Born Fighting: The Unbreakable Spirit of Little Justynka
For most mothers, pregnancy is a time of joy — a time to dream of tiny hands, lullabies, and a life just beginning. But for Justynka’s mother, that joy was shattered in the 29th week of pregnancy when a
What followed was chaos, fear, and blood — one of the tumors on her liver ruptured without warning, causing
That was the day Justynka entered the world — blue, silent, and barely breathing.
A Fight From the First Breath
She came into life already fighting for it.
Her body was still, her heartbeat faint. She required immediate resuscitation, followed by blood transfusions
“We didn’t even have time to hold her,” her mother remembers softly. “They took her straight to save her life. And all I could do was pray.”
The Long Road Ahead
Soon after, doctors implanted a ventriculoperitoneal shunt to help drain fluid from her brain — the first of many surgeries in what would become a lifelong medical journey.
From her earliest days, Justynka has been under the constant care of a team of specialists — neurologists, neurosurgeons, ophthalmologists, cardiologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, and physical therapists. Each one helps keep her fragile body stable enough to keep going.
But despite all the effort, the consequences of her traumatic start remain devastating.
Now three years old, Justynka cannot walk. She can only sit with support, and her body is affected by painful
Still, her eyes — bright and curious — tell the story of a little girl who refuses to give up.
Hope in Motion
Every day, her parents fight alongside her. Her mother guides her tiny hands through therapy exercises, whispering encouragement through tears. Her father adjusts the equipment, making sure every strap and support is just right. Together, they fight to give her the best life they can.
But as Justynka grows, so do her needs.
To continue her rehabilitation, she urgently requires specialized medical and mobility equipment:
-
A standing frame to help strengthen her muscles and improve circulation.
-
Orthotics to support her weakened limbs.
-
A specialized stroller and seat to ensure comfort and safety.
-
A car seat adapted for children with disabilities, so she can travel to hospitals and therapy sessions.
These are not luxuries — they are lifelines.
A Plea From the Heart
The cost of this equipment is overwhelming for her family. Each item is essential for her continued progress, yet together they add up to more than her parents could ever afford.
“Every parent dreams of seeing their child run, play, and laugh,” her mother says quietly. “We don’t dream of running anymore. We just dream that one day she’ll take a single step — or even hold her head up proudly. That would be enough.”
They have already sacrificed everything — time, work, savings, and sleep — to give their daughter a chance. But now, they need help.
Every Step Matters
Every donation, every gesture of kindness, every word of support brings
Because despite everything, Justynka smiles. She laughs when she hears her parents’ voices. She holds their fingers tight, as if to say, “Don’t give up — I’m still fighting.”
And they won’t.
💗 Help Justynka continue her fight — help her stand, move, and live with dignity. Together, we can give this brave little girl a chance at the childhood she deserves.
Daviana’s Fight: A Baby Girl Battling a Tumor Bigger Than Herself
Imagine a 17-month-old child—tiny, innocent, full of wonder—carrying a tumor nearly the size of a football. For baby Daviana, that is not imagination, but reality. Her short life has already been defined by battles most adults could never endure.
This summer, doctors diagnosed her with neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer that often strikes infants and toddlers. By the time it was discovered, the tumor had consumed her entire right side, spreading and breaking down into smaller clusters. Surgeons faced an almost impossible task: a 14-hour operation to remove as much of the mass as possible.
The procedure was grueling. In order to save her life, doctors had to remove her right kidney along with the tumor. For Daviana’s parents, waiting through those endless hours was a torment no parent should know. Every minute felt like a lifetime. Every update carried the weight of hope and fear in equal measure.
When it was over, their baby girl had survived. But survival was only the beginning. The road ahead is long—filled with treatments, hospital stays, and the lingering fear of what tomorrow may bring. Neuroblastoma is relentless, and families like Daviana’s live day by day, holding on to faith and fighting for every chance at healing.
Her parents admit the pain of watching her suffer is unbearable. No one imagines holding their toddler’s hand through IV lines, or watching them wince in pain instead of learning to run and play. And yet, in their darkest hours, they refuse to surrender.
“We’ll stop at nothing to save her life,” they say, voices breaking but determined. “If there’s a treatment, we’ll find it. If there’s hope, we’ll hold it.”
What gives them strength is not only the love they have for their daughter, but the kindness of others. Friends, extended family, and even strangers have rallied to their side—through prayers, donations, and words of encouragement that remind them they are not walking this road alone. Each message becomes a lifeline, each gesture of support a small piece of light in the storm.
For those who meet Daviana, the first thing they notice isn’t the disease. It’s her eyes—bright, curious, and full of a life that cancer cannot steal. Even when weary from treatments, she smiles at her parents, a reminder of why they keep fighting. She is more than a patient. She is their miracle child, their reason for hope.
Her story is heartbreaking, but it is also a call to action. Childhood cancer is rare, but for families like hers, it is all-consuming. Raising awareness means raising the chances of research, funding, and ultimately cures. Daviana’s parents hope that by sharing her journey, others will see the urgent need to fight for these children—not only for her, but for every family touched by this disease.
And so, as this little girl continues her battle, her parents are asking for something simple, yet powerful: encouragement. A reminder that they are not alone. A word of strength when theirs runs out. A prayer for healing when the nights feel longest.
Her fight is not just their fight. It is a reminder of how fragile life truly is—and how strong love can be when tested by fire.
As her family clings to faith and the hope of brighter days, one question remains: If you could send one message to Daviana’s parents right now, what would it be?
Because sometimes, the smallest words carry the greatest weight. And sometimes, the world needs to remind a weary mother and father that love is bigger than fear, and hope is stronger than cancer.
