Warsaw
Mariusz was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August. The oncology team at the Warsaw Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Mariusz is 26, worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 the Warsaw Oncology Institute 4 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 $3,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,750 • Scans and lab work: $330 • Household costs while unable to work: $600 • Transport to the Warsaw Oncology Institute: $470 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    praying for you, Tomasz. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

    • Ryan H. Nguyen

      thinking of you, Tomasz. Wishing Mariusz a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Warsaw.

      • Marta N. Acosta

        Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 26 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        • Masaru Ryota Sato

          Sending good thoughts, Tomasz. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care

          • Ivy Taylor

            So sorry you're going through this, Tomasz. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Jakarta.
