Help Marcus with Medical Costs for Leukemia

My name is Robbie McManus and I, along with the Ladner and Kaszubowski families, have set up this fundraiser for my cousin, Marcus Kaszubowski (32 years old) for medical and other expenses, such as temporary housing and living expenses for his family, while out of work for a very serious type of cancer, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Unexpectedly, without previous symptoms, Marcus experienced chest pain and went to the ER to be treated the week of September 13th, 2021. Over the last several days at the hospital, they found his white blood cell count, which is what fights off infection in the body, as low as 0.25 (should be 10+), low platelets and other terrible symptoms.
Unfortunately, after biopsies of his lymph nodes and bone marrow, we learned he has an advanced and very aggressive stage of cancer called Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, also known as ALL. Many of you may have heard of ALL because it is a form of cancer that is more common in children and is treated at St. Jude and other cancer facilities. As you can imagine, because this was completely unexpected, Marcus is extremely upset and Brittany, who is roughly halfway through her high risk pregnancy with their second son, Kade, is terrified about him being born without their daddy around and her ability to take care of Marcus, the kids and everything else while Marcus is in chemotherapy treatment. We are going to do everything in our power to help take some of this stress off of both of them, so they can focus on Marcus' treatment, their family and Marcus' recovery -- we are asking for your help to do this!

Kaszubowski Family
Marcus' wife is Brittany Kaszubowski. They live in Long Beach, MS and have a very handsome and energetic son, Koen (2 years old), and soon to be born son, Kade. Marcus' parents names are Sabine and Eckhard Kazubowski. By marriage to Brittany, Marcus is related to the late Ernest Lee Ladner (Grandfather), Sandra Ladner (Grandmother), Angela Lucas (Mother-in-Law) and Thomas Lucas (Step Father-in-Law). Marcus works for Budweiser and Brittany is an interior designer on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Medical Treatment and Asks of Friends and Family!
Marcus will have a bone marrow transplant, extremely intense chemotherapy treatment for 4 weeks at the University of Mississippi in Jackson and 2 years or more of continued treatment to get rid of the Leukemia. We are asking if you feel it in your heart to give, please do! Marcus has a very long road ahead and Brittany will have Koen and their new son to care for. It's going to be hard for both of them and we want to help take some of the financial burden, which will likely be exorbitant, off of them during this very stressful and painful time.
No amount is too small! Please give as you can to help this great family!
God Bless You All!
