Please help the Symanski Family in this difficult time.

Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers,

I am starting this GoFundMe page for a very near and dear family who is close to my heart, The Symanski's. If anyone is lucky enough to know Paul and Lisa Symanski, then you already know what great people they are. Forever residents of Bayville, they have three kids whom your children are most likely attending or have attended school with, or you may just know the family through the community of Bayville.

Paul has been a member of the Bayville Fire Company for 38 years and an employee of our community for over 30 years. You may or may not know the off-and-on battle with cancer Paul has been fighting for the past years. He was first diagnosed in 1997 at age 34 with lymphoma and beat it! Unfortunately, it came back 20 years later in 2017 and transformed into Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. He won that battle once again! In 2023, it came back yet again, and he's been fighting ever since. There was lots of good news along the way; things were looking up, and we were hopeful of remission. Through many chemo sessions and a new T-cell transplant trial to fight his cancer in the most vigilant way possible, Paul did not give up his fight.

Recently, the family received the unimaginable news that Paul's cancer has spread, and nothing more can be done to rid this terrible nuisance that this family has been faced with for what seems never-ending. Paul has now been placed in hospice care and is spending his time with his loved ones and family. We can only hope and pray he is given more time than what doctors have given.

Please send your thoughts and prayers to the family during this most difficult time. I understand that times are tough for many, and any amount you can give will be deeply appreciated to help the family for any unexpected upcoming needs that may arise. Even if you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this page would mean the world.❤️❤️❤️
