“Fight for Kamil” — A Family’s Plea to Save Their Son from Recurring Cancer

Childhood is meant to be a time of discovery, laughter, and small victories. For Kamil Dziurdziński, that time was filled with moments of joy, even in the face of lifelong challenges. Despite his disabilities, Kamil attended preschool, made friends, and approached each day with

bravery, hope, and a smile that lit up every room he entered. His parents believed that the most difficult battles were behind them, that Kamil had overcome one of life’s greatest hurdles. They allowed themselves to hope. They allowed themselves to dream.

But then, the unthinkable happened. Cancer, which had once been under control, returned. Silently. Insidiously. It attacked Kamil’s spine, threatening not just his mobility but his very life. What should have been a routine follow-up checkup became the worst day of their lives. Doctors revealed that

chemotherapy, the treatment that had once been his lifeline, was no longer effective. Kamil’s body had become resistant, and the disease was spreading aggressively, pressing dangerously against his spinal cord. The stakes were horrifyingly clear: without immediate intervention, the tumor could reach his brain, putting his life at imminent risk.

Every day that passes now is a race against time. Kamil’s strength is waning. His immune system is weakening, and the progress he had made in rehabilitation is eroding. His once-vivid curiosity and enthusiasm are overshadowed by pain and the fatigue of a body under siege. The tumor is relentless, pressing on his spine and causing increasing physical damage, and without urgent intervention, the consequences could be irreversible.

Doctors in Rome have acted swiftly. Kamil is scheduled for high-risk spinal surgery, a procedure that carries serious risks, including the possibility of paralysis. But there is no alternative: without it, Kamil could lose the use of his arms and legs entirely, and eventually, as the doctors warned, he could stop breathing. Following surgery, Kamil will undergo

intensive experimental therapy, an essential step to combat the cancer’s aggressive return and give him the best chance at survival. These treatments are not optional; they are a lifeline, his only hope for a future where he can continue to grow, learn, and experience life.

The financial burden is staggering. The combined costs of surgery, experimental therapy, a new spine stabilizing brace, and extended rehabilitation exceed 1.5 million złoty. For Kamil’s family, these sums are impossible to manage alone. Every hour without treatment increases the risk to his life. Every delay could diminish his chances of recovery. The situation is urgent, dire, and heartbreaking.

Yet, even in the face of these challenges, Kamil’s parents refuse to give up. Their love and determination are unwavering. They have promised their son that they will fight for him with everything they have, that they will not surrender, and that they will do whatever it takes to give him a chance at life. They are reaching out to the world not for pity, but for

action, support, and hope. Every donation, every share of their story, and every prayer is a step toward saving Kamil.

Kamil’s situation is a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the merciless nature of childhood cancers. It is also a testament to parental love and sacrifice. His parents have been by his side through every treatment, every setback, and every moment of fear. They have watched their child struggle silently, feeling every pain he cannot express, and have never wavered in their determination to secure the best care possible.

The support of the community can make a tangible, life-saving difference. Contributions will be used directly to fund surgery, experimental therapies, specialized equipment, and rehabilitation, providing Kamil with the tools and care necessary to fight back against the disease. Every donation brings hope, every share increases awareness, and every act of kindness strengthens the family’s ability to protect their son.

Time is critical. Every day without treatment is a day the tumor grows stronger, a day Kamil’s condition becomes more precarious. This is a race against the clock, a desperate fight to preserve the life of a child whose courage and spirit inspire everyone around him. His parents are pleading for help, not for themselves, but for their son — for the chance to give him a future, a chance at survival, and the ability to live beyond the hospital walls.

Kamil’s story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. It is a story of resilience, love, and the unyielding will of parents determined to save their child. It is also a reminder that even the most desperate situations can be transformed with collective compassion. Every donation, every shared post, and every supportive message is a building block in creating a future where Kamil has a chance to

walk, play, and breathe freely again.

