For weeks, Carter’s life was measured by transfusions and pain. His body could not keep up on its own, and every day meant another bag of blood or platelets just to keep him alive. His parents prayed desperately for change, holding onto hope even when the numbers stayed grim.

Now, something is finally shifting. Carter has gone an entire week without transfusions—something unthinkable just a short time ago. One of his critical markers has fallen back into the normal range, a clear sign his body is beginning to fight for itself again.

It hasn’t been easy. Restless nights, endless labs, and the exhaustion of hospital life have weighed heavily on him. Yet small victories—a peaceful nap, a bath, a smile—remind everyone that healing comes step by step.

Today, Carter rests. Tomorrow, he begins the hard work of rebuilding strength, muscles, and energy. The journey is far from over, but his complete turnaround has given his family something they haven’t felt in months: hope.

Please keep Carter in your prayers as he enters this next phase. Full story and how you can support his fight are in the below the comment.👇

Branson’s weekend was anything but peaceful. Exhausted, in pain, and battling relentless stomach issues, he barely ate and slept heavily—not the kind that heals, but the kind that numbs pain.

Today, he faces another procedure under anesthesia: a colonoscopy and endoscopy to uncover the cause of his suffering. Amid this, a small flicker of hope shines—his white blood cell count has risen to 2,900, a fragile sign that his body is trying to fight back.

His parents hold onto every small improvement while battling the fear of setbacks. The retinal hemorrhage he suffered in the ICU clouds his vision, a heartbreak they pray will gradually heal as his immune system rebuilds.

Every day is a struggle, but they lean on the prayers and encouragement of their community. Each message, each thought, becomes a layer of strength, reminding them they are not alone.

Branson needs your prayers for healing, vision, and strength. Every act of support helps this brave boy continue his fight.

Our little Leon was born healthy—or so we thought. One day after birth, his oxygen levels dropped dramatically, revealing a severe congenital heart defect: HLHS. From that moment, his life depended on immediate surgeries and constant medical care.

Leon has already undergone his first critical heart surgery and survived against the odds. Every day since has been filled with vigilance, hope, and small victories. He requires ongoing monitoring, specialist care, and another complex surgery ahead.

As his parents, we are determined to fight for every heartbeat, every smile, every step he takes. But the cost of medical care is overwhelming, and we cannot do this alone.

Please help us give Leon the life he deserves. Every contribution brings him closer to a healthy, happy childhood.

Our little boy Bartuś has been battling neuroblastoma since he was two and a half. What began as stomach pain quickly revealed a hidden, aggressive tumor that had already spread to his bones and bone marrow.

Since then, his life has been a relentless fight — chemotherapy, surgery, megachemia, and a stem cell transplant. Each day brings pain, weakness, and uncertainty, yet Bartuś continues to show a spark of life and resilience that inspires everyone around him.

His recovery is fragile, and the final stage of treatment — immunotherapy to prevent relapse — is only available abroad and costs nearly two million zlotys. Without it, the risk of the cancer returning is terrifyingly high.

Despite unimaginable suffering, Bartuś dreams of celebrating his third birthday at home, surrounded by family, and living the childhood he deserves. Every donation, every prayer, every act of support brings him closer to that chance.

Please help Bartuś continue his life-saving treatment and give him the chance to grow, laugh, and thrive.

At just one year and nine months, Michaś should be learning words and taking his first steps. Instead, he is battling an aggressive kidney cancer. Chemotherapy, surgeries, and endless hospital stays have stolen his strength, but not his will to live.

Now, the fight depends on access to advanced treatment, rehabilitation, and resources the family cannot afford alone. Every day matters, every bit of support brings him closer to hope.
