Attached is a truly lovely surprise from Karolinka and her mother, which arrived in today’s mail.
We dedicate these heartfelt words of thanks to all our wonderful donors, sponsors, volunteers, and friends, whose kindness and support make so much good possible.❤
Karolinka lives with a rare genetic condition called Apert syndrome, which causes the premature fusion of the skull bones and can lead to deformities of the skull and face. Since birth, she has been under the care of Dr. Jeffrey Fearon, one of the leading surgeons specializing in the treatment of children with Apert syndrome.

In 2016, Karolinka underwent her first, life-saving surgery in Dallas. In 2019, she underwent another procedure to expand her skull due to the risk to her eyesight. Her third surgery, performed in June of this year, involved advancing the middle portion of the skull in a Le Fort III procedure. It was the most serious and challenging surgery she has faced.

In all three cases, our Foundation was honored to support Karolinka and her mother throughout their journey.

We are incredibly happy that, as her mother reassured us, “Karolinka is on her way back to full health.” ❤️

Adam is 5 years old.❤
The little boy we’re supporting is currently undergoing a series of tests to prepare him for treatment at Boston Children’s Hospital.
It’s an important and challenging time, but we believe that every step brings Adam closer to the treatment we are all hoping for.

We’re keeping our fingers crossed for him! 🌟

Some news is simply too heartbreaking to accept... 🖤

It is with immense sadness and profound grief that we share the passing of Marek Rzepkowski—our cherished Friend, a man of extraordinary kindness, a respected radio broadcaster, businessman, patriot, and a person of unwavering integrity.
For many years, Marek was a cornerstone of Radiotony on Polish Radio 1030 and an invaluable supporter of our Foundation. He never hesitated to offer his time, his wisdom, or his heart wherever children needed hope, care, and support. His generosity, compassion, and dedication touched countless lives and inspired everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
To us, Marek was so much more. He was a true Friend—always present and deeply devoted.
He stood by us through the years with loyalty, kindness, and a deep commitment to the values he lived by every single day. His presence made our work stronger, and his friendship enriched our lives beyond words.
Thank you, Marek, for every helping hand, every word of encouragement, your heart of gold, and for all that you did for our Foundation and for the children whose lives you helped change. The kindness you shared cannot be measured. Your legacy will live on in the hearts of those you supported, inspired, and loved.
We extend our deepest and most sincere condolences to Marek's family, his loved ones, and everyone whose life was blessed by his friendship.
May you rest in eternal peace, dear Friend.
You will always remain in our hearts, and you will never be forgotten!
