Hi everyone,

My name is Max, and this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write. In January 2025, my world changed completely when I was diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach and esophagus cancer (adenocarcinoma) that has spread to my peritoneum. It’s a rare and aggressive form of cancer, and since then, my life has become a daily fight — physically, emotionally, and financially.

I’ve always been the kind of person who worked hard and tried to take care of things on my own. Asking for help is not easy for me. But right now, I’m facing something bigger than I can handle alone. I’m a father of three wonderful children and a husband to my beautiful wife, and they are my biggest motivation to keep fighting every single day.

I’m undergoing chemotherapy and other necessary treatments that leave me extremely weak and exhausted. There are days I can barely move or get out of bed, and others when I sleep most of the day just to recover enough strength for the next round. Because of my condition, I’ve been unable to work, and over time, my finances have been completely drained. I never imagined I would need to ask for help like this — but I’ve learned that even the strongest fighters sometimes need a hand.

The funds raised here will help me cover medical bills, treatment costs, and basic living expenses for me and my family until I’m able to recover and return to work. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a huge difference — it helps me focus on healing instead of worrying about how to pay the next bill.

If you can’t donate, simply sharing this page helps more than you know. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, prayers, and support.

— Max
