Support Dan’s Battle Against Rare Lymphoma

Hi, my name is Monica Sowinski, and I am raising funds for my stepdad, Dan, who is courageously battling a rare and aggressive form of cancer.

We’re hoping to send Dan to a specialized cancer clinic in Mexico (such as Hope4Cancer or Sanoviv), where he can receive the intensive, life-saving treatment he urgently needs. The estimated cost for a three-week cancer/lymphoma treatment package at one of these clinics is $50,000 USD, a sum far beyond what we can manage on our own.

On October 9, 2024, Dan was diagnosed with a CD30-positive lymphoproliferative disorder, a rare and aggressive cancer. This condition has caused painful tumors on his scalp and forehead, along with other signs of malignant spread, including affected lymph nodes, bone lesions, and chest wall involvement. Despite these challenges, Dan remains determined to fight.

Dan has already begun treatment at two cancer clinics, incurring significant costs:

These treatments have been vital in managing Dan’s symptoms, but more advanced care is urgently needed. Time is of the essence, as this specialized treatment could make a significant difference in Dan’s fight against cancer.

Your support means the world to us during this difficult time. Whether it’s through a donation—big or small—or by sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family, every act of kindness brings us one step closer to easing the burden on our family and allowing Dan to focus on his fight against cancer. If you're unable to donate, simply sharing this page with others who might be able to help would mean so much to us. Thank you for your generosity, love, and encouragement—it truly makes a difference.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us.
