For Wiktor, independence has always been a dream fought for and cherished. Born with myotubular myopathy, a serious and progressive muscle disorder, Wiktor’s world was once defined by dependence—on parents, caregivers, and medical equipment. But a few years ago, that world expanded dramatically when he received an electric wheelchair. Suddenly, a little boy who had spent so much of his life confined to the limits of his own body could move freely, explore, and experience the joy of independence. The first time his tiny hand gripped the joystick and propelled him forward, disbelief and joy lit up his parents’ faces. Their son—so dependent, so fragile—had taken a monumental step toward freedom, a moment that would forever remain etched in their hearts.

The wheelchair became more than a tool; it was Wiktor’s gateway to life. It allowed him to venture beyond the walls of his home, to feel the wind on his face, to play, to socialize, to simply be a child. Even on difficult days, when his respirator and mask tethered him to dependence, Wiktor longed to sit in his wheelchair. For him, that brief time spent controlling his own movement brought immeasurable joy, a glimpse of autonomy that fueled his spirit and courage.

Yet now, that independence is under threat. Wiktor has outgrown his current wheelchair. The spex system that once supported his spine is no longer sufficient. Without proper support, his scoliosis is worsening, and the risks of using the wheelchair increase with each passing day. The device that has given him freedom, mobility, and the confidence to engage with the world is slowly becoming a source of limitation and danger.

Wiktor’s parents watch with heavy hearts. They know how transformative that wheelchair has been for their son. It has given him more than movement—it has given him life beyond medical devices, a chance to experience the world, to be brave, to connect, and to grow. Through every walk, every game, every school activity, and every rehabilitation session, his wheelchair has been his constant companion. Now, without a new wheelchair equipped with the SPEX system, that freedom—and the progress he has made—could be taken away.

Rehabilitation remains another critical piece of Wiktor’s journey. His condition is progressive, and only consistent, intensive therapy can slow the effects of myotubular myopathy. Every session strengthens his muscles, maintains his mobility, and preserves what independence he has fought so hard to achieve. Every donation, every act of support, ensures that he continues to develop, to live as fully as his condition allows, and to feel the simple joys that most children take for granted.

Wiktor’s journey is one of extraordinary courage. Each day, he pushes himself beyond what his body seems capable of, overcoming obstacles that for other children are trivial. Yet even with his determination, Wiktor cannot face these challenges alone. The wheelchair is not just a machine—it is the foundation of his freedom, the instrument that allows him to explore, learn, and feel the wind in his hair. Without it, his independence and quality of life are at risk.

Thanks to the support of generous donors, Wiktor has experienced moments of true freedom and joy. He has felt the exhilaration of moving independently, discovered the confidence that comes from control, and gained the chance to experience the world in ways that would have been impossible without his wheelchair. The impact of that support cannot be overstated: it has given a little boy the gift of autonomy, the joy of exploration, and the courage to dream beyond the limitations of his condition.

Today, Wiktor’s family appeals once more to the community. They are asking for help to provide a new electric wheelchair with an updated SPEX system, essential for his spinal support and continued safe mobility. They are also seeking support for ongoing rehabilitation, the only path that can halt the progression of his disease and maintain his independence. Every contribution helps ensure that Wiktor can continue to go not just where he has to, but wherever his spirit and dreams can take him.

Wiktor’s story is a testament to resilience, hope, and the transformative power of support. It is about a little boy who refuses to be limited by his condition, a child who has discovered the meaning of freedom and independence against all odds. With a new wheelchair and continued rehabilitation, Wiktor can keep exploring, keep growing, and keep living the life that every child deserves—the life that is rightfully his.

Every donation, every share, every act of kindness helps protect that freedom. For Wiktor, the world is waiting to be explored, one joystick movement at a time. And with your help, he can continue to take those steps toward independence, joy, and the boundless possibilities that life still holds.
