Fundraising initiative for critically ill family member in dire need of financial assistance

Tobi, a 33-year-old man from an unnamed location, is currently battling lung cancer. Diagnosed on August 25, 2025, Tobi is described as strong in heart and spirit, and known for his jovial nature and light-hearted remarks.

Tobi's wife, the love of his one, is carrying more than a typical young mother and wife should have to bear. The tumor found in Tobi's lung is eight centimeters, making the fight against the disease a challenging one.

Despite the daunting circumstances, Tobi is not alone. He is a proud father of a young son who is starting kindergarten. The family is facing fears such as losing their home, their son only knowing Tobi from stories, and unfulfilled dreams.

A fundraising campaign named 'because Tobi's only task now is to fight and live' has been initiated by Tobi's friends. The funds raised will cover the family's ongoing expenses, illness-related expenses, and create a financial cushion.

Karl Diederichs GmbH & Co. KG from Remscheid has donated 1,000 euros to the campaign, but no other specific large donors are mentioned in the available information. Sven Lehmann is managing the funds and is ensuring they are passed directly to Tobi and his wife Vanessa.

The funds will also provide hope for Tobi's young son to see his father stand by his side, not just fighting, but also dreaming. It will also provide hope for Tobi's family, including the chance that Tobi will one day laugh again and celebrate a wedding with his wife.

In Germany, after six weeks of paid sick leave, one only receives sick pay from the health insurance, about 66 percent of income. This sick pay is paid for a maximum of 78 weeks, after which the entitlement ends completely.

Despite the illness making Tobi weaker, his family and friends remain hopeful. A celebration is planned for when Tobi's health allows it, a time when they can all come together to support and cheer for Tobi.

Through this difficult journey, Tobi's family is finding solace in the love and support of their community. The funds raised will not only help them navigate the financial challenges but also provide hope for a brighter future.
