find a way through<\/a> their darkest hours.<\/p>\nWe have seen it here on Good Things Guy more times than we can count. And we believe, with everything we have, that we are about to see it again. This time, it’s for Jacques.<\/p>\n
Jacques is the husband of Bianca, dad to their daughter Charn\u00e8. When his diagnosis of high-grade bladder cancer and kidney cancer came, it turned their small family\u2019s life upside down.<\/p>\n
And then, the road become even steeper. His initial bladder surgery was followed by a serious complication of Klebsiella septicaemia, a bloodstream infection that hit his already-weakened body.<\/p>\n
Time is working against the family.<\/p>\n
Jacques needs robotic surgery to remove the kidney cancer, a specialised procedure that gives him the best chance of saving the kidney and stopping the disease from spreading. That surgery is scheduled for 8 April 2026, just a week from now. It\u2019s the only window he has.<\/p>\n
Once Jacques begins his bladder cancer treatment on 4 May 2026, his immune system will take a severe hit, making further surgery too dangerous. That treatment will run for six weeks, then repeat every three months for years to come. The kidney surgery has to happen first. Before the treatment starts and before the window closes.<\/p>\n
That’s how little time they have.<\/p>\n
The toll this has taken is immense. With Jacques unable to work, the financial pressure on the family has grown to a point that’s becoming impossible to manage alone. Their medical aid doesn’t cover the full cost of the robotic surgery, and with specialist visits, hospital stays, medication, and ongoing care, the numbers quickly become overwhelming.<\/p>\n
Hope is the most tangible thing they have right now.<\/p>\n
Bianca has made a humbling, and heartbreaking, cry for a help.<\/p>\n
