Warsaw

Rafał was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in May. The oncology team at Warsaw University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Rafał is 40, worked as a bus conductor until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Warsaw University Hospital 3 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,800 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $600 • Transport to Warsaw University Hospital: $170 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,300 • Scans and lab work: $730 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
