Please help Nora to get back on two feet again

Hey everyone, I am a resident of UK, and this time I would like to fundraise for this lovely friend of mine from my country, Hungary who really needs your help. There is a fundraising going on in Hungary too, but to speed up the process I thought I would share her story on here too and try to help her and reach her goal as soon as possible.

Here is her story:

Hello! I would like to ask everyone I can to help me reach a very expensive but big dream for me: to get a special prosthesis, i.e. an artificial leg.

 

I would just like to introduce myself: I am Nóra Balogh, a resident of Tiszaluc,Hungary. I am 26 years old and mother of a 5-year-old boy. Those who know me very well know that I have always been and am a determined, karakan, ambitious, ever-moving, cheerful girl to this day. I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was a child (9 years old), and I have had type 1 diabetes with insulin since 17 years. However, what happened after a certain stage of my life, I never dared to think about it in my life ...

And my story is:

In August 2020, I had a vascular occlusion that was resolved in one surgery. The diagnosis was that the downward veins in my left leg were thin and weak, followed by a birth / genetic disorder. My recovery went pretty fast and then after a few months another problem arose. There was a wound on my foot that was getting uglier day by day, blackening and I was in terrible pain. I was taken to the hospital where I was diagnosed with another Vascular Obstruction, I was given sepsis, which is a very high degree of inflammation. If it gets into the bloodstream I get blood poisoning and I can die from it. There was no other option but to amputate my left leg to the mid-thigh. Everyday life goes the same way for me, except for a few things. I get a lot of help from my mom, especially my little son, which I thank him a lot. I’m really looking forward to being able to perform alone and walk hand in hand with my little boy, playing selflessly, again, standing alone on two legs.

Unfortunately, as this disease affected a young person, my age did not allow me to work for 5 years, so I am not allowed to receive adequate benefits (disability benefits, etc.), so you are only entitled to a disability benefit amount , which is monthly: 24.000 HUF = 60 GBP

 

In the meantime, on August 16, 2021, I suffered a car accident in which my hip blade bone on my amputated side was broken, so now my rehabilitation is taking longer. What you need to know about the accident: we were innocent, a car drifted towards us at high speed from the front, collided with us frontally so it pushed us into the ditch and totally damaged my recently purchased car. The procedure takes long and I can’t be left without a car.

Well what would it be about ?? From the artificial leg that will be after my temporary leg as my final leg. Since I am young, I am diabetic and need to take great care of my veins or stump because I don’t want to get a wound on it otherwise would need additional amputation. In this case, I need a pretty special leg. Special foot: assembled piece by piece, knee joint, foot, case system, vacuum system, external protective tread, which are individually developed or made, so it can easily make my life easier, as it can be, both walking and wearing, as if it were my own foot.

The total price of the artificial foot goes to the starry sky and unfortunately I am not able to afford in our current financial situation. I would also need another car to travel as the car that broke down was bought to make my everyday life easier, able to travel and not be dependent on anyone else.

In order to have another car and a suitable leg as soon as possible, approx. I have half a year to raise that amount, but no matter how much I want to, I know it won’t go alone now. If that doesn’t work, I would come to terms with the situation, but I have to try and we want to ask for help. And the leg is not made until the amount is reached.

  I know I will be able to continue working and I will be able to take care of myself and my little boy the way I have done so far, for that I need a very good leg.

I know it’s a lot of money, but anyone who can contribute, if only for a small amount, it would mean a lot to me. Many thanks to those are willing to help.

Because my biggest dream in the world is to be able to live life to the fullest again and I can walk with both feet!

Thank you for everyone for reading the story, anything helps.
