Zlatoslava is an ordinary girl who has never known an ordinary life. She was not yet two years old when the doctors made a terrible diagnosis – autoimmune diabetes mellitus type I. One day, Zlatoslava refused to get out of bed, and later she ended up in the intensive care unit with sky-high sugar levels. This is how the girl contracted an incurable disease.
For seven years now, Zlatoslava has been living only thanks to constant insulin injections. No teacher, educator, or health care worker is willing to take responsibility for her life and health during school, so the disease has stolen not only a healthy body, but also a normal childhood. Instead, she is left with large doses of insulin, sharp fluctuations in blood sugar levels, and continuous comorbidities.
However, Zlatoslava has a chance to leave behind the need for constant painful injections and the uncertainty that cut her off from the rest of her peers with the help of a continuous glucose monitoring sensor. It's not a luxury – it's a medical necessity that in many countries patients receive free of charge. But the disease takes a toll not only on the physical and moral state, but also on the financial one: a single pensioner mother cannot provide her daughter with even simple natural products, let alone a life-saving device, so she needs help in purchasing sensors for the girl. Help Zlatoslava to regain the opportunities and experience that diabetes has taken away from her!
