Danuta Stenka husband receives medical funding after rapid public response
Polish actress Danuta Stenka and her family have successfully raised approximately two million PLN for the medical treatment of her husband, Janusz Grzelak. The funds were collected within 48 hours following an emotional appeal after Grzelak was diagnosed with highly aggressive plasma cell myeloma.
The rapid response from the public, including industry colleagues and strangers, has provided the family with the means to access non-reimbursable therapy that offers a chance at survival. Stenka expressed profound gratitude, describing the speed of the donations as a miracle.
In response to online criticism suggesting that public figures should fund their own medical costs, actress Ada Fijał defended the family. Fijał noted that outsiders cannot know the full circumstances of a family's situation and stated that she also personally contributed to the collection.
