Help Edvinas Stand on His Feet Again: Your Support Can Change My Life.

***Update***

Hi everyone,

With your help i was lucky enoug to undergo three stem cell transplant procedures! We raised an amout i couldnt even dream about. The procedure togetrher with hard work will start showing results in three to six months, however we are starting to see things change already!

Now im gearing up for my next stem cell transplant procedure, again with intensive rehabilitation right after. However, this time the rehbilitation will also take place in India. We have found a new rehabilitation centre called "Mission WALK" and it is promissing a different apraoch that could signifincantly improve my recovery.

My family and friends have already imencely contributed towards this, but to reach this amount, I am reaching out to all of you, because the amount is just not something we can raise alone.
With gratitude,

Edvinas


Hello, my name is Edvinas, but you can call me Eddie, and I am a 34-year-old architecture student from Vilnius.
My life turned upside down a year ago when I accidentally fell from the second floor of my rental loft apartment while working at my computer. The injuries were devastating – I broke my spine and fractured my skull in several places. The doctors gave me little hope, telling me I would most likely be paralyzed from the chest down or, left in a vegetative state or, in the worst case, might not even wake up from the coma . However, against all odds, I survived and am now fighting to stand on my feet again.

Every day is a tremendous challenge.


I spent a long time in intensive care and later in the neurosurgery ward enduring excruciating pain. Then it was time for my primary rehabilitation. Learning to transfer myself into a wheelchair was my first "victory,". after three months there i went to Bydgosch, Poland where I had a very intensive recovery plan, enduring excruciating rehabilitation. After that I came back home where I was working with various therapists including aqua theraphy. After a while I visited Jurmala, Latvia, that had a different approachch to recovery, but not in the slitest any less tnan Poland. After two weeks in Latvia, hard work at home continued. Every step forward requires enormous effort. My friends and family have supported me in every way, but my biggest challenge still lies ahead. I have attached a few videos below, to try and show at least a small part of the work that im putting in to reach my goals.













Before the accident, I was active and living the best time of my life


I worked out five times a week, studied, and enjoyed life. Now, I not only fight physical pain but also the drastic changes that have altered my life. I’ve lost my independence – I rely on my family and friends even for daily activities like showering or preparing food. My goal is not only to stand on my feet again but to regain the ability to live independently. a video below shows a small part of the life that i had before, and how it changed in a split second.



Every Dollar you donate is incredibly important to me.


Your support can help me achieve the impossible – to walk again. This is a chance to start a new chapter in my life where a wheelchair is no longer a part of my daily reality. I believe that, together, we can make this dream a reality. The video below shows how i'm trying to make the most of my current life and how my frieds are helping me to stay active.




Thank you for your support, your belief, and your generosity. Every contribution brings me one step closer to standing on my feet again.

Love, Eddie
