Pola is only 12 years old. At an age when children should be carefree, exploring the world, and enjoying long summer vacations with friends, her life has been completely turned upside down. From one day to the next, a tragic accident changed everything. Pola suffered severe burns covering as much as 60% of her body, including her face. The bright, energetic girl we knew was suddenly facing a reality filled with pain, fear, and uncertainty.
Instead of running, laughing, and spending time with friends, Pola has been fighting for her life. The pain she endures is not just physical; it is emotional and psychological. Every day brings the challenge of coping with trauma, with wounds that heal slowly, with the fear that comes from a life forever altered by a single moment. Yet through it all, Pola has shown an incredible strength that inspires everyone around her. She fights every day—not only to survive but to regain a sense of normalcy, to reclaim the childhood that was stolen from her.
Pola’s journey to recovery is far from over. She still faces numerous painful surgeries, including extensive skin grafts, procedures to repair and restore the damaged areas, and treatments designed to reduce scarring and improve mobility. Each surgery is followed by rehabilitation, physical therapy, and long hours of care to help her body recover. These treatments are essential—they offer Pola the chance to regain movement, rebuild strength, and, most importantly, regain hope. They give her the opportunity to return, at least partially, to a normal life where she can play, learn, and experience joy again.
As a mother, watching my daughter endure this pain is heartbreaking. If I could, I would give anything to turn back time and prevent the accident. But I cannot change what has happened. What I can do is fight alongside her, provide her with the best care possible, and seek the help of others to give her a chance at life beyond the hospital and the pain. Today, we reach out to you with humility and hope, asking for support.
Pola requires not only medical treatment but also specialized rehabilitation and psychological care. She needs trained therapists, equipment to aid her mobility, and ongoing support to help her cope with the emotional impact of her injuries. The costs of this care are staggering, far beyond what we can manage on our own. Every day, we face decisions about how to provide her with everything she needs, and every day the bills and expenses grow. Without help, Pola’s recovery will be delayed, and the quality of her life may be permanently affected.
This is why we are asking for your help. Every zloty, every prayer, every share of her story matters. Your support can provide the medical treatments that will relieve her pain, the rehabilitation that will allow her to regain strength, and the psychological care that will help her heal emotionally. Each contribution brings us one step closer to giving Pola a life free from constant fear, full of possibilities, and full of hope.
Pola deserves a second chance at life. She deserves to laugh, to play, to go to school, to spend time with her friends, and to enjoy the simple pleasures of childhood. She deserves to smile at the world again without pain or fear. We believe in the power of kindness and the generosity of people who can make miracles possible. With your help, Pola can continue her treatment, receive the care she desperately needs, and take each step toward a brighter future.
Every gesture counts. Every donation, no matter how small, helps to secure surgeries, therapies, and medical equipment for Pola. Every prayer and message of support gives us hope and strengthens our determination to help her recover. Together, we can make a real difference in her life. Together, we can give a little girl the chance to live fully again, to feel safe, to smile, and to dream about the future she deserves.
Please help us give Pola the chance to live without pain, to recover, and to experience happiness once again. With your support, she can fight, heal, and face each day with courage and hope. Every act of kindness brings her closer to life, to freedom from pain, and to the possibility of enjoying the childhood she deserves. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any support you can provide.
