Hi, my name is Tom Sitnik, and I am a father of two beautiful children, a 6-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son. My daughter, Monica, is currently battling for her life, due to a malignant brain tumor known as High Risk Medulloblastoma Group 3, which affects on average only 20 children in Canada a year. In August of 2015, Monica lost her appetite, started to vomit frequently and was also complaining of headaches. For the next two months Monica was examined by no less than 15 doctors, who continued to insist that she only had a stomach virus. Over the course of these two months, she was admitted to two different hospitals and suffered through numerous tests, scans and examinations, while she continued to lose weight. While none of these tests indicated that her body was facing any virus or infection, they continually diagnosed her symptoms as a stomach virus. In September of 2015, a head CT scan of her brain was performed, identifying a 2cm tumor, but for reasons unknown, Monica’s medical team misdiagnose her scan and reported normal.<br /><br /> After spending 6 days in the hospital Monica was discharged. Next month, Monica continued to suffer and loose weight, due to the tumor growing on her brain. At this point Monica symptoms got worse, she was as well complaining of blurry and double vision and loss of hearing. And once again my wife took Monica to the pediatrician, who said the symptoms were solely due to a lack of food and sleep, and that we need to just continue to feed her and come back for a check-up in a month. Thankfully my wife questioned the doctor about her blurry and double vision, which the doctor told us to just take her to the optometrist. It was at this point that our optometrist noticed that there was a lot of pressure build up between her brain and her eyes and she insisted we take her to SickKids hospital in Toronto and nowhere else, we cannot thank her enough. Having done another CT scan at SickKids, the results showed the presence of a tumor. When Monica’s medical team at SickKids analyzed the original CT scan, they determined that it had now doubled in size. <br /><br />          Receiving this diagnosis was a double edged sword—on one side of this, our suspicions proved true, and we finally received the information we were seeking, however this diagnosis was heartbreaking, knowing the battle Monica had ahead of her. As a parent, it has been so difficult watching her health continue to deteriorate, and listening to professionals pass off her serious condition as a virus. <br /><br />Fast-forward to today; Monica is currently recovering from major brain surgery, and 31 straight days of pure radiation and chemotherapy. She has been so strong, and continues to fight every day, but still facing several more months of draining treatment. I can’t express how lost I feel as a parent knowing I can’t protect her any more than holding her hand as my six year old faces this battle alone. She continues to amaze me every day, as she continues to fight and proves how courageous and strong she really is. <br /><br />          As I’m sure you can imagine, after 6 months of this nightmare, and several more to come, I am financially and emotionally drained. As a father and a husband, I feel defeated and disappointed in myself, struggling to come to terms knowing I have been unable to provide for my family. I do have hope that the future holds better days, even when facing the reality of Monica’s difficult year ahead. <br />           I want to share this story for a few different reasons, one of which being the important message behind it. There is a saying that, “a parent often knows best”, and I hope that Monica’s story reinforces this notion among all parents. Be persistent. If you don’t agree with the diagnosis, get a second, third, fourth opinion. You are your child’s first line of defense and as a parent, do not stand back and accept something you know to be untrue. I hope you can find it in your hearts to help my family during this very difficult time. I still struggle to understand why my little angel is one of only 20 children a year in Canada that this disease affects, but with your help, she will no longer just be a cancer statistic, but a survivor. I hope there is a lesson to be learned here for all, thank you so much for your support. <br /><br /> <br /><br />-Tom Sitnik, Vaughan, Ontario.

I'm raising money for my little brother Bryce and my parents who have helped him financially, and emtionally as best as they could along the way of his incredible journey. September 14th, 2014 his life changed forever. He was profiled and targeted by a police officer which eventually lead to his death. He was pronounced dead for 6 minutes. Lucky EMS brought him back to life but not before he lost many cognitive functions. Memory, problem solving, anxiety, stress, mathematics, literacy, are intangible things that were stripped away from him on that day. This goes without the physical damage to his broken jaw, replaced teeth, and other damage to his body. My goal is to raise $5,000 to help my parents who have had to work long over-time hours so they could afford to pay for the repercussions of that day, more importantly so Bryce feels a weight has been lifted off of his shoulders, since he has been unable to work until recently. We appreciate all the Love, thoughts and prayers we have received!

<div>My Uncle, Armindo, has recently been diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer. After fighting for his life in the hospital, losing large quantities of blood, for which blood transfusions were needed, he has stabilized and began Chemotherapy. He and his wife, Sandra, are struggling to afford the extra cost of medication not covered by OHIP and have no health insurance. He has secondary diabetes and other health issues that require medication before and after each treatment, along with other medications not covered. After just two chemo treatments, he and his wife are burdened by not being able to go forward with chemotherapy due to the extra costs that they cannot afford. The extra medication cost per chemo treatment day can be in excess of $300 or more. These costs include medication to help with nausea, pain, and control his diabetes before he can start chemotherapy.

<div>My uncle has recently become a grandfather, a beautiful experience which is keeping him positive and he wishes to be around to watch his grandson grow. This cheerful news came after his diagnosis. His grandson was born whilst he was in the hospital fighting for his life. I believe the joy of becoming a grandfather helped him pull through. Tough times have hit my uncle and aunt, however, as right before becoming ill and learning he had cancer, his apartment caught fire due to electrical wiring issues, and my uncle and aunt lost their home and most of their possessions.
