From Skilled Tradesman to Disabled Father — Help Us Rebuild

Help Piotr Recover From a Life-Changing Work Injury | Disability & Medical Fundraiser

Hi, my name is Piotr, and I am raising funds to recover from a life-changing work injury that left me disabled and unable to work. Four years ago, I suffered a serious on-the-job accident that caused permanent damage. Since then, I’ve been living with chronic pain, nerve damage, muscle spasms, and mobility limitations that affect every part of my daily life. I'm not even going to get into the absolute lack of financial support, medical care, and convoluted nature of Workers Compensation disability insurance. Seriously dont get me started...the lawyers, the denials. I've had enough.

I am also a father to a 5-year-old child who depends on me. My greatest struggle is not only losing my independence, but also fighting to be the parent my child deserves while managing constant pain and disability.

From Skilled Tradesman to Disabled Worker

Before my accident, I worked for years as a skilled metal and wood worker, taking pride in building, repairing, and creating with my hands. My trade was my livelihood and identity. I also spent years teaching and tutoring others in music and math, helping students gain skills, confidence, and creativity.

Now, because of my workplace injury, I cannot return to my trade, and even my lifelong passion for music performance and teaching has become extremely limited due to pain and physical strain.

My Daily Struggle Living With Chronic Pain

Every day is a battle. I wake up shaking from severe nerve pain and muscle spasms that sometimes bring me to tears. Even after rest, my body seizes up, leaving me exhausted and unable to manage even basic daily tasks like cleaning, laundry, or lawn care.

The loss of independence has been devastating. What most people consider “simple chores” are impossible for me without help.

Why I Am Asking for Help

I am raising funds to support:

Medical expenses & ongoing treatment for my injury-related pain and nerve damage.

Daily living assistance (cleaning, laundry, yard work, safe transportation)

Accessible home modifications to make my space safer and more manageable

Support for my 5-year-old child, ensuring they are cared for as I recover

Mental health resources for coping with the emotional toll of disability

Educational support so I can return to school and retrain as a therapist, continuing my lifelong passion for helping others heal

Looking Toward the Future

While I can’t return to the heavy physical labor of skilled trades, I refuse to give up. My goal is to go back to school, become a therapist, and turn my experience with disability and chronic pain into a way to help others.

With your support, I can cover the basic needs of daily living, focus on recovery, and start building a new future for myself and my child.
