About This Campaign
I'm trying to raise funds for my dad, Andrè Kriek, who was diagnosed with rectal cancer in September 2023. He already had surgery to remove his large intestine in 2011, due to complications from ulcerative colitis, which he had for as long as I can remember with regular flair ups and frequent hospitalization through my entire childhood. They had to remove his intestine because of the risk of cancer and his small intestine was used to create a pouch to replace his large intestine.
This set-up worked well until 2022, where the pouch started getting regular infections. On his birthday in May 2023 we all went away as a family together and things started getting worse. He was in so much pain he could barely walk the entire time that we were there. From there on things only got worse to a point where he had it checked out and it turned out to be stage 3 rectal cancer. The cancer was blocking his intestines and so he had to get surgery (ileostomy) to receive an ostomy bag. They left his pouch in hope of one day being able to connect it again and for them to remove the bag.&nb...
