Krzysiu’s Battle Against Cancer: A Cry for Help
My little Krzysiu is suffering so much... The cruel cancer continues to ravage his tiny body. But we are not giving up. Unfortunately, time is running out to raise the necessary funds... We urgently need help! This is a call for full mobilization!
We have just entered the final stage of treatment in Poland — immunotherapy. This is an incredibly difficult time for Krzysiu. For ten days, my son must be hooked up to a large number of wires, with his vital signs constantly monitored: heart rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and breathing. The treatment itself is excruciatingly painful. Krzysiu is being administered morphine to try and ease his suffering.
The Excruciating Pain of Treatment
Unfortunately, the side effects of the treatment are horrendous. Krzysiu’s blood pressure has dropped dangerously low, and his body has become swollen, adding 2 kilograms of weight from fluid retention. He’s also struggling with urination, a result of the harsh impact of the medications. My poor son is enduring unimaginable pain, but this is the only way we can fight the cancer. We have no other choice.
The road ahead is long and filled with uncertainty. Krzysiu must undergo five more cycles of immunotherapy, spaced three weeks apart. In the middle of the treatment, we are required to send the results of his follow-up tests to a clinic in the United States and make a payment for treatment. However, we don’t have the funds required to pay for the treatment to prevent recurrence in the U.S... and it is the only hope we have to ensure that the cancer doesn’t return and take Krzysiu from us.
A Mother’s Desperate Plea
I am writing to you with a broken heart. Every day I watch my son endure this unimaginable battle. He is so strong, yet he is still just a little boy. His dreams, his laughter, and his innocence have all been stolen by this merciless disease. As a mother, there is nothing more painful than seeing your child suffer, knowing there’s nothing you can do to take away their pain.
But I won’t stop fighting for him. I will not give up. I am fighting for every moment of joy he still has, for every smile, for every step forward, no matter how small.
Please, we are asking for help once again. We need your support to get through this difficult time. The funds we need are huge, and we are running out of time. Krzysiu has already endured so much, and we can’t bear the thought of him losing his fight to this disease. His life is at stake, and we are doing everything in our power to give him a chance to survive.
The Urgency of Our Situation
The treatment Krzysiu is undergoing is not only physically demanding but emotionally draining for all of us. As a family, we are constantly living on edge, afraid of what tomorrow may bring. Every phone call, every doctor’s visit, and every test result feels like a countdown to a future we can only pray will be a good one.
We are in the middle of a race against time. The immunotherapy treatment is crucial, but we still have to face the financial hurdle of the follow-up treatment in the United States. The treatment there is the last hope to keep Krzysiu cancer-free. We must act quickly, or we risk losing this precious opportunity for his survival.
Please share Krzysiu’s story. Let your friends and family know about his fight. Every donation, every kind word, every prayer can make a world of difference. We are holding on to hope, but we cannot do this alone.
Krzysiu’s Journey: The Road Ahead
Despite the pain and suffering, Krzysiu remains strong. He continues to fight, and as his parents, we will never stop fighting for him. But we need your help to ensure that he gets the treatment he so desperately needs. The road ahead is still filled with challenges, but with your help, we can give Krzysiu the chance he deserves.
Thank you for everything you’ve already done for us. Your support means more than words can express. We will continue to be strong for Krzysiu, but we cannot do this without you.
Please, help us bring hope back to our little boy’s life. With your help, we can fight cancer together.
A Heartfelt Thank You
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness and generosity. Every step of this journey has been a difficult one, but knowing that we are not alone in this fight gives us the strength to keep going. We are grateful for your support, and together, we will fight for Krzysiu’s future.
Please, continue to stand with us as we fight for his life. Every little bit counts, and together, we can make a difference.
With all our love and gratitude,
Krzysiu’s family
Amari’s Brave Fight: A Little Heart with a Mighty Spirit.1245
Amari’s Story – A Little Heart, A Mighty Fight
There are journeys in life no parent ever wishes to take, yet sometimes life gives us no choice. When that moment comes, the only thing left is to walk forward with love, faith, and hope. This is the story of Amari, a five-month-old baby boy who has already faced more battles than most of us will ever encounter in a lifetime.
