Marianna’s request


Dear Children Cancer Foundation,

My name is Marianna Sz., I am 20 years old, and I live in Bátya. In 2008, I was diagnosed with Ewing-sarcoma. I received 8 chemotherapies, a stem-cell treatment, and I even underwent hip replacement surgery.

After much suffering and a long recovery, now I can say that I am symptom-free, thank God. I received a lot of support from you Foundation, in the form of financial subsidy and nutrition supplements. Thank you very much for that! I hope I can rely on you in the next two years as well.

I am writing to ask if it is possible to increase my monthly financial support by a small amount.

Unfortunately, my family is in a desperate financial situation, both my parents are disability pensioners receiving disability pension, the monthly amount of which is HUF 27,000. Above that, I receive increased child benefit on my own right now that I am over 20, so the amount is HUF 20,300 instead of HUF 25,900. What is more, my allowance for disability granted for 2 years will expire in September this year, I will have to go to the Committee for supervision on 24 October. I will not receive any subsidy until the results of the supervision, and my discount travel pass will expire on 30 September as well.

From September this year, I study law at the Faculty of Las of the University of Szeged. Unfortunately, I was not admitted to the state-funded program (6 points were missing), so we have to pay a tuition fee of HUF 132,000 every semester. We borrowed money from our relatives to be able to pay the tuition fee for this semester, but we do not know how to finance the remaining 5 terms. We are thinking about taking out student loan, but this is the very last option.
I was not admitted to the youth hostel either, because it is not possible for tuition-fee paying students. I have to pay for the rent and I also have to buy a monthly season ticket. My parents cannot cover such expenses, but I would like to have a degree at any cost, and I do not want to stop learning at the university. I think now that I managed to recover from such a serious disease and got another chance, I have to make all efforts to attain my aims.

I would be really grateful if you could increase my monthly subsidy. If it is possible, please, do that for me!

Thank you very much!
Sincerely yours,
Marianna Sz.
