Damon Skrzypek needs our help.

After a recent two-week hospitalization, he was unexpectedly diagnosed with a rare type of blood cancer called multiple myeloma and has already started chemotherapy. To make an unfortunate and overwhelming situation even harder, he was without health insurance during his hospital stay.

He is a devoted single father and the sole provider for his incredible 11-year-old daughter. Doctors have informed us that Damon will not be able to work for at least one year and possibly longer. As a self-employed single dad, who bears the entire financial responsibility for himself and his daughter, he's going to need all the help he can get.

With medical expenses already incurred from hospitalization, the chemotherapy treatments, medications, appointments, and the comprehensive follow-up care still ahead, the financial burden is significant. Donating will help Damon with both medical and basic living expenses so he can continue to focus on what matters most, his daughter and recovery.

If you know Damon, you know it's not easy for him to ask for help and he has always been one to show up for others. As his family, we are stepping in and asking for help on his behalf. Any donation size is meaningful and even just sharing the fundraiser is greatly appreciated. Let's help Damon get through this rough chapter and back to his active and beautiful life with his daughter.

With deep gratitude and lots of love from the Skrzypek family
