</div>
<div>Dear friends and family,
</div>
<div>As many of you know, my wife Kapka has been fighting debilitating illnesses for the last seven years.  This journey began after the botched gall bladder surgery in 2009.  Kapka was left with a clamp inside that was holding the artery and nerve branches  of the liver, for over one year.  During this time, her healthy immune system started to deteriorate.  Subsequently, she developed severe problems and required a radical hysterectomy at the young age of 36.  Unfortunately, this ended up being a botched surgery as well.  Not only was the surgery unhelpful, but she was left with many problems, including permanent pelvic nerve damage.  The myriad of health issues have culminated in severe autoimmune dysfunction, that includes hydrocephalus and recurring stroke symptoms.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In July 2015 after the 6th surgery, she has been deteriorating with every passing day, to the point that both neurologically and immunologically, I don't know how much worse things could get. Her muscles are weak, the episodes of slurred speech are very disturbing, the left side paralysis is progressively getting worse, and her joints and lymph nodes are enlarged and swollen.  She is relying on me and our daughter for all activities of daily living. The excruciating pain we see her endure, is heartbraking. Supporting herself with a walker to manage even short distances, has been a humbling experience for us. We have conducted a comprehensive search for help locally, and internationally.  At this point, we have exhausted all of our resouces and have no other alternative, but to ask for help.  We have set up a "gofundme" account to allow for internet donations.  Please consider helping us if you have been touched by my wife's story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are collecting funds for the sole purpose of paying for treatment at the Sponaugle Wellness Center in Florida. Dr. Sponaugle has reviewed her clinical findings and advised he can treat the bacterial and viral infections that are responsible for the compromised brain functioning. Treatment at this facility will, of course, not solve all of her health problems, but we are convinced it will improve her quality of life significantly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have connected with other people in Ontario who  have been treated by Dr. Sponaugle for the same illness, and they have had success.  They also had to raise money in this manner to afford the treatment.  To view some of these success stories, please see the attached links.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My wife has touched many lives through her personality and lifelong career of helping others. Hope dies last, and as a family, we are not giving up.   Please note, all donations will be used to fund treatment at this facility, and all medical bills will be posted for public view. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading this, now you are part of our journey.
</div>

</div>
<div>Kind regards,
</div>

<div>In Bulgarian Language:
</div>
<div>Скъпи приятели,
</div>
<div>Както знаят повечето от вас, моята съпруга Капка, се бори с тежки страдания през последните седем години. Това "пътешествие" започна след орезилената операция на жлъчката в Канада, при която Капка беше оставена с метален клип в корема, който заклещваше артерията и ганглия, нервовете на черния и дроб в продължение на година. През това време, здравата и до този момент имунна система започна да рухва.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Последваха сериозни увреждания и тя се нуждаеше от радикална ...хистеректомия на 36 годишна възраст. За съжаление, тази оперативна намеса завърши с усложнения. Не само, че операцията беше нескопосана, а и тя остана с множество проблеми, включително перманентни увреждания на нервовете на таза.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Безбройнйте здравни усложнения кулминираха в тежко авто имунно заболяване, което включва хидроцефалия и често повтарящи се симптоми като при удар.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>След последната и шеста операция през юли 2015, тя зазлява с всеки изминат ден до степен в която не си представям колко по- зле може нещата да се обърнат в неврологичен и имунологичен аспект.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Мускулите са и отслабнали,епизодите на завалян говор са притеснителни, левостранната парализа прогресивно се увеличава и ставите и лимфите и възли са подути и увеличени. Тя разчита на мен и на дъщеря ни за всички основни функций всекидневно.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Нечовешката болка, която я виждаме да претърпява, ни къса сърцата. Тежко е да наблюдаваш любимия си човек да се придвижва с проходилка дори на кратки разстояния.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Локално, а и на международно ниво, ние потърсихме помощ за нейното състояние. Изразходихме всичките си ресурси и нямаме друга алтернатива освен да молим за помощ.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Отворихме благотворителна сметка с www.gofundme.com/kapka
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>който иска да дари през интернет. Моля ви помогнете ни, ако сте били докоснати от историята на моята съпруга.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ние събираме средства за да платим лечението и в центъра на Др Споногъл във Флорида. Доктор Споногъл прегледа всички досегашни тестове и развитието на заболяванията и информира, че е в състояние да третира успешно бактериалните и вирусни инжекций, които водят до нарушените и мозъчни функций. Ние сме наясно, че пълно възстановяване е невъзможно, но сме убедени, че лечението сравнително ще подобри качеството и на живот.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ние също се свързахме с други хора, които вече са били лекувани от Доктор Споногъл за същите състояния и то с успех.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Моята съпруга докосна много съдби с нейната душевност и с кариерата си с фокус да помага на хора. Надеждата умира последна и като семейство ние няма лесно да се предадем.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Знайте, че всички дарения ще бъдат използвани за лечение в Споногъл Центъра във Флорида и всички медицински сметки ще са на разположение за преглед при поискване.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Благодаря, че прочетохте нашата история. С това и вие ставате част от нашето житейско пътешествие.

