8 – letnia Magda, pochodzi z Krotoszyna w woj. wielkopolskim. Gdy Magda przyszła na świat wszyscy, włącznie z lekarzami, byli przekonani, że jest silnym, zdrowym dzieckiem. Przez pierwszy rok rozwijała się prawidłowo – raczkowała, siadała, bardzo szybko nauczyła się mówić. Potem jakby przestała chcieć. Nigdy nie stanęła na nóżkach. Pierwsza diagnoza, wiotkość stawowo-mięśniowa, okazała się nietrafiona. Dobrane ćwiczenia nie przynosiły rezultatów. Gdy Magda skończyła 2 latka, postawiono kolejną – rdzeniowy zanik mięśni. SMA jest rzadkim, genetycznie uwarunkowanym schorzeniem nerwowo-mięśniowym powodującym postępujący zanik mięśni. Magda porusza się na wózku, nie siada samodzielnie, nie ma siły obrócić się na łóżku, jej ręce są mniej sprawne, wymaga całodobowej opieki. Jej życie to nieustająca rehabilitacja.
Największą fantazją dziewczynki jest poznanie Vito i Belli. Bardzo chciałaby spotkać się ze swoimi idolami, zobaczyć jak nagrywają program… może nawet wziąć w nim udział.
7 sierpnia 2018… piękny wakacyjny dzień nad jeziorem… skutery wodne. Było cudownie, do czasu. Przez czyjąś głupotę i brawurę Alan i jego tata mogli zginąć. Rozpędzony skuter praktycznie wbił się w nich. U taty skończyło się na potłuczeniach i złamaniach, Alanka z ciężkim urazem mózgu przewieziono helikopterem do szpitala, gdzie został wprowadzony w stan śpiączki farmakologicznej. Gdy po 2 tygodniach odstawiono leki, chłopiec nie wybudził się. Alan miał wielkie szczęście, że trafił do Kliniki Budzik. W Budziku spędził 4 miesiące. Był pięćdziesiątym pierwszym wybudzonym pacjentem, dziesiątym, który wyszedł na własnych nogach.
Największą fantazją 10 – letniego Alanka, jest spotkanie z Cleo. To Jej piosenki śpiewał, gdy tylko nauczył się mówić, zaraz po wybudzeniu. ”W dzień nie szukaj gwiazd”- ten utwór najbardziej przypadł mu do gustu.
Przy narodzinach Krzysia doszło do niedotlenienia. Spowodowało to, że chłopiec ma obniżone napięcie mięśniowe. Dodatkowo, kiedy miał 3 lata, rodziców zaniepokoiły często krwawienia z nosa. Badania krwi i dalsza diagnostyka pokazały, że Krzyś cierpi na neutropenię i leukopenię. Oznacza to, że jego organizm nie wytwarza dostatecznej liczby białych krwinek odpowiadających za odporność. Właściwie każda, nawet najmniejsza infekcja jest dla niego groźna, dlatego nie może przebywać w dużych skupiskach ludzi. Uczy się w domu, ponieważ chodzenie do szkoły jest dla niego zbyt niebezpieczne. Choroba spowodowała też osłabienie układu mięśniowo-kostnego, a przez to skoliozę, koślawość stóp, asymetrię barków i łopatek.
Krzyś jest bardzo inteligentnym, ciekawym świata chłopcem. Pasjonuje się piłką nożną, dlatego jego marzeniem jest spotkanie z Robertem Lewandowskim i koszulka z autografem idola. Kolejną wielką fantazją związaną ze sportem jest możliwość komentowania meczu polskiej kadry na Euro. Nasz Podopieczny uwielbia opowiadać i mówić, więc na pewno znakomicie spisałby się w tej roli. Krzyś w wieku 6 lat napisał książkę, w której opisuje państwa Europy, Azji i Afryki. Wydanie jej to jego kolejne ogromne marzenie. Chłopiec byłby przeszczęśliwy, gdyby któraś z jego fantazji stała się rzeczywistością!
Marika urodziła się bez dróg żółciowych i woreczka żółciowego. Kiedy miała niespełna dwa miesiące przeszła bardzo poważną operację ratującą życie. Przez wiele lat dziewczynka czekała na przeszczep wątroby. Udało się po siedmiu. Wszystko miało być już dobrze, ale w lipcu 2016 roku nastolatka po raz kolejny trafiła na stół operacyjny z powodu niedrożności jelit. Marika bardzo wiele czasu spędza w szpitalu. Wciąż pojawiają się jakieś komplikacje, niepokojące objawy. Jeszcze niedawno wydawało się, że choroba „odpuściła” odrobinę. Niestety, ostatnie wyniki wątrobowe są bardzo złe, pojawiło się też krwawienie z jelit.
Ponieważ Marika to pasjonatka mediów, jej marzeniem jest spotkanie z Danutą Holecką, dziennikarką i prezenterką telewizyjną. Dziewczyna bardzo chciałaby porozmawiać ze swoją największą idolką i zapytać o kulisy pracy w mediach. Takie doświadczenie byłoby dla niej z pewnością wielką inspiracją i dowodem na to, że niemożliwe nie istnieje.
Pełnoletni już Mikołaj z miejscowości Leszczydół Nowiny w woj. mazowieckim zaczął chorować kiedy miał 6 tygodni. Po 5 latach stawiania błędnych diagnoz okazało się, że chłopiec cierpi na postępującą, genetyczną, śmiertelną chorobę, jaka jest mukowiscydoza. Życie całej rodziny zaczęło kręcić się wokół drenaży, inhalacji, rehabilitacji i licznych pobytów w szpitalach. Niedawno u Mikołaja zdiagnozowano drugą genetyczną chorobę – Zespół Gilberta. Oprócz tego nastolatek cierpi na wiele schorzeń współistniejących, m.in. niewydolność trzustki, alergie, przewlekłe zapalenie zatok, bóle stawów. Pomimo intensywnego leczenia, jego stan zdrowia pogarsza się.
Mikołaj stara się być aktywny, pomimo licznych ograniczeń, jakim musi się podporządkować. Trenował karate, chodzi na siłownię, lubi grać w koszykówkę. W wolnym czasie chętnie czyta książki i majsterkuje.
Mikołaj bardzo lubi grać w gry komputerowe i uczyć się od mistrzów w tej dyscyplinie. Ma swojego ulubionego e-sportowca, z którymi bardzo chciałby się spotkać – Jarosława Jarząbkowskiego (vel Pashe Biceps). Nastolatek byłby również zachwycony, mogąc poznać osobiście Piotra Skowyrskiego (vel Izak), który komentuje zmagania graczy i prowadzi kanał internetowy.

