Please help Kevin Petrinec

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Dan Petrinec. I'm trying to raise funds for my nephew Kevin Petrinec. Kevin is the son of my eldest brother Mike Petrinec. He is the father of 6. Three of his children are very young ranging in age from 5 years to 10 years old.

In 2021 Kevin was diagnosed with stage 4 non-hodgkin's lymphoma. At that time he was treated at Roswell Park Cancer Research Institute in Buffalo. He received over 20 rounds of chemotherapy treatments in his lymph nodes and then secondly in his spine to prevent it from spreading to his brain and was subsequently declared cancer free. Since that time, because his immunity was compromised and his liver was damaged from the chemo he has endured frequent bouts of illness such as Covid 3 times and Pneumonia 3 times this past summer he was in a coma for a month with MRSA in his lungs plus shingles. At that time the doctors called his family to come in for their final goodbyes as he was in complete organ failure and they didn't think he would pull through. Kevin did recover from all of this until this past December when he went for a CT scan. To everyone's disappointment, he was told that the cancer had returned. He is now undergoing a new set of chemotherapy treatments to be followed by a new groundbreaking t-cell therapy.

Due to all of his health problems over the past 2 years, Kevin has been unable to work. He has used up his savings and is waiting for Social Security Disability, they tell him that he won't get an answer for several months yet. In the meantime, he has bills piling up and is in need of funds to see him through. He is becoming very discouraged and I know his young children need their father.

If you feel compelled to help please do so as generously as you feel comfortable with. Additionally please share this on your social media platforms to help me spread the word. Thank You to all who can help and Prayers are gratefully accepted.
