MY NAME IS ANDRZEJ, I TURNED 60 THIS YEAR. ALL MY LIFE I WORKED HARD PHYSICALLY ON BUILDING SITES MAKING ROOFS. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TO STOP WORKING BECAUSE I FELL ILL WITH A BLOOD CANCER - PLASMOCYTIC MYELOMA. I AM NOW A SEVERELY DISABLED PERSON. the illness led to pathological fractures of the vL4 vertebra and the vTh11 vertebral body. IN DECEMBER I WILL HAVE A SPINAL CEMENTATION. THIS PROCEDURE WILL HELP CEMENT THE SPINE, WHICH HAS COUNTLESS HOLES AND NUMEROUS FRACTURES DUE TO MYELOMA. I WENT THROUGH A LONG BATTLE IN THIS CRUEL DISEASE THAT CHANGED MY LIFE OVERNIGHT, NUMEROUS CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENTS AND A BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT. I SURVIVED AND MADE IT THROUGH! THE NEXT STAGE IS TO REPAIR MY SPINE IN ORDER TO BE 100% BACK TO NORMAL. THEN REHABILITATION, WHICH WILL LAST MANY MONTHS. THE MONEY RAISED IN THIS FUNDRAISER WILL GO TOWARDS REHABILITATION, TRAVEL COSTS AND FEES FOR SPECIALISTS TO HELP GET BACK TO FITNESS. AT THE MOMENT, MY ONLY INCOME IS THE MINIMUM I GET FROM REHABILITATION, WHICH COVERS MY MEDICATION AND FOOD. AS FOR THE REST OF THE EXPENSES, MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY HELPS ME FINANCIALLY. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK EVERYONE WHO IS IN A POSITION TO HELP WITH EVEN THE SMALLEST AMOUNT. I WOULD BE GRATEFUL TO EVERY PERSON WHO JOINS IN THE DONATION. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR YOUR HELP ANDRZEJ.