Amari was born into love. His parents and five older siblings had been waiting eagerly for his arrival, dreaming of the laughter and joy another little one would bring into their home. But from the very beginning, Amari’s life was marked by struggle.
Doctors discovered that he had congenital heart disease (HLHS Variant – Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome), along with a floppy airway and multiple chromosome deletions (12q13.3q14.1). These weren’t just small medical issues—they were life-threatening challenges that would require round-the-clock care and multiple major surgeries.
When Amari was only two weeks old, he was admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. On November 1, 2023, his family received the devastating confirmation: their baby had congenital heart disease. Just one week later, on November 8, Amari underwent his first open-heart surgery.
The thought of such a tiny infant lying on an operating table, his chest opened to give his fragile heart a chance to keep beating, was almost too much for his parents to bear. Yet Amari, against all odds, survived that first surgery.
But the battle didn’t end there. On January 5, 2024, Amari faced his second open-heart surgery—known as the Norwood procedure. This operation is the first of three surgeries designed to restructure the heart so that it can function as a single ventricle. For most babies with HLHS, this is a critical step toward survival. The doctors made it clear: one day, Amari will almost certainly need a heart transplant to continue living.
Since his birth, Amari has spent more time with breathing tubes than without them. He has been intubated for nearly his entire life, with only seven short weeks free of the ventilator. The most recent time he was able to breathe without the tube, it lasted only three days before his fragile airway collapsed again.
After multiple failed attempts at removing the breathing tube, the doctors delivered another difficult decision: Amari would need a tracheostomy.
In the coming weeks, surgeons will create a permanent opening in Amari’s neck to help him breathe. For his parents, this is both heartbreaking and hopeful. It is another surgery, another scar, another reminder of how fragile his body is. Yet it also brings the possibility of stability—of finally giving Amari the chance to breathe more comfortably and grow stronger.
Amari’s daily life is shaped not only by machines and surgeries, but also by the delicate balance of medications that keep him comfortable. For months, he had been given morphine to ease his pain, but over time his little body grew so accustomed to it that it no longer helped.
Recently, the doctors switched him to fentanyl, and for the first time in a long time, Amari seemed at peace. He became more relaxed, even happy—his little face lighting up again with the innocence of a baby who simply wants to be loved.
But even as Amari finds moments of comfort, his family struggles with the weight of separation. Amari is the youngest of six children, and his siblings miss him terribly. They want nothing more than to see their baby brother, to hug him, to make him giggle the way older siblings do.
Unfortunately, because of Amari’s weakened immune system, they cannot visit the hospital as often as they wish. The risk of infection is simply too high. And with the hospital being so far from home, every visit becomes a challenge. The distance is measured not only in miles but also in longing—the ache of siblings who just want their family to be whole again.
For Amari’s parents, every day is a mixture of fear and hope. They watch monitors blink and machines hum, knowing their baby’s life depends on every number and sound. They cling to the moments when Amari smiles or relaxes, seeing those as glimpses of the boy they long to bring home.
They pray for the tracheostomy to go smoothly, for Amari’s heart to stay strong, and for the day when they can finally carry him out of the hospital and back into the arms of his family.
What makes Amari’s story so extraordinary is not just the medical journey, but the resilience of a child so young and the fierce love surrounding him. His parents have learned to celebrate small victories: a good night’s rest, a stable heart rate, a comfortable smile. These moments may seem ordinary to some, but to them, they are miracles.
Amari’s life is also a powerful reminder of the strength found in community. His family asks for one simple gift from those who hear his story: prayer. Prayer for his healing. Prayer for his tracheostomy surgery to succeed. Prayer for his siblings to be reunited with him soon. Prayer for the day when Amari can come home.
Because sometimes, when the weight of the unknown is too heavy, the only thing that sustains us is faith—the belief that love, prayer, and hope can carry us where science and medicine cannot.
Amari may be the youngest in his family, but he has already become its bravest warrior. His battle is far from over, yet his story is filled with resilience, with love, and with the possibility of miracles.
To everyone reading this: please hold Amari in your thoughts. Please whisper his name in your prayers. May his tiny heart, though imperfect, continue to beat strong. May his family find comfort in knowing that they are not walking this journey alone. And may this little boy, born with so many obstacles, one day come home to the laughter, warmth, and love he so richly deserves.
