The silence is broken by the sound of a labored and exhausting breath. Each breath is a battle, a desperate attempt to cling to life. Every inhalation is like swallowing thorns, sharp and piercing, scraping and scratching the inside of his throat. Laryngeal paralysis has robbed Marco of his ability to breathe freely. Every intake of air is agony.
The air that once flowed easily now feels like an insurmountable barrier. Marco feels his lungs desperately crying out for oxygen, but the intake is limited, as if an invisible fist is strangling his throat. The sounds he makes while trying to breathe are guttural, raspy; it’s impossible to live this way.
With each attempt, the desperation grows. Marco’s eyes cloud over, and he feels a pressing weight on his chest that doesn’t relent.Marco wants to run, to escape from this betraying body, to find relief in some corner where the air flows freely. His legs tremble, and he feels panic taking over him. Marco tries to look around, searching for a sign, a helping hand, a solution to this torment. But all he finds is darkness and the sound of his breathing, a constant reminder of the battle he faces.
Laryngeal paralysis is a silent enemy, one that steals the essence of what it means to be alive. Every day is a fight, a test of endurance, a race against time. Yet in his heart, Marco has always held onto the hope that someone, somewhere, might hear his plea and offer him a cure to all this pain…
Marco needs to undergo surgery urgently. The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow.

This breaks my heart- to have to fight so hard for each breath. He’s so beautiful. I do give monthly, but did also donate specifically for this precious soul today. 🥰
I have been trying to donate a small amount using my MasterCard but for some unknown reason, it won’t go through. What else can I do to help Marco????
