<div><strong>Why I Am Asking for Your Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Piotr, and I am reaching out to you because the most important person in my life, Karolina, is fighting for her survival. She is my best friend, my lifelong companion, and my muse.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Karolina, who has always been a source of inspiration for so many, is now battling a debilitating condition that leaves her paralyzed, seizing, and unable to care for herself. Despite her resilience, her condition is rapidly deteriorating. The damage to her brain is escalating, and without immediate medical intervention, the effects could become irreversible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have done everything in my power to find this rare opportunity. I have called in every favor, pulled every string, and secured this place for her. Now, I just need to get her there. As soon as we raise the funds, I will personally drive her to the hospital.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I cannot do this alone. I need your help to save the muse before it is too late.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Is Urgent</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Karolina’s condition is unpredictable and worsening. It began with unexplained epileptic seizures, paralysis that comes and goes, and severe memory issues. What started as brief episodes have now stretched into hours and days where she is unable to move or speak. Despite her iron will and ability to laugh in the face of suffering, her body is shutting down.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She has endured countless hospital visits, only to be dismissed without answers or treatment. She has fought for herself, always pushing through, always refusing to become a victim. But now, she cannot fight alone anymore.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She needs immediate, specialized medical care before it is too late.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who Is Karolina?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Karolina is not just another patient. She is an artist, a writer, and the reason I ever picked up a pen to write lyrics. She is the reason so many people found the courage to heal, to create, to live.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She has transformed every hardship into art, every trauma into wisdom. She has spent her life uplifting others, never asking for anything in return. Even now, as her body fails her, she is thinking of others—of the people who might learn from her story, of the art she has yet to share with the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She has given everything to the world. Now, she needs the world to give back.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Plan</strong>
</div>
<div>What Are We Raising Funds For?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Karolina's Foundation is raising funds for urgent neurological treatment and rehabilitation that is not covered by the NHS or available through public healthcare. The goal is to regain Karolina’s physical and cognitive function and stop the progression of life-threatening neurological symptoms that have left her unable to work or live independently.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations will support:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1. Specialist diagnostics in a neurological clinic  – including high-resolution MRI, EEG, functional tests, and expert consultations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2. Treatment for seizure-like episodes and speech impairment – including tailored medication and intensive speech therapy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>3. Neuropsychological rehabilitation – to restore memory, focus, coordination, and communication skills.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>4. Holistic support (nutrition, Traditional Chinese Medicine, psychological care) – essential due to Karolina’s severe psychosomatic symptoms and PTSD from past trauma.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>5. Medical equipment and daily tools – such as a seizure monitor, ergonomic keyboard, larger screen, and essential brain-supporting supplements.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>6. Basic living expenses during recovery – as Karolina is currently unable to work or generate income.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Target: £10,000 GBP
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution brings Karolina one step closer to healing—to a life where she can speak, write, and create again, without pain or fear of the next episode.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have launched this GoFundMe campaign as an urgent call for support to get Karolina into the hospital as soon as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donate – Any amount helps. Every penny gets her closer to treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Share – Spread the word. Tell her story. Post about it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stay Updated – Follow our journey and Karolina’s recovery progress.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We know that people respond to personal stories. I could tell you every heartbreaking detail, but the truth is simple: this woman deserves to live.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The world needs the muse.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Story in Footage</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have created a powerful 3-4 minute video showcasing Karolina’s journey. The video transitions between her past and present—showing her dancing, creating art, and living vibrantly before her illness, then contrasting that with raw, real footage of her recent struggles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Key scenes include:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Karolina dancing before her illness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her lying helpless in A&amp;E.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Painting a charcoal silhouette in a recovery position with a red "SOS" on her hand.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A striking moment where she presses a blue-painted shoe onto the silhouette, symbolizing oppression and powerlessness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Scenes of her collapsing at church, seizing while I protect her, and her fighting for recovery through art and movement.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Footage of her isolated but determined in her small studio flat, working out, writing, and trying to reclaim her strength.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A haunting final image: Karolina in adult diapers, then flexing her muscle after a workout—her silent message that she refuses to give up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The video ends with her using a text-to-speech app, typing the words "I won’t give up", as the robotic voice delivers her message while my song "Please Don’t Die" fades out.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Music: "Please Don’t Die"</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This song, written and produced by me, was born from my fear of losing Karolina. I composed it the night she was in A&amp;E, unsure if it would be our last moment together. It has since become her anthem for survival.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Call to Action</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is more than just a fundraiser. This is a fight for Karolina’s life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She has given everything to the world—her art, her words, her strength. Now, she needs your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donate. Share. Spread the message. Help me save the muse.
</div>