Oscar’s Mission
A $50 donation to 13 year-old Oscar Oliver’s “Buy a Backpack” Humanitarian Mission buys a new Backpack, filled with personal hygiene supplies, essential clothing, educational items, toys, games & candy.
Oscar will travel to Warsaw, Poland, later in March on his first trip of 2023, to pack the backpacks and load 3 trucks.
The first truck will deliver his backpacks directly to Ukrainian war affected children, living in orphanages in Ukraine, including the “Children’s Town Residential Care Orphanage” in Pokrovsk, which is in the Dontesk region where the fighting is really bad.
The second truck, from Ecolines in Lodz, Poland, will deliver his backpacks to three charity organizations in Turkey, including the Turkish Religious Foundation in Ankara. They will then distribute his backpacks to displaced Turkish children who are victims of the terrible earthquake in Kahramanmaras, which has killed so many and left tens of thousands homeless and fighting for survival.
Oscar will be going in the third truck to deliver his backpacks to the children’s orphanage in Bielsko-Biała, which is home to all the orphans from Vinnytsia Oblast, in the center of Ukraine.
“Wherever in the world there is a catastrophe that affects children, I want my “Buy a Backpack” campaign to be there to help”, said Oscar.
Oscar’s campaign is coordinated with the help of the Children’s Foundation in Poland, Fundacja Dziecięca Fantazja, who purchase the backpacks and supplies on his behalf and helps arrange and coordinate the transportation and destinations of the backpacks for Oscar

