Help Cristina Beat Cancer: A Journey of Hope and Healing

Dear Family, Friends, and anyone reading this,

Our world was turned upside down two years ago when my wife, Cristina, was diagnosed with brain cancer. After extensive surgery, the doctors were able to remove most of the tumor, but due to its location, some was left behind to prevent further brain damage. We were hopeful that this would be the end of the battle, but last week, during her follow-up appointment, we received heartbreaking news: the tumor has grown back.

The surgeon gave us several options—surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. After much prayer, research, and reflection, we’ve decided to pursue a more natural and less invasive form of treatment with Dr. Stanislaw Burzinsky in Houston, Texas. Dr. Burzinsky and his team are internationally known for their innovative approach to cancer treatment, and we believe this is the best path forward for Cristina.

While we are incredibly hopeful, the cost of these treatments is significant, and unfortunately, the clinic does not accept insurance. However, the financial burden of this treatment is overwhelming. The monthly cost for these treatments is $17,000, and Dr. Burzinsky has recommended eight months of treatment. We’ve been able to complete three months so far, but as the financial strain has become a huge challenge, we’re reaching out to our family, friends, and anyone who feels moved to help. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will go directly toward Cristina’s treatment and the expenses associated with it.

Cristina’s life means the world to me, and I am committed to doing whatever it takes to make sure she’s here to see our children, Judah and Uriyah, grow up, to witness their weddings, and to hold our future grandchildren. We believe in the power of prayer and know that with God’s help, there is nothing too big for Him.

We humbly ask for your support—whether through a donation, sharing this page, or keeping us in your prayers. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us during this difficult time. Your kindness and generosity will help give Cristina the best chance for healing and for the future we’ve always dreamed of.

With love and gratitude,

Erik, Cristina, Judah, and Uriyah
