Our dear friend and coworker Christo has recently been diagnosed with Blastoid Mantle Cell Lymphoma, a rare and extremely aggressive form of blood cancer that spreads rapidly through the lymphatic system and bone marrow.
This devastating diagnosis has caused Christo’s platelet levels to fall to life-threatening levels, placing him at severe risk of bleeding and infection. As a result, he now requires platelet transfusions twice a week just to stay safe while doctors work urgently to determine the best treatment plan.
Christo is currently unable to work, and the constant hospital visits, ongoing tests, specialist appointments, and supportive care have created enormous financial pressure for him and his family.
But Christo is not just a coworker, he is a talented artist, singer, and guitarist. Music and art have always been a huge part of who he is. His creativity, his voice, and the light he brings to the people around him remind us daily of his spirit and strength. Now, it’s our turn to give back and help him through this fight.
Why we are raising funds
- Your support will help Christo and his family with:
- Costs associated with ongoing cancer treatment
- Twice-weekly hospital visits for platelet transfusions
- Medication, scans, and specialist appointments
- Travel and accommodation when needed
- Loss of income during treatment
- Household and family expenses
- Any unexpected medical or emergency needs
Every donation, big or small, will help ease the pressure and allow Christo to focus fully on healing and fighting this disease.
