I am writing this story with a broken heart and tears in my eyes... I am writing the story of my youngest daughter Yoanka!

Hello, my name is Radoslava and I am a mother of three children. However, my heart hides a special pain that I carry every day - the pain for my little Joanna. There is nothing more frightening for a mother than to see her child suffer, not being able to grow up like other children.

Johanna was born prematurely, only 1950 kg, and from a young age she showed signs that worried us. Procedures, checkups and pain became part of our lives. After years of uncertainty and pain, we finally received a diagnosis - Turner Syndrome. We began all the necessary examinations,with her kidneys,eyes,thyroid,heart and legs hip joints affected.

Unfortunately here in Bulgaria we do not have a children's hospital where we can monitor her condition comprehensively. Ioanna has to see a nephrologist,cardiologist,endocrinologist orthopedist and ophthalmologist and here we wait for months and the doctors say there is nothing to be done. So we went to Turkey for treatment. There they give hope for little Johanna where 2 years ago a successful kidney operation was performed. Unfortunately the struggle continues and treatment is long and expensive. Every month we have to travel, do tests, buy medicines and follow the doctors' recommendations. With each passing day, the costs grow, and we, as a family, cannot cope alone.

In addition to having to take growth hormone every day, we also have to have surgery on Joan's birthmark! The reason is that the growth is growing very fast, and in children with this diagnosis there is a very high chance that it will go from benign to malignant!

I'm afraid to even write that word: malignant...

I believe that God, good people and doctors will be by our side and we will be able to raise the necessary amount before it is too late! Besides the surgery, we will have check-ups and checkups every three months! Please, good people, help us!
