My name is Monika, resident of SP and I'm reaching out to our community with hopes & prayers to come together to support our beloved 53 year old neighbor, Yuriy Yaropud, who is facing an unimaginable battle.

He has been diagnosed with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, an aggressive form of cancer that has metastasized to his brain. This diagnosis has turned his life-and the life of his family-upside down almost overnight.

Yuriy has always been a kind, quiet presence in our neighborhood—hard-working, generous, and deeply devoted to his family. Now, he is fighting for time, dignity, and the chance to continue treatment while managing overwhelming medical costs.

This aggressive cancer moves fast. Treatment has already begun, but the medical bills, medications, and daily expenses are overwhelming—and he is unable to work. His family is facing fear, exhaustion, and impossible choices no one should have to make.

Please help now. Any donation-no matter the amount can bring relief, hope, and precious time together.

Thank you for standing with our neighbor during the fight of his life and thank you for standing with this family in their darkest moment.
