My name is Ewa and I'm a 36-year-old mother and wife. My daily life is confined to bed, as I'm too weak to carry out normal activities. My health challenges began 11 years ago after the birth of my son. During labor, I experienced complications with the epidural injections—prolonged positioning and improper administration caused significant damage to the nerves and muscles on the left side of my body. I now suffer from whole left body side numbness, altered sensitivity, and ongoing pain, yet the hospital never took responsibility for what happened.
After my GP dismissed my concerns as normal postpartum recovery, treatment was delayed by six months. I couldn’t even lift my newborn son, who weighed just 2.9 kg. Over time, my condition worsened. Years of painkillers have led to bowel and stomach issues, and I've since been diagnosed with endometriosis, hypertension, and depression. A hysterectomy ended my fight for more children, and alternative treatments have been unsuccessful. Unfortunately I list chance to have more children.
Despite everything, I refuse to give up. I believe stem cell treatment could give me the chance to reclaim my life—to play with my son, care for my family, and live beyond my bed. My family has cared for me for so long, and I long to be able to support them in return.
I understand the odds are against me, but I hold onto hope. With your support, I believe I can move towards recovery and a better future. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
I want to do this for my son. It breaks my heart to see him getting sadder and sadder seeing me in bed or barely walking. if you can, please help.
