Szymon's acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment fund
Supporting Szymon through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to the Warsaw Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world4,781 views
Szymon was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August. The oncology team at the Warsaw Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Szymon is 40, worked as a bakery worker 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 2 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 $4,100 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $165
• Scans and lab work: $520
• Transport to the Warsaw Oncology Institute: $190
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,225

Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
hang in there, Kazimierz. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 4 people at work.
Take care, Kazimierz. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from New Orleans.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Warsaw!
Thank you. If you're in Warsaw I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Mecca but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Szymon
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team comes first ($165) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hang in there. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
how is Szymon doing now?
Take care. Get well soon. Take care.
Rooting for you, Kazimierz. Your post was clear and honest. I hope November is when things finally get easier!
Keep going, Kazimierz. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Sending love, Kazimierz. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
so sorry you're going through this, Kazimierz. Looking forward to the next update
Wishing you peace, Kazimierz. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
