Help Anna Fight Pulmonary Fibrosis

I’m writing this with a heart full of love—and desperation. I am a single mother fighting every day to keep my little girl, Anna, alive.

Anna is only 5 years old. At an age when she should be running freely, laughing with her friends, and dreaming about what she wants to be when she grows up, Anna is fighting for every single breath. She has been diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis, a rare and progressive lung disease that is slowly taking her life away.

What started as a mild cough and shortness of breath has turned into something far more terrifying. Anna now struggles to breathe even at rest. She’s no longer able to play or attend school regularly—something no child should ever have to give up. Most days, she just sits quietly, exhausted from trying to do what most of us take for granted: breathe.

As her mother, I have watched helplessly as this disease has stolen her joy, her energy, and her childhood. No parent should have to witness their child gasping for air or waking up in the night crying because her chest hurts too much to sleep.

Doctors have told us that there is a lifesaving surgery available—one that could drastically slow the progression of the disease and give Anna a real chance at life. But the cost is overwhelming, and as a single mother, I simply can’t do it alone. Every day we wait is a day we risk losing her.

That’s why I’m turning to you.

We need your help—and we need it now.

This surgery isn’t just urgent—it’s essential. Without it, Anna’s condition will continue to worsen. With it, she has the chance to breathe freely, to laugh again, to go back to school, and to just be a kid.

Anna has so much life left to live. She dreams of becoming a teacher one day. She loves coloring, animals, and cuddling with her stuffed bunny, "Mr. Fluff." She’s incredibly brave—but even the bravest children need a helping hand.

Please, if you’re reading this, know that even the smallest donation could be the reason Anna gets a second chance. Your support could mean everything to us. We’re not just asking for money—we’re asking for hope, for time, and for the chance to save a little girl’s life.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening, for caring, and for standing with us during the hardest time of our lives.

With hope and gratitude,
