Help my Dad to fight cancer

With a heavy heart, I reach out to ask for help for someone who means the world to me-my father.

I never imagined I would find myself in this position, but today, I am humbly asking for your support.

My dad has always been a pillar of strength-active, health-conscious, and selfless. A loving father, devoted husband, and the best and only grandpa my daughters know, he's spent his life putting others first. Now, he's facing his toughest battle.

In 2020, after receiving the Covid vaccine, my dad suffered a heart attack. This year, just before turning 69, he was diagnosed with mandibular carcinoma that has spread to his bone. The day after his birthday, he began chemotherapy treatment at the Oncologic Institute in Moldova, but his heart condition makes it incredibly risky. Desperate for better care, he and my brother traveled to Israel for advanced tests and consultations. There, we found hope: a life-saving surgery and laser treatment that could give him a fighting chance.

The surgery alone costs €19,841, with additional laser treatments and travel expenses piling up fast.

For the past few years, every day has become a struggle for me. As a mother raising my two daughters alone in the U.S. without any support, I try to put a smile on my face and keep moving forward, but it’s hard. I’m trying to be strong for my children and my dad, but sometimes I feel like I’m about to break. I can't be there to support my dad in person, and I can’t provide financially in the way that’s so desperately needed right now. This is where I am asking for help.

Every donation- big or small- will go directly to my dad’s surgery and treatments. Your support will give him the chance to fight this cancer with the best possible care and allow our family to get through this challenging time with some peace of mind.

Donations can be made through GoFundMe or via Zelle to: [email redacted]

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support, love, prayers, and kindness.

With deep gratitude,

Natalia
