Help Wake Up Danijela

Danijela Kovačević from Indjija (Serbia) is in vigil coma for more than five years…
Twenty-two-year-old Danijela Kovačević from Indjija, Serbia, spends her youth in a hospital room. Having fallen in love, she decided to give birth to a child at the age of 17, but she got sepsis during childbirth and her heart stopped beating for around half an hour. Thanks to the persistence and knowledge of the anaesthetist Dr Stanislav Milovanovic, Danijela won the first battle for her life and her heart started beating again. Since then, she has no conscious communication with the environment: she can see, but does not recognise anyone, she can walk only with assistance, she can move her arms, but not her hands. She is unable to speak or to feed herself. Danjiela spent five months at the Rehabilitation centre in Novi Sad. In the Spring of 2010 she was sent to the Specialised Hospital in Stari Slankamen, a spa near Novi Sad, and is still there. Republic Health Insurance Fund approved a three-month stay in this spa. Further requests to extend her stay were rejected because "there is no adequate code of the disease" . Since then, parents pay about 100,000 dinars (1000eur) a month. Danijela's daughter Marija is five years old now. She knows that her mother sleeps, but Daniela is not aware that Marija exists. Danijela's medical documentation was sent to a clinic in Pforzheim, near Stuttgart, Germany and doctors are very optimistic about Danijela’s recovery, but the first round of treatment (6-8 weeks) cost about 60 000 euros. Parents have asked for help, but faced misunderstanding instead. From the Municipality of Indjija they got only 100 000 dinars (about 1000 euros); no humanitarian organization has responded to their pleas, except the Red Cross organisation Stara Pazova;the Ministry of health failed to help them. Danijela's parents Djordje and Vesna are resolved to fight for Daniela. They created a group on the social network "Facebook", which today has more than 16 000 members. People all over the world are included. A singer Milena Ceranic with Danijela's friend from childhood and one more family friend took part in the show "Dancing with the stars" on TV Pink in Serbia, and they won. The cheque for 4 million dinars (around 40 000eur) which was given to the parents after months of waiting is still not enough to cover the costs of the therapy. Daniela and her family are going through a nightmare. Meanwhile, Danijela underwent a hard operation and got her ovary removed. Please help wake up Danijela so she can meet her beautiful daughter…
Danijela has made progress after her first visit to the German rehab clinic and has proven that the improvement to her condition is possible.
We are now raising funds to help her go back for her second round of treatment.
