Meet Julia! 

Julia is a newly turned four-year old little girl, currently undergoing extensive chemotherapy treatments at Maria Fareri Children's Hospital. In March of 2022, Sgt. Sajduk and his wife, Joanna, received news that no parent ever wishes to hear.  Their daughter, Julia, was diagnosed with high risk B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia. In just a few short months, Julia has undergone numerous bone biopsy's, lumbar punctures, 70+ chemo treatments, and numerous blood transfusions. Julia has a hard and long road to recovery to be cancer free.

Sgt. Mateusz Sajduk is a New York City Sergeant assigned to the 43 Precinct Detective Squad. He has served and protected NYC for more than 15 years. His wife, Joanna, is also a public servant in the medical industry.

Sgt. Sajduk and his family are actively involved in their community and have spent countless hours helping and supporting those in need over the years.   It's our turn to come together to help and support them! We are kindly asking that you help Sgt. Sajduk and his family with the unexpected financial burdens while they fight alongside Julia in her battle with cancer. Any donation, big or small, would be greatly appreciated as they focus on her health and treatment. If you are unable to financially contribute, please simply share this page to spread the word to help Julia!

Thank you for your support!

We wanted to thank each and every one of you for all the love, support and prayers!! This means the world to us and we can’t even begin to express how thankful we are! We are feeling so much love and gratitude from you all and we are so blessed to be part of such a wonderful community. 


Update:


Julia recently past her one year anniversary of being diagnosed with Leukemia in March. This journey for Julia has been extremely difficult to say the least but she is doing great. She’s been fighting very hard since day one and reached remission 100 days into treatment. She has overcame numerous bumps in the road during this whole process.


Julia was admitted countless times to the hospital and emergency room for excruciating bone and body pain. She received hundreds of chemo medication, infusions, lumbar punctures. She did this like the champ that she is.


FINALLY Julia has reached the longest and final phase of treatment which is maintenance… for the next year and a half her chemo medication will maintain remission and help prevent relapse. If everything goes well and the cancer does not come back, Julia will be done with treatment and ring the bell in Summer 2024.

 

Sometimes, real SUPERHEROES live in the hearts of small children fighting big battles. 


Fight like a kid!
