Help Support Gustav's Fight Against Kidney Cancer

Hello everyone! Today, I want to tell you about my good friend Gustav. He and his wife Silvia have an eighteen year old daughter Jute, an eleven year old daughter Dorothy, two sweet pups named Keona and Healani and three kitties named Zaphy, MeiMei and Teto.

Last year in February Gustav has been diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma, the most common type of kidney cancer, in both his kidneys. Unfortunately because of the size of the tumor in the right kidney, it required immediate full/radical nephrectomy, removal of the full kidney on February 27th, 2023. In the following months, the size and the location of the tumor forced doctors to perform a full nephrectomy on the left side removing it on October 26th, 2023. Now Gustav lives without kidneys and he requires dialysis for hours every other day. Gustav needs a kidney transplant, and we are doing everything to try to find him a living donor. If you would consider becoming a living donor or reading more about his story, please visit his website:

All funds donated will be going directly to the family for uncovered medical bills, expenses for the search for a living donor, travel and lodging expenses for transplant hospitals, and anything they need help with through this difficult time.

Thank you to each and every one of you that have donated and reached out.
