Recently an evening of dinner and dancing was planned to provide the gift of hope to a woman who has spent more than half of her life fighting a progressively debilitating disease.  Dorota Dabrowska – Paciorek was only 18-years-old when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.  She has spent most of the past decade in a wheelchair. Kasia Kadzielska, a sales rep with Sutton Group – West Coast Realty in Coquitlam helped promote the urgent fundraiser. 

“It is so hard to imagine what she goes through each day,” says Kadzielska.  “Somehow, Dorota endures the discomfort, tiredness, sleepless nights and lack of mobility that this illness has inflicted upon her.  On her worst days, she requires hospitalization, when her weak and vulnerable body no longer has the strength to fight off infections on its own.” 

Dabrowska – Paciorek has been approved for medical treatment in Poland and plans to travel there this summer. These plans are dependent on the outcome of the fundraising efforts. The fundraiser included dinner, dancing and the opportunity to bid on a range of silent auction items.

Anyone who wishes to contribute is invited to donate through a Vancity account established in Dabrowska – Paciorek’s name: Account# 2048817 Branch #52.
