My name is Ruth, and I am raising funds for my husband, Alex Krishchuk. We have been married since 2017, and our life together has been filled with love, laughter, and countless cherished moments. Alex is my partner, my best friend, and the person who makes every day brighter. Sharing our journey with friends, family, and our community has always meant the world to us.

In March 2024, Alex was diagnosed with GIST cancer. Since then, he has bravely faced every challenge, including a major surgery in March 2025 to remove the cancer. Despite his strength and the incredible support we received, Alex has experienced a relapse. We are now exploring new treatment options and have found an integrative clinic out of state that has had success in treating this condition. Unfortunately, the costs for treatment and lodging are not covered by insurance, and we are facing significant out-of-pocket expenses. The cost we were quoted is 10-12k a week for treatment which can last an average of 14 weeks.

The funds raised will go directly toward covering travel and lodging costs, as well as all expenses related to Alex's treatment at the clinic. Your support will help us access the care Alex needs and give us hope during this difficult time. We are deeply grateful for everyone who helped during his surgery in 2025, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any support you can provide now. Every donation, share, and kind word means so much to us.