<div>Liebe Freunde,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Liebe Familie,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wie viele von euch schon wissen, kämpft meine Frau Kapka in den letzten sieben Jahren mit kräfteraubenden Krankheiten. Alles begann 2009 nach einer verpfuschten Gallenblasenoperation. In Kapkas Körper wurde eine Klammer vergessen, welche die Arterie und die Nervenabzweigungen der Leber abdrückte, und das während mehr als einem Jahr. Während dieser Zeit begann sich ihr gesundes Immunsystem zu verschlechtern. Anschließend entstanden sehr schwerwiegende Komplikationen, welche eine radikale Hysterektomie im jungen Alter von 36 erforderten. Leider war diese Operation auch verpfuscht. Nicht nur war die Operation nutzlos, sondern Kapka erlitt als Folge viele Gesundheitsprobleme, einschließlich permanenter Beckennervenschädigung. Die Vielzahl von Gesundheitsproblemen haben zu schweren Autoimmunfunktionsstörungen geführt , die in Hydrocephalus und wiederkehrenden Schlaganfall-Symptomen gipfelte.
</div>
<div>Im Juli 2015 nach der sechsten Operation, verschlechterte sich ihr Zustand mit jedem neuen Tag bis zu einem Punkt, an dem ich nicht mehr weiss, wie viel schlimmer es neurologisch und immunologisch noch werden kann. Ihre Muskeln sind schwach. Die Anfälle undeutlicher Sprache sind sehr störend. Die linksseitige Lähmung wird zunehmend schlimmer. Ihre Gelenke und Lymphknoten sind vergrößert und geschwollen. Sie ist von mir und unserer Tochter abhängig in all ihren täglichen Lebensaktivitäten. Es bricht uns die Herzen zuzusehen wie sie unerträglichen Schmerzen erleidet. Zu sehen, wie sie sogar kurze Distanzen mit einem Rollator überwinden muss, war für uns eine sehr demütigende Erfahrung. Wir haben lokal und international umfassend nach Hilfe gesucht und sind an dem Punkt angekommen wo wir alle unsere Ressourcen ausgeschöpft haben. Wir sehen keine Alternative, als einfach um Hilfe zu bitten. Wir haben ein Konto auf der Spendenseite „gofundme“ eröffnet, um Spenden über das Internet zu ermöglichen. Bitte ziehen Sie in Betracht, uns zu helfen, wenn Sie durch die Geschichte meiner Frau berührt worden sind .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wir sammeln Spenden mit dem einzigen Zweck die Behandlung im Sponaugle Wellness-Center, Florida zu bezahlen. Dr. Sponaugle hat Kapkas klinische Befunde überprüft und empfohlen, die bakteriellen und viralen Infektionen zu behandeln, welche für die Beeinträchtigung der Funktionsweise des Gehirns verantwortlich sind. Die Behandlung in dieser Einrichtung wird natürlich nicht alle ihre gesundheitlichen Probleme lösen, aber wir sind überzeugt, dass es ihre Lebensqualität deutlich verbessern wird.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wir haben mit anderen Menschen in Ontario Kontakt aufgenommen, die von Dr. Sponaugle wegen der gleichen Krankheit erfolgreich behandelt worden sind. Auch diese Menschen mussten auf die gleiche Weise wie wir um Spenden bitten, um sich diese Behandlung leisten zu können. Um einige dieser Erfolgsgeschichten zu lesen, klicken Sie bitte, auf die angegebenen Links.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Meine Frau hat das Leben vieler Leute durch ihre Persönlichkeit und durch ihre lebenslange Karriere berührt, indem sie Anderen geholfen hat. Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt. Als Familie geben wir einfach nicht auf. Bitte, beachten Sie, alle Spenden werden dazu benutzt, um die Behandlung in dieser Klinik zu ermöglichen und alle medizinischen Kosten werden veröffentlicht.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Vielen Dank, dass ihr das lest. Jetzt seid ihr ein Teil unserer Reise.
