Help Justyn Rebuild His Life After Losing His Leg

On 12th March 2025, Justyn's life changed forever. After more than three years of relentless pain, countless hospital stays, and seven surgeries, Justyn had to face the unimaginable: the amputation of his left leg.

For 1,128 days, Justyn fought through intense pain, infections, and medical setbacks. He spent 277 days in hospital, holding onto the hope that things would get better — that he’d be able to regain his strength and live a normal life again. But after trying every possible treatment, amputation became the only path forward — the only way to finally end the pain and start rebuilding his life.

Justyn is determined to make this the start of a new chapter. He dreams of being able to fully participate in his son Gabriel’s life — running around, playing hide and seek, and riding bikes together. He wants to feel freedom and peace again, without the constant stress of medication, hospital visits, and financial strain.

But right now, Justyn is struggling more than ever. The amputation means he’ll need to adjust to life in a wheelchair — and without the ability to work for over three years, the financial pressure has become unbearable. He’s facing:
✅ $2,360 in overdue rent
✅ $750 phone bill
✅ $2,180 power bill
✅ $8,450 loan repayment
He even had to sell his car just to cover the basics — but it’s still not enough.

Justyn isn’t the type to ask for help, but right now he needs it more than ever. His medical expenses, recovery costs, and the adjustments required to adapt to life in a wheelchair are overwhelming. He’s at a breaking point — emotionally, physically, and financially.

This GoFundMe is about giving Justyn the support he desperately needs to rebuild his life. Every donation, no matter how small, will help him cover essential bills and the medical costs that come with adjusting to life post-amputation. More than that, it will give him the chance to focus on healing and finding joy with his son again.

Please consider donating and sharing Justyn's story — your support means the world. Let’s show Justyn that he’s not alone. ❤️

It would mean a lot to me if you’d be able to share or donate to it.
