On September 2nd, our lives changed forever. What began as a typical morning quickly turned into a nightmare. My son, Kuba, a diligent and bright young man pursuing computer science at a technical school, woke up early that day, excited for his internship. His future was filled with promise, energy, and dreams.
However, that day took a tragic turn. I still don’t fully understand what happened, but in an instant, everything changed. Kuba was involved in a horrific accident that resulted in severe injuries. His chest was crushed, eight ribs were broken, his shoulder was shattered, and his thoracic spine was gravely damaged. His legs also sustained serious injuries. The following 31 days were filled with uncertainty as Kuba fought for his life in the ICU.
The doctors were uncertain if he would regain consciousness, and even if he did, they couldn’t predict the pain he might experience. As a mother, those days were pure agony. Watching my son in a hospital bed, battling for his life, was a nightmare I never envisioned. I had always pictured Kuba’s future as one of success and happiness, but now it felt like everything was slipping away from him and from us.
When Kuba finally woke up, he was not the same. He was paralyzed from the thoracic spine down, with no sensation in his legs or bladder. The prognosis was uncertain, and the future appeared to be an endless series of challenges. Yet, despite the overwhelming circumstances, Kuba’s spirit remained resilient. He began to breathe and eat independently, showcasing an inner strength that surprised everyone, including the medical staff. His determination and courage have been a guiding light during this dark period.
Kuba has a long journey ahead. He is undergoing daily exercises to regain some functionality, attempting to sit up, support himself, and keep progressing. His left arm requires orthopedic care due to nerve damage, but his right arm is functional, allowing him to exercise and participate in his recovery.
Every day, Kuba continues to amaze everyone with his resilience. He is committed to regaining his independence, and although the road to recovery is long, he refuses to give up. Kuba has demonstrated what true strength looks like. Even while lying in a hospital bed, he inspires me. When I feel overwhelmed, he looks at me with hopeful eyes and says, “Mom, I can do this. I’ll be okay.” His words reflect his incredible willpower and belief that he can face and overcome any challenge.
While Kuba’s determination is unwavering, the path ahead is fraught with obstacles. Intensive rehabilitation is essential for regaining mobility, requiring specialized equipment, therapy, and immense patience. Each day of rehabilitation is crucial—every hour of exercise could help him regain sensation, build strength, and move closer to some level of independence.
The financial burden of all this is staggering. The costs for treatments, therapy, and the specialized equipment Kuba requires exceed what we can manage alone. The rehabilitation process will impose a significant financial strain. Therefore, as his mother, I am reaching out for your support. Kuba needs us now more than ever, and your assistance could be pivotal in his recovery.
I am not asking for a miracle, but for a chance—a chance for my son to reclaim the life that was abruptly taken from him. Kuba has always been a fighter, and with your support, I believe he can continue to strive for his future. I have witnessed him endure unimaginable pain while still holding onto hope. If he can do that, then so can we. But we cannot do it alone.
Your donation, no matter how small, can help provide the medical care and rehabilitation Kuba urgently needs. Every contribution, every act of kindness, brings us closer to a future where Kuba is no longer confined to a hospital bed but is living the life he deserves—one filled with possibilities, joy, and dreams of the future he once envisioned.
Kuba’s journey is far from over. But with the right care, support, and the strength of community, we can help him reach his goals. Together, we can give him the opportunity to stand tall, live independently, and pursue the dreams that were put on hold that fateful morning. Please, help us give Kuba that chance. Your support will mean everything to him and to us. Thank you from the depths of our hearts for being part of this journey and for helping us fight for his future.
