Dear friends! Thanks to your support, the necessary funds for a portable oxygen concentrator for Veronica have been successfully raised. She was only 20 years old. Since birth, the girl had to overcome serious challenges – severe neurological disorders, years of rehabilitation, cancer, long‑term treatment, and the resulting complications. Veronica endured all of this with remarkable resilience, thanks to her wonderful grandmother and other compassionate people. The last year was especially hard: after intensive care and a coma, she needed constant respiratory support. Unfortunately, after the fundraising was completed, Veronica passed away. In agreement with the family, the portable oxygen concentrator purchased with the raised funds was given to another beneficiary of our foundation – a boy named Mark, for whom this device is vitally necessary.

Thank you for your compassion, your trust, and your willingness to help those who find themselves in difficult life situations.

Sincerely, The team of the Paper Bird Foundation

About the campaign

Veronica needs a portable oxygen concentrator

Veronica is 20 years old, and she has gone through many trials on her way.

When Veronica's mother was pregnant, she had an epileptic seizure, which led to severe neurological disorders in the newborn. At the age of two, the girl was in the arms of her grandmother, since her mother could not take care of her daughter due to illness, and her father could not cope with the workload. Despite the difficulties, the care and love of her grandmother, as well as the support of caring people, worked a real miracle: Veronica gradually learned to walk with support, hold a spoon and talk.

All hopes for recovery collapsed overnight, when in 2014 the girl was diagnosed with severe cancer. Complex treatment, chemotherapy, which led to brittle bones, months in plaster ... The family passed this test with dignity - after 4 years, Veronica went into remission. However, a year ago she was admitted to intensive care, survived a coma and was connected to a ventilator, on which she is now.

In order to finally get some fresh air, walk with her grandmother and see her friends, Veronica needs a portable oxygen concentrator. The family does not give up, and with your help they can regain hope for improvement.