His parents close their message with a plea that comes from the depths of their hearts: “We won’t give up our child without a fight. Please help us save Kamil. Every penny, every share, every prayer matters. Together, we can give him a chance at life.”

 

💛 Support Kamil today. Every contribution and every act of solidarity brings him closer to life-saving surgery, experimental therapy, and the chance to continue his life. Help this brave boy fight, survive, and one day thrive.

 

A Silent Battle: Iga’s Fight Against Rett Syndrome

When Iga was born, her parents believed they were holding a perfectly healthy baby girl. Her cries, her tiny hands grasping their fingers, her gentle eyes—all of it seemed like the beginning of a beautiful and ordinary childhood. For the first eight months, everything appeared normal. But then, subtle signs began to cast shadows over the joy.

She wasn’t crawling. She wasn’t trying to pull herself up. The milestones that should have been just around the corner never came. Concern quickly replaced comfort. Her parents knew something wasn’t right.

From that moment on, their lives were consumed by a desperate search for answers. Doctors ordered test after test, but every result came back normal. The mystery deepened, the anxiety grew, and the fear of the unknown weighed heavily on the family. Only when they were referred for genetic testing did the devastating truth emerge: their daughter had Rett syndrome.

Rett syndrome is a rare and cruel genetic disorder that affects almost exclusively girls. It is a thief of childhood, stealing abilities one by one. Children with Rett often lose the ability to walk, to speak, or to use their hands purposefully. They remain locked inside themselves, their thoughts and emotions trapped in silence. For many families, the only connection left is through their child’s eyes—eyes that plead for help in ways words never could.

For Iga’s parents, the diagnosis was nothing short of shattering. “It turned our entire lives upside down,” they admit. “We thought she was healthy. We had no idea that fate would put us to such a test.”

Yet even amid the devastation, there is no room for surrender. Rett syndrome may be relentless, but so is the love of a parent. Iga’s family refuses to give up on her.

Intensive rehabilitation is critical. Specialized therapies can help slow the disease’s progression, preserve mobility, and give Iga the best chance of maintaining quality of life. Medications and treatments can ease symptoms, offering small but important victories in the day-to-day battle. And looming on the horizon is the possibility of gene therapy, a scientific breakthrough that could transform the lives of children like Iga. But to reach that future, she must survive the present in the strongest condition possible.

The challenge is that the cost of keeping her stable is astronomical. Therapy sessions, specialized equipment, medications, and travel for treatment abroad all add up to amounts no ordinary family could shoulder alone. Every month brings new expenses, and with them, new worries.

“We are devastated and terrified,” Iga’s parents confess. “The only thing worse than the diagnosis is knowing there is help out there—but we can’t afford it. That’s a parent’s worst nightmare.”

Their plea is not one of resignation, but of determination. They are willing to fight with everything they have, but they cannot win this battle alone.

For Iga, time is everything. Rett syndrome does not wait. With each passing day, the risk of losing more abilities grows. The urgency is heartbreaking: every coin donated, every message of support, every act of kindness buys more time for Iga to hold on until new treatments are available.

This is why her family has turned outward, sharing their story with the world. They are asking not only for financial help but for compassion—for people to stand beside them in the fight to save their little girl.

The truth is, children like Iga remind us of something profoundly human. They show us that strength is not measured in achievements, but in endurance. That love is not defined by ease, but by sacrifice. And that hope, even when fragile, can move mountains when it is shared.

Iga may not be able to speak, but her eyes tell the story. They tell of a child who deserves the chance to live, to be loved, and to dream. They tell of parents who will never stop fighting for her. And they tell us, too, that we each have a part to play in helping her journey forward.

In the end, Rett syndrome may be a powerful enemy, but it is no match for the power of community, compassion, and love. Iga’s parents believe that with enough hands lifting them up, their daughter can hold on long enough to see the day when science offers a cure.

Until then, they will not stop. They will fight with every ounce of strength they have. And they hope that others will join them—because together, the story of Iga’s life does not have to be one of loss, but of resilience, unity, and hope.
