Insulin resistance
Radosław

Radek loves to dance, learn foreign languages and use modern technologies. However, his life is full of challenges. He was diagnosed with considerable intellectual and physical disability. Also, other unfortunate conditions have emerged: insulin resistance and pre-diabetes.
Radek’s problems began when he was only 18 months old. He stopped speaking, became unsteady and started to display unusual behaviour: screaming, beating, hitting walls. As he grew up, the aggressive behaviour minimised, but the difficulties in moving and communicating have remained. The doctors under the National Health Fund in Poland have yet to make any conclusive diagnosis. The clinical trials that would make it possible are payable and Radek’s family cannot afford them. Eventually, the medical board ascertained a severe degree of disability which means that Radek requires constant care.
The family’s financial situation is very difficult. The father works part-time and the mother is unemployed. Out of all the state subsidies the family receives only the care allowances. The tests and diagnoses have been extremely costly. All this means that rehabilitation and specialised treatment are beyond their financial possibilities.
What Radek needs right now is a regular physical activity. He suffers from spinal degeneration, valgus knees and flatfeet. He weighs 120 kg with a height of about 175 cm, thus further weight gain will trigger new issues: diabetes, hypertension and atherosclerosis, all posing a risk of myocardial infraction. Unfortunately, his mother, who also has mobility issues herself, is not able to accompany him on daily walks and Radek’s disability prevents him from leaving home unattended.
At school, Radek likes to exercise on a treadmill and a stationery bike. The treadmill would not fit in his home, so we began to search for a stationery bike that would be suitable for Radek. The physiotherapist recommended training on inSPORTline inCondi R600i bike.
This equipment, fitted with a chest belt monitoring the heart rate, blood pressure and calories burnt, would be an ideal option for Radek. It is a specialised bike that will support Radek in improving physical capacity, reducing muscle tension and, most of all, weight loss. An indoor stationary bike would not only address the low activity level but also the lack of possibility of outdoor trainings assisted by his parents. And the consequences of immobility can be fatal – without the bike Radek’s life may be in danger.
Let’s help Radek look after his health!

A list of available cryptocurrencies will be displayed during the payment process. Through an internal transfer or on the blockchain, you can pay with any cryptocurrency.

What if you don’t raise enough money to buy the equipment?
Our fundraising campaigns are not time-limited, so we do not anticipate this scenario. However, if for some reason the fundraising is stopped – we will inform you about it and choose the best solution.
What guarantee do I have that you do use my cryptocurrencies for buying someone equipment?
When you click the ‘donate’ button beneath the fundraising progress bar, we are committed to using your donation specifically for the intended fundraising purpose. If, however, you choose to support the foundtion in a different way, the money can also be used for collection/foundation marketing purposes or travel expenses for delivering the equipment to the beneficiary. This also applies to any excess funds you contribute (i.e., donations exceeding the target amount needed to conclude the fundraising).
What is the minimum donation amount?
Your donation to the foundation statutory purposes can be made via bank transfer and it can be as little as 1 penny! In case of specific fundraising, the minimum donation is set at a value equivalent to 1 PLN in cryptocurrencies. We warmly encourage you to make generous contributions 🙂
Will I have to pay any additional charges as a donor?
When depositing via Kanga Pay, a 0.5% fee is automatically charged on the transaction amount (the fee is charged in connection with the service provider’s activities and does not constitute any remuneration to the Foundation). After the donation campaign, when selling the collected cryptocurrencies to purchase FIAT currencies and for the subsequent purchase of equipment, a commission of 0.4% is charged to the GoCash intermediary. In a situation where you deposit money through a traditional bank transfer – the price list of the bank where you have an account applies.
What kind of equipment can I request from you as a person in need?
You can apply for a wheelchair, prosthesis, orthopedic seat, hearing aid, FM system, verticalizer, stationary bicycle, and even car seat!. Our equipment catalog is flexible; if you need something not listed, please let us know!
