It’s with heavy hearts that we reach out to our community—our extended Radium Photo family—for support.
As many of you know, we are a small, family-owned business with just a handful of full-time employees.
This past year has brought unimaginable challenges. Within our small Radium family, we’ve faced profound loss, including the passing of our beloved leader and boss, Charlie Cihak Sr., as well as our dear friend and family member, Amanda Cihak. We have also faced serious diagnoses within our small team, including the stage 3c diagnosis Emily, our amazing staff member, received recently. Through it all, we’ve leaned on each other—and on the incredible support from our community, friends, and loved ones. Your kindness has meant more to us than we can fully express.
As we move into this spring season, our dear Emily continues her courageous fight against cancer. At the same time, we are grieving a devastating and unexpected loss: Amos’ beloved wife, Joanne.
Right now, our Radium family needs support more than ever.
We understand that life is busy and that many are carrying their own burdens. But if you are able, we humbly ask you to consider helping Emily and Amos during this incredibly difficult time.
If you feel moved to give, you can support Amos through his memorial GoFundMe to assist with burial costs. You can also stand with Emily by purchasing a shirt, with proceeds going directly toward her medical expenses and daily living costs as she continues her fight.
Every act of kindness—big or small—makes a difference.
Thank you for being part of our community, and for standing with us when we need it most.
