ongoing struggle has had a significant impact on my mental health. I feel trapped in my own body, unable to live a normal life, and it breaks my heart that my family has done all they can but still cannot afford the proper care I desperately need.
I am asking for your help in raising €40,000 to cover the cost of my medical care and a critical surgery that can help repair my face. While this amount won’t fully solve everything, it will be a vital step toward restoring some normalcy in my life. With your support, I could receive the necessary treatment, regain my confidence, and have a chance at living a life I’ve always dreamed of
I don’t understand why God has put me through so much suffering, but I believe there’s a reason behind it. I’m holding on to hope that through your kindness, I can overcome these challenges and find a way to heal. Every donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to the chance of a better life
Thank you for taking the time to read my story
Your generosity means the world to me
Sincerely,
Mary
