Ola, age 8 — chronic headache For three years Ola has been living with chronic headachesthat can appear suddenly and ruin an entire day. In the morning she often wakes up with throbbing pain in her temples, so even getting out of bed is a challenge. At school she clenches her teeth and pretends everything is fine, even though light and noise only make her feel worse. In the evenings she hugs her stuffed toy and whispers that she wishes the pain would leave her alone at least for one night.

“I wish I could wake up without pain,” she says quietly.

Your support can give her what she longs for most — peaceful days and nights without suffering.

Maks, age 12 — abdominal pain without answers

Maks knows the routes to clinics better than the way to the football pitch. For a long time the tests showed nothing conclusive, but the pain kept returning after classes, during meals and before bedtime. Every “it’s probably stress” made him feel more and more alone.

“I wish someone would believe me,” he says to his mum.

Your support helps families reach specialists faster, people who know how to listen and look for the cause of pain.

Zosia, age 6 — pain after surgery

Zosia was supposed to go back to play, but after treatment every movement became cautious. Her parents saw her clench her hands, avoid stairs and stop asking to go to the playground. She needed a pain treatment plan, rehabilitation and calm guidance for the family step by step.

“I don’t want it to hurt again,” she repeats before the exercises.

A donation can fund therapy that helps a child regain trust in their own body.

Kuba, age 15 — fibromyalgia

Kuba looks healthy, so he often hears that he is exaggerating. Meanwhile muscle pain, fatigue and sensitivity to touch take away school, sport and time with friends. The hardest part is that the illness cannot be seen, and the suffering has to be explained again and again.

“I wish I had enough strength for an ordinary day,” he says.

Your support gives children like him access to a team that understands chronic pain and helps them regain everyday life.

Antek, age 10 — cancer pain

Antek is learning bravery faster than any child ever should. His treatment requires pain control, conversations with the family and constant care that responds before the suffering becomes unbearable. Every calmer day is a huge victory for him.

“It hurts less today” — that sentence changes everything.
