It started with a runny nose

There was no indication that it was anything serious. Sonia had a runny nose, a cough and a slightly elevated temperature, like thousands of children at this time of year. However, days passed and the three-year-old's health did not improve. Sleepless nights, emergency room visits one after another. Finally, doctors expanded the diagnostics to include blood tests. The results left no doubt.
In March 2024, a diagnosis was made that shook Sonya's hitherto peaceful world: acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Hospital instead of kindergarten

When Sonia came to the "Cape of Hope" in Wroclaw, she still had a world in her eyes, in which the biggest problem was the choice of a toy. In an instant, everything changed. She settled in a hospital room, where the smell of disinfectant liquid replaced the smell of dinner from home, and her mother's voice became the most precious sound of the day here. She is the one who gives Sonya the feeling that although everything has fallen apart, their "togetherness" is still unchanged.

Broviac and new words no one wants to know

Recently, Sonia was prepared for further treatment. She was fitted with a Broviac. The new device caused fear, anxiety and questions....
Every day is subordinated to treatment: medications, tests, visits to doctors and nurses.

A world that is no longer childlike

For any child Soni's age, the world is movement, laughter and fun. Soni's world today is one room, an IV pump and waiting for the IV to be disconnected. She doesn't ask why exactly. She doesn't know the words yet. She simply fights - day after day, against what is unpredictable and unfair.

Support is needed

Sonya's mother had to push everything else aside to be there for her daughter. The family has found itself in a situation that requires full commitment - emotionally and financially.
Every zloty helps to get through this time, including covering the costs of commuting, treatment and necessary hygiene products.
