Dear Friends,
I'm reaching out to share the story of my close friend, Tomek, who is facing a critical health challenge. In November 2024, Tomek, a devoted husband and father of two, was diagnosed with myxoid liposarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer that has since spread to his lungs and liver. Despite undergoing intensive chemotherapy in Poland, the tumors have continued to grow, leaving limited treatment options available locally.
After extensive research and consultations, we've discovered a promising immunotherapy treatment available in the United States. This innovative therapy has shown effectiveness in treating specific types of sarcomas, offering hope where conventional treatments have fallen short. Unfortunately, as this treatment is only available in the U.S. and Tomek is not a U.S. citizen, he is not eligible for health insurance coverage there. This means he must bear the full cost of treatment, which is estimated to exceed $700,000. This staggering amount covers the medication, hospital stays, and associated medical expenses.
The urgency of Tomek's situation cannot be overstated. Without access to this treatment, his options are severely limited.We are rallying together to raise the necessary funds to give Tomek a fighting chance against this relentless disease and to ensure he can continue to be there for his family.
Here's how you can help:
- Donate: Any contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal.
- Share: Please share Tomek's story within your networks to spread awareness.
- Support: Your messages of hope and encouragement mean the world to Tomek and his family.
Thank you for taking the time to read Tomek's story and for any support you can provide.
Warm regards,
Jacek
