My name is Malwina, I live in the suburbs of Chicago, IL. I suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which deteriorated my lungs to the point where I am now listed for a double lung
transplant.
At this point in my life, I can’t do most basic tasks without losing breath, and have to use oxygen even while sitting since my lungs are only 20% functional.
The double lung transplant will allow me to have a healthy life. It does come with many risks, but it is my only chance at living and overcoming COPD. In order to fully prepare for my surgery, I created this fundraising campaign and ask for your support. Your donations will help me with frequent follow up
visits after the transplant, copays for medications, and transportation expenses. Any amount will be greatly appreciated and will allow me to recover without financial stress. The donations are tax-deductible!

Miracles Happen!
On my 33rd Birthday I woke up with a new, beautiful set of lungs! It was such incredible feeling to be able to breath easily. Of course, it took me couple of days to get used to my new lungs, but now, after 8 months I am able to do things I could not do before transplant. I play with my dogs, I walk without getting tired- it is all so new to me and I enjoy it so much! Thank you so much for your support, it means a lot to me and helps me so much!
