Dear friends, family, and kind strangers,

My name is Alan, and I’m reaching out to ask for your support for someone who means the world to our family — my stepdad, Konrad. He’s a loving husband to my mom, a devoted father to my 10-year-old twin sisters, and a constant source of strength and kindness in all our lives.

Just a few weeks ago, Konrad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. The disease has spread to his kidneys, liver, lungs, and brain. What started as a simple cough, extreme fatigue, and unexplained weight loss turned into news that changed our lives overnight. Since then, our family has been doing everything we can to stay hopeful, to fight alongside him, and to make the most of every moment we have.

Konrad loves spending time with his family more than anything. Whether it’s a quiet evening at home, cheering on his kids at their activities, or just sitting around laughing with us, he cherishes every moment. He has always been a positive, uplifting presence in the lives of those around him, even now — facing the toughest battle of his life, his spirit remains strong and his outlook filled with hope.

Konrad has begun immunotherapy and radiation treatments, and while we are grateful for the care he is receiving, the emotional and financial toll is overwhelming. Medical expenses are mounting quickly.

I'm starting this GoFundMe to help relieve some of the financial stress so Konrad can focus entirely on his treatment and spending meaningful time with his family. Your donations will go directly toward medical bills and treatment costs.

No donation is too small. Every bit helps — and if you’re unable to give financially, I ask for your prayers, positive thoughts, and sharing this page with your network.

Konrad is a fighter, and with your support, we believe in giving him every possible chance to fight this disease and hold on to the moments that matter most. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

With love and gratitude,

Alan
