Help Darko to walk again

Hi there,

My name is Darko. Some of you know me, and others will just get to know me a little bit by reading my story. 3 months ago, my life has changed dramatically. I had Covid and purulent ear infection and in the middle of the infection got meningitis. Since the symptoms were hard to distinguish from another my situation got worse rapidly, and I was half conscious when I ended up in a hospital where they had to induce a coma due to the severity of my condition. To make things even more complicated, in an induced coma I suffered from a stroke. The doctors were fighting for my life. I was in an induced coma for 20 days and when I woke up half of my body was not in function.

I cannot move my right hand and my leg, and my eyesight and hearing deteriorated. I am currently in the Krapinske Toplice rehabilitation centre where I can stay for another 2-3 weeks. There are small improvements in the treatment so far, but due to the severity of my condition, the recovery will require dedication and years of persistent effort. I will need private and very expensive medical care if I want to recover my vital functions and be able to walk again. Your help would enable me to get the specialised therapy that is needed for cases like mine. I have found several options for rehabilitation in Zagreb so the funds would be used to pay for the treatments and accommodation for me and my family since I am still dependent on others people's help. Before the accident, I started to build my apartment in my family's house with a group of friends. I would like to finish this project that would enable me to live independently after I come back to my home town. This way I would be close to my parents but not in their own space.

Therefore, I am asking for your help. The recovery will be long and expensive, and any little help counts. Please help me bring my life back to the point I can function without depending on others' help and a wheelchair. I am a photographer and a videographer, and I would like to be able to use my body to create the things I love again.

Pozdrav..

Neki od vas me poznaju, a neki ce me tek pomalo upoznati citajuci ovu pricu. Prije 3 mjeseca se dogodio splet nesretnih okolnosti koje su mi promijenile zivot.

Prvo sam dobio Covid i gnjojnu upalu uha, pa samo nekoliko dana nakon meningitis. S obzirom da je simptome bilo tesko razaznati od jedne do druge infekcije zavrsio sam u bolnici jer sam ostao napola bez svijesti. Prijatelji su me pronasli u krevetu te sam hitno odvezen u bolnicu. Doktori su rekli da ce se morati boriti za moj zivot jer je stanje bilo kriticno I stavili su me u induciranu komu u kojoj sam proveo 20 dana. U komi sam dobio I mozdani udar te je sve navedeno iznad na moje zdravlje ostavilo ozbiljne posljedice. Dobio sam hemiparezu desne strane tijela sta znači da ne mogu micat desnu nogu ni ruku, te mi isto tako ne rade ni facijalni misici.Nastradao je i moj okulomotorni zivac te se moje oči ne pokreću u svim smjerovima a u nekim kutevima vidim duplo. Trenutno sam u Krapinskim toplicama na rehabilitaciji do polovice 09 mjeseca. Pomaka u lijecenju ima al je on za sada minimalan te ce moje stanje zahtjevat godine rehabilitacije, discipliranosti i truda.Razmisljajuci o svim opcijama koje postoje od dana kada izadjem iz toplica bio sam primoran napraviti crowdfunding stranicu. Rehabilitacija za slucajeve kao sto sam ja je skupa I dugotrajna. Ovim putem vasa pomoc bi mi omogucila cjeloviti pristup oporavku; suvremene metode fizioterapije, pomagala I pomoc oko smjestaja tokom lijecenja u Zagrebu I mogucnost da samnom borave prijatelji I obitelj posto jos uvijek nisam samostalan.Prošle godine zapoceo sam projekt gradnje stana u potkrovlju sa prijateljima. Dovrsetak tog projekta omogućio bi mi da imam prostor u kom mogu samostalno zivjeti. Voljeo bih dovrsiti izgradnju prostora kako bi mogao imati prostor u kojem nisam primoran zivjeti sa roditeljima a opet sam dovoljno blizu.

Prije ove nesrece sam se bavio fotografijom I snimanjem I moj oporavak u nekoliko slijedecih mjeseci je kljucan kako bi povratio samostalnost kretanja I mogucnost da ponovo radim posao koji mi znaci zivot. Zahvaljujem svima koji mi mogu pomoci da se priblizim korak blize zivotu koji sam prije imao.
