'This silver can save lives, instead of collecting dust in a closet,' Maria Andrejczyk said.
by ESPN, Andrejczyk explained how the “amazing parents” of another boy who needed surgery but died before he could have the operation will contribute the money they raised for their own son to Miłoszek.
“I also want to help,” Andrejczyk said, adding, “It’s for him that I am auctioning my Olympic silver medal.” According to a fundraising page for the infant, Miłoszek is currently at home and receiving hospice care as his condition deteriorates. After the infant’s family was unable to find a European hospital to operate on him, the page says, Stanford University Medical Center in California became their “last hope.”the surgery is expected to cost upwards of $385,000. A spokesperson at the hospital didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
In a twist, the winner of the silver medal auction, the Polish grocery store chain Żabka, refused to accept the medal.the medal “is a symbol of struggle, faith and pursuit of dreams despite many odds.”