The first deliveries in 2023 of Oscar’s “backpacks of comfort” will arrive for the children in time for Easter. “These innocent children in both countries have really suffered”, said Oscar. “Many of the Ukrainian children caught up in this terrible war have been abandoned in orphanages. They come from troubled homes or saw their parents killed during the fighting. The Turkish children who are victims of a massive earthquake have lost everything”, he said. “All the children are scared and frightened and I want to try and bring a smile to their faces and to show someone from far away cares”. “I’m on a “Kids for Kids” mission and I want to help as many as I can”.
Oscar’s Target
During 2022, Oscar raised a total of 1,862 backpacks through three separate “Buy a Backpack” campaigns which he organized after the war in Ukraine began. Each backpack was filled with school supplies, various gifts, toiletries, candy & LEGO and Oscar delivered these to Ukrainian war refugee children in Poland and children’s organizations, including children living with health, physical and mental challenges.
For his 2023 Humanitarian Missions, Oscar is determined to raise another 1,133 filled backpacks for children affected by the war in Ukraine and the earthquake in Turkey. This will then bring his “Buy a Backpack” campaign total to 3,000 backpacks. “Whatever number of backpacks I raise, I will split them equally between the countries”, said Oscar.
Oliwia, aged 12, donating her Guinness world record certificate and signed world record figure skate to a child with spina bifida
“The war in Ukraine has affected and devastated the lives of thousands of children. There are over 105,000 child orphans living in 750 institutions in Ukraine. Half of these children are social orphans with a disability, with no home to go back to”, said Oscar. “The earthquake in Turkey is the largest earthquake in the world for over 10 years. The children must feel so frightened and insecure, not knowing if another quake will hit soon. Through my Buy a Backpack campaign I know that even an item as small as a backpack with small personal gifts can mean so much to others in need”, he said.
We hope that Oscar’s commitment, love and compassion to the children affected by war and earthquake will encourage you to make a donation to support his mission.

7-letni Michał z Oleszna w woj. dolnośląskim urodził się jako wcześniak. Po kilu pierwszych tygodniach lekarze zdiagnozowali u maluszka mózgowe porażenie dziecięce. Chłopiec cierpi na porażenie dwukończynowe, nie chodzi. Choroba nie przeszkadza mu jednak w poznawaniu świata w domu i w szkole.
Michał pasjonuje się kolejnictwem i piłka nożną. Jest zagorzałym kibicem FC Barcelona. Lubi oglądać mecze. Jednak jego wielkim pragnieniem jest spotkanie z jakimś znanym piłkarzem. Chciałby porozmawiać z nim o tajnikach futbolu.

14 – letni Tomek z Łagiewnik w woj. dolnośląskim zachorował w wakacje 2018 roku, a właściwie wtedy jego mama zauważyła powiększony węzeł chłonny. Nic nie zapowiadało najgorszego, ale, niestety, okazało się, że młody chłopak ma nowotwór złośliwy – chłoniaka. Rozpoczęło się intensywne leczenie cytostatykami, które Tomek bardzo źle znosił. Pojawiły się napady padaczkowe. Po zakończeniu leczenia szpitalnego wprowadzono chemię podtrzymującą.
Tomek ma wielką pasję, której poświęca każdą wolną chwilę – pisanie bajek. Nastolatek uwielbia tworzyć swój własny świat i wymyślać postaci. Ciągle poszukuje informacji, szczególnie na temat animacji poklatkowej, która stanowi jego ulubioną technikę. Jego największym marzeniem jest kurs animacji poklatkowej w Bielsku-Białej w studio bajek. Taki kurs przybliży Tomka do profesjonalnego tworzenia bajek.

14-letnia Alicja z Tarnobrzegu choruje od urodzenia na glikogenozę. Glikogenozy, czyli choroby spichrzeniowe glikogenu to grupa chorób rzadkich należących do wrodzonych wad metabolizmu. Mogą spowodować poważne uszkodzenia wątroby, nerek oraz mięśni, w tym serca. Dodatkowo schorzeniu towarzyszą spadki poziomu glukozy, które mogą nawet zagrozić życiu chorego. Alicja cierpi dodatkowo na niedosłuch i nadciśnienie tętnicze, które są następstwami choroby. Nie istnieje leczenie przyczynowe, dlatego aby zapobiegać powikłaniom i zapewnić prawidłowy rozwój, stosuje się bardzo rygorystyczne leczenie dietetyczne.
Największym marzeniem Ali jest nowoczesny smartfon z wieloma funkcjami, który ułatwiłby jej kontakty z bliskimi i rówieśnikami, zwłaszcza wtedy, kiedy choroba szczególnie daje jej się we znaki. Dla nastolatki, a już zwłaszcza chorej nastolatki dobry telefon to podstawowe narzędzie komunikacji.
