Poniżej tłumaczenie drugiej "ogólnej" wersji listu. Pozwoliłam sobie wprowadzić drobną zmianę - zamiast "
przysługuje nam prawo złożenia wniosku o refundację" dałam w wersji angielskiej "złożymy wniosek o refundację", żeby osoba czytająca wiedziała, że to rzeczywiście się stanie.
Postaram się w tym tygodniu przetłumaczyć stronkę Mai na angielski, mam dużo pracy ale na pewno wykroję czas dla Niej!
Ogromne całusy dla Majeczki!!!! I pozdrowienia dla wszystkich forumowiczek starających się Jej pomóc!
Dear Recipient of this urgent message,
I am the mother of a wonderful girl who was born with a complicated heart defect (pulmonary artery atresia with ventricular defect). The defect is inoperable in our country, Poland.
However, my child still has chances to have a normal life, as Dr Hanley – the best cardiac surgeon in the world who has successfully operated such defects – works in Stanford, California. Looking for help for our little daughter Maja, we want her to be looked after by the best specialist.
Dr Hanley is interested in our story and he has asked us to perform more medical examinations, but he emphasises that the operation will be very expensive (preliminary estimate: ca. USD 500,000), and so will be my stay at the hospital with the baby.
The life of our little angel has a high price; unfortunately, her condition is deteriorating with every lung infection. Help must arrive as soon as possible. My husband and I are doing our best to collect this enormous amount of money, but in our country it would involve winning a lottery.
Time is working to our disadvantage and I fear we may not manage to collect that much money in time. Every day, as I watch my child suffer and fight with pain, my heart breaks and I lose my faith in the meaning of life. I do not need anything else but rescue to our only child. That is why I am asking you – PLEASE help us, I believe you help us save this little life.
I am most eagerly asking you, the person reading this letter, because it only depends on you if other people – who will be able to help us collect the money or share their ideas how to do it – will hear about us.
Power of the media and press is the only way to find help for my child.
Of course, we will file with the Ministry of Health an application for reimbursement of foreign treatment costs, but for their “YES” or “NO” reply we will have to wait for some 6 months; taking into account the situation in the Polish Health Service and the fact that increasing numbers of people are applying for such assistance, we cannot be certain if our child will receive it.
Recently, the cardiovascular system of little Maja has been getting increasingly inefficient – her body is growing but her vessels which currently provide her lungs with oxygen loaded blood are not
. It is a nightmare to see your own child suffer so much. Nobody can help her but the operation which can let her live normally. Our house is practically a small hospital now. Our daughter’s room contains lots of medical equipment such as an inhalator, scales, pulse oximeter, discharge aspirator, oxygen concentrator, as well as tons of medications. Although the hospital environment is dangerous to our daughter, this is where Maja has spent most of her life so far – to cure pneumonia which in her case is always a hazard to life.
The worst thing is the awareness that our little angel could have a normal life, but because her life has such a high price, we sentence her to lifelong suffering, painful therapies and literally – to slow and gradual dying, without knowing if she will die within a month, a year, or two years
.
As soon as you say you can help in our hopeless situation, I will send in the medical documentation of Maja, confirming her tragedy is true. An internet site of Maja with our call for help should be ready next week. I am begging you to write back to us, I will be waiting for your message every day – even if you write to say you cannot help us… I must know I have done everything for my baby.
With best regards,
Monika Błońska
