Tomasz is the kind of person who has always put others first, whether it was his family, his friends, or even animals in need. He is the devoted father of my children and
a man with an incredibly big heart. Even after our divorce, Tomasz remained fully committed to our children, spending weekends with them, driving them to their activities, and making them feel loved and supported in every way. He even treated my daughter from a previous relationship as his own, and to this day, she proudly calls him “dad.”
For years, Tomasz worked tirelessly as a self-employed builder, dedicating his skills to provide for his family. He didn’t just stop there—he volunteered his time to build shelters for rescue animals and fostered them until they found loving homes. Now, he has a parrot who adores him, and they have been his only companion as he lives alone. However, due to his illness, Tomasz will have to part with his beloved parrot temporarily during his treatment, as it’s no longer safe for him to keep her at home.
Recently, Tomasz’s life took a devastating turn. For months, he struggled with fatigue and weakness, thinking it was something temporary. He kept believing that he would get better soon and return to work to pay off the debt he had accumulated during this time. But on November 28th, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, stage 2. He was told that the treatment would last at least six months and that it would be too demanding for him to continue working.
This news hit Tomasz hard—not just because of the diagnosis, but because of the financial struggles that come with it. Without any income, he is deeply worried about how he will pay for basic necessities like food, bills, and transportation. Most heartbreaking of all is knowing that this year, it is his turn to have the children for Christmas, and he fears he won’t have the strength or resources to make it special for them. Every year, Tomasz has made the holidays magical with his love, warmth, and small surprises under the tree. Despite his illness, he is determined to spend Christmas with his children, even if it means pushing through the exhaustion and challenges he faces daily.
Despite his declining health, Tomasz still makes every effort to be there for his children. Even when he feels too weak to stay awake during the day, he continues to pick them up on weekends to spend time with them. However, it’s clear that this illness has taken its toll on him—he has lost weight, feels constantly fatigued, and struggles with the simplest tasks.
Tomasz is a humble man who would never ask for help himself, which is why I am reaching out on his behalf. My current partner and I both care deeply for Tomasz and consider him part of our family—our “family unit.” He has always been there for others, and now it’s our turn to be there for him.
The funds raised will help Tomasz:
• Cover daily living expenses like food, bills, and transportation.
• Pay off the debt that accumulated while he was too ill to work.
• Provide his children with a sense of normalcy and joy, especially during the holiday season.
• Adjust to the sacrifices he has had to make, like temporarily parting with his beloved parrot.
Your kindness and support will allow Tomasz to focus on his health and give him the strength to face this battle with hope. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference. Let’s show Tomasz that he’s not alone in this fight.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your generosity.
