Hello! My name is Kalina Vladimirova Nedyalkova, 53 years old. Until 12 years ago, I had everything that made me happy - I was running the household in my home, raising two sons, planting vegetables in the yard, raising animals, being a working veterinarian who helps in times of trouble, being a mountain climber, being a skier, being a swimmer, being!

But 12 years ago I got bronchopneumonia and went into a 17 day coma. After I came out of the coma,my life collapsed. I couldn't move my arms or legs,I couldn't talk. With the help of my family, I read tons of newspapers and speech recovered. With rehabilitation and arm movement was regained.
But the legs remained hardlymovable and weak. I walk with small steps,unsteady strides,but only with someone else's help. Independent walking is almost impossible.

When I have tried to go to the toilet,I have fallen down many times,which has caused ear laceration,nose wounds,broken neck of femur.

I haven't gone to work for 12 years,can't do any work at home,just sit on the bed and watch life go by. I can't even go out in the yard by myself-I need a family member to hold my hand.

I have been through many rehabilitation treatments in hospitals and sanatoriums, I have been in neurological wards many times, I do daily rehabilitation at home, but there is no improvement.
I no longer live,but exist.

My diagnosis is myelinolysis of the nerves in the area of the cerebellar pons/bridge,in which the nerves from the brain do not conduct quality nerve impulses to the nerves in the legs and for this the legs can not walk quality,but only drag and are unstable,therefore I can not walk alone. My disability wire is 95% with someone else's help. I cannot walk on my own and am unstable.

12 years of going to doctors and nothing. And time is passing and soon I will lose the last chance to walk independently,because as time goes on,the process becomes irreversible!

I did a brain scan and attached a video of me walking with someone else's help and sent them to "Inrernational Hospital Avicenna" in Turkey and they contacted me and said they can stabilize me with aggressive rehabilitation and physical therapy,which will stabilize my gait,increase my striding and I will be able to walk independently.
I will be able to get my life back,not just vegetate on the bed.
I will be able to practice my profession again,my sons are grown,but I have a grandson 3 yrs old and I will be able to help raise him,I will pick up the house shuffling again,which my husband does,after he gets back from work,I will be able to go to the mountains on my own,breathe in some of the freshness and' keep on living! To live!

I need this amount,as we can only afford the stay,which is about 4000lv..The hospital suggested a hotel,which is close to them,as I am not bedridden,and staying in the hospital itself because of the service and food is much more expensive!

DEAR PEOPLE,PLEASE GIVE ME A HAND IN THIS BATTLE,SO I CAN TAKE A STEP FORWARD,IN MY LIFE..!
