Alicja
Genetic defect
Września
Alicia is seven years old today. She was born with a genetic defect that no one else in the world has – multiple duplication of chromosome 3 (3p26.3p14.2). Doctors gave her no chance of survival, yet the girl proves every day how great her will to survive is.
She has already undergone 10 complicated surgeries, including one that involved as many as four procedures at once. And more awaits her, but that doesn’t stop her from being a cheerful, happy little girl who loves animals, especially cats and dogs.
Alice doesn’t speak, but she has been learning alternative communication since she was three years old. She is perfectly capable of expressing her emotions through gestures and behavior.
Living with a genetic defect is also associated with other health problems: severe visual impairment, hearing loss, scoliosis, hip dysplasia, and epilepsy.
The girl recently underwent major orthopedic surgery, thanks to which she began to take her first steps with the help of a walker and a guide. This is a huge success, but she still has a long way to go to improve her dexterity.
Outside, Alicia gets around with the help of an active wheelchair. However, she has outgrown her current equipment and needs a new one that is tailored to her needs. It will allow her to explore the world and actively spend time with her family. And above all, it will improve her health.
The worsening scoliosis means Alicia needs proper support. A special Kozlik Junior wheelchair with additional equipment such as body support pelvises will ensure optimal positioning. The collection also includes necessary accessories: a winter sleeping bag, a stroller insert and off-road tires due to the difficult terrain where the girl’s family lives.
The specialist points out that regular outdoor activity will improve Alicia’s respiratory capacity and strengthen her cardiovascular system. The girl will also experience a wide range of stimuli, which will help in the process of sensory integration and benefit the functioning of the nervous system.
The purchase of the multifunctional wheelchair is a chance for Alicja to continue living an active life and improve her health.
Let’s help Alicia live an active life and explore the world!

You make a donation to the Kanga Foundation’s account in the cryptocurrency of your choice.
Once a specified value of cryptocurrencies is collected, the Kanga Foundation converts them into PLN.
The Kanga Foundation team purchases the necessary equipment and delivers it to those in need.
Help us fulfill the dreams of those in need!
Material things alone don’t bring happiness, but they can significantly ease life. Having the right orthopedic, auditory, rehabilitation equipment, communication aids, or other assistive devices makes life much easier for people with disabilities.
Here’s why it’s worth supporting our efforts:
Responsibility
We vet candidates for support, ensuring that your contributions go where they are truly needed.
Efficiency
In the past 6 months, we have successfully completed 6 fundraising campaigns. Each of these has provided concrete help to children.
Transparency
We convert the collected cryptocurrencies into PLN and purchase equipment, overseeing the process to ensure that every złoty is spent wisely.
Support needed?
If:
Are you a parent or guardian of a child under 18 years old?
Does your child have a disability and need equipment (e.g., wheelchair, AAC tablet, FM system)?
Are you unable to meet these needs on your own or with the support of the NFZ or other institutions?
You can use any cryptocurrency that can be exchanged for the stablecoin oPLN (a stablecoin pegged to the Polish złoty, PLN) on trade.kanga.exchange. 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.
Do I need to be a Kanga customer to donate to the foundation?
It is not necessary. If you would like to donate your cryptocurrencies to a specific collection via Kanga Pay or internal transfer, create an account at trade.kanga.exchange and fund your wallet. The amount will be debited from your wallet. If you would like to support the foundation by sending crypto over the blockchain or making a bank transfer – you don’t need an account on the Kanga exchange.
How can I donate to the current fundraising campaign?
There are 4 options available to you:
Through Kanga Pay: after clicking the “support” button and selecting a donation value, generate a Kanga Pay code. You can generate the code either by clicking on the “Kanga Pay” menu after logging into trade.kanga.exchange or in the Kanga Wallet mobile app.
By internal transfer: following the instructions, which are here.
Over the blockchain network: log into your wallet (hardware, browser-based – such as Metamask or other), select a currency, from https://kanga.exchange/pl/fundacja (TAKE NOTE OF WHAT NETWORK YOU ARE SENDING ON), paste the address into your wallet, enter the transfer amount and confirm.
By bank transfer.
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 will buy equipment for someone with my cryptocurrencies?
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, on the other hand, you support the foundation by other means – the funds can also be used for such expenses as marketing the collection/foundation or travel to the wards to hand over the purchased equipment. 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?
You can donate to the foundation’s statutory purposes by transferring even 1 penny to our bank account! For supporting a specific fundraising, the minimum donation is set at a value equivalent to 1 PLN in cryptocurrencies. Of course, we encourage higher donations 🙂
Do I incur any additional fees as a donor?
When donating via Kanga Pay, a fee of 0.5% of the transaction amount is automatically charged (the fee is charged in connection with the service provider’s activities and does not constitute any compensation to the Foundation). After the collection, when selling the collected cryptocurrencies to purchase FIAT currencies and for the subsequent purchase of equipment, an intermediary commission is charged to GoCash in the amount of 0.4%. 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 equipment can I apply to you as a person in need?
This can include, but is not limited to: a wheelchair, orthosis, orthopedic seat, hearing aid, speech aid, verticalizer, stationary bicycle, and even a car seat! The equipment catalog is open – if you need something different – tell us about it and we will consider it!
The KRS number for donating 1.5% of your tax is different from the KRS number of Kanga Foundation, as it belongs to the Młodzi-Młodym Foundation.
The Młodzi-Młodym Foundation has Public Benefit Organization (OPP) status, unlike Kanga Foundation. Therefore, the Młodzi-Młodym Foundation collects 1.5% of the tax on behalf of Kanga Foundation and transfers it to us.
