Scott Ploski Wish
This past week, Wicked Awesome Wishes and Lady Jane’s had the privilege of meeting Scott Ploski and his family. Recently diagnosed with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma, a severe form of head and neck cancer, Scott faces a challenging road ahead.
His treatment plan is intensive, requiring radiation therapy five days a week and chemotherapy once a week.
Unfortunately, the toll of these treatments has made it difficult for him to maintain his strength, often preventing him from attending his appointments. The cancer has also caused painful sores in his mouth, leading to a loss of appetite and difficulty eating and drinking.
As the sole provider for his family, Scott's diagnosis has left them without income, adding to the stress of daily expenses and medical bills. Despite having had cancer insurance in the past, a lapse in coverage occurred when he changed jobs. Tragically, his diagnosis came just 15 days before he would have qualified for help from the new insurance.
Scott's story has deeply resonated with our Wicked Awesome Wishes family. In partnership with Lady Jane’s Haircut For Men, we are committed to providing financial support to alleviate some of the burdens facing Scott and his loved ones during this incredibly challenging time. Together, we aim to help them find some relief and hope in the midst of their struggle.
