Fundraiser description

Szymon, our 12-year-old son, was diagnosed with optic chiasm glioma. Today, there's hope in the fight against cancer – surgery at a clinic in Germany. Unfortunately, it's expensive, so we're asking for your help! This is a great opportunity for our son, and we're afraid we won't be able to take advantage of it due to a lack of necessary funds…

We've been fighting for a long time. In 2023, the diagnosis came, which dramatically changed our family's life. We learned about the cancer by accident. As a student at a sports school, Szymon had periodic eye exams, which revealed abnormalities.

We went to a neurologist, who recommended an MRI. The results showed that our son had a serious tumor, a glioma… Szymon then underwent surgery to partially remove the tumor. So as not to lead to total blindness...

Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of the problems... In June 2024, my son suffered an intracranial hemorrhage/bleeding, which led to hydrocephalus and cerebral edema... Szymon was hospitalized for eight weeks. He has not yet fully regained his physical fitness. The boy, for whom sports are his life, was confined to bed...

In April 2025, another surgery was necessary because the tumor had grown. Unfortunately, it only helped temporarily. And with each tumor growth, problems with walking, concentrating, and eating returned. The entire situation is a huge psychological burden for our son, but we believe the surgery in Germany will prove groundbreaking.

The surgery aims to remove a much larger portion of the tumor, which could restore our son's normal functioning! In Poland, doctors are unable to remove more than they have so far. That's why it's so important to raise funds URGENTLY. Please help us!

For two years now, we've been facing significant expenses. Rehabilitation programs, a psychologist, a speech therapist, physiotherapy, syringes, and probes. And our son's health has forced one of his parents to suspend his business, so these costs have become a significant burden on the family budget.

We believe that, together, we will be able to raise the full amount, and Szymon will have a chance at a normal life! Thank you in advance!
