In Loving Memory of Joanna Kowalska

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

We come to you today with a heavy heart and a plea for help. Our beloved Joanna has past away on Easter Sunday, March 31st, after a long health battle. Her journey has been filled with countless procedures, hospital stays and therapy. It's been a relentless fight but one that she was courageously fighting to be able to be home with her young family.

Asia was a cancer survivor, but her health was never the same after the latest transplant. Recently she was in and out of the hospital for the past 4 months. Her devoted husband has taken as much paid time off as possible, juggling between caring for their two children and being by her side during appointments and treatments. However, their resources have been stretched thin, with funeral expenses placing an additional burden on Grzegorz.

There is no way to prepare your children to lose their mother at age 4 & 6. . There is no way to prepare you to lose your wife at age 41.

Your contributions will directly assist in easing the financial burden placed on Grzegorz. Funds raised will go toward expenses for Asia’s funeral, and any additional funds will go to Grzegorz, Leo and Lucas.

If you believe in power of money, please consider donating to this fundraiser.

If you believe in power of prayer, please keep Grzegorz, Lucas, Leo and the rest of Asia’s family in your prayers.

If you believe in the power of voice, please consider sharing this fundraiser.

If you believe in power of energy, please send love and light to everyone Asia has touched.
