Good morning Reptile Army! This was a hard video for me to make. I hate asking for money for anyone, but I really want this Legacy Aquarium to become a reality and I don't see any other way to make it happen. It's a lot of money to raise, but I think it's possible to raise it with the Reptile Army and the other avenues I speak about in this video. If you can donate, only if you can, and share it would be so appreciated. Together we can make something that for decades will educate and entertain. My legacy, my dream and my passion. Here is the link www.gofundme.com/f/brian-barczyks-legacy-aquarium Thank you all for being there for me. I hope this doesn't upset anyone. I truly struggled with this because I was worried about what people might think? Love you guys so much! Brian

Brian, I lost my brother last year to cancer. He was 45 and had so much to live for. He fought until the very end, and he focused all of his time on his family, friends and life passions. What you are doing and have done throughout your life is inspirational. I have a lot of love for you, and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Reading through your donations has me in tears! You are so loved and so many people have been touched by you. I hope you know you truly have an army behind you! Mindset is half the battle. We love you!

I have been watching you since the days of SnakeBytes and not since Steve Irwin passed have I seen anyone as passionate about reptiles, and getting others to be passionate about reptiles. You're one of my biggest inspirations for wanting to help animals, it feels only fitting that I give back for all the years of passion and inspiration you've given me, and so many others. You've got this, Brian ^.^

If you live to be 100, you’d barely tap the surface of all the love you’ve put out into the world in your life. #ReptileArmy #BrianStrong forever. My son and I are traveling up there to visit the Reptarium this summer, wearing the merch, but we will absolutely donate. [Update: Done. Sharing.] For you, your people and the animals. All the love to you in your fight, brother.

Thank you, as I said in my comment in your previous videos. We know you're proud, we know you don't ask for much but a gofundme was the right way to go. We want you to see your dreams come true and we want your family well taken care of. I know my comment probably wasn't the initiator of the gofundme and you probably didn't even see it but you adding it irregardless makes me SO happy you did.

I went through a dark time when I lost my father, my anxiety and depression was terrible, I didn’t get out of bed and I felt lost. Brian posted a video about his anxiety and how he struggles. I cried, made a doctors appointment and got help. That was almost three years ago… the lives you’ve changed and hearts you’ve touched… you’re not done with your journey here. Keep fighting, keep believing and keep working toward your dreams! I donated what I could spare tonight, and I believe many more people will as well. You got this! ❤

Reching out and asking for help would never make me think bad of you or rip on you for asking for money. Times are tough and you are showing so much strength by asking for help. Stay amazing Brian, you''ve got this!

this shows the amazing character and kindness of Brian. with everything that is happening and all the expensive medical treatments, he is not asking anything for himself. but he is asking everyone to help fulfil his dream/legacy for his family and friends. ill definitely be donating and look forward to seeing the video of Brian and his friends and family at the grand opening of the aquarium. maybe even visit some day. idk about the reptarium though due to my fear of snakes but watching you over the years has definitely eased my fears so you never know. it has been very therapeutic. i haven't been religious in a long time but will also be praying for you and your family.

Brian over the years we’ve seen how much you care for these animals how much you care about these animals how much you care about your family and your crew who’s every bit family you have no worries about having to ask for help it would only be everyone’s pleasure to be able to help you. God bless.

You are 1000% doing the right thing, for someone who has given so much to the world I think you are right to ask for help. I've always been impressed with how you carry yourself but right now I'm blown away by your grace, your strength and your determination. What an incredible human you are. It would be my honor to donate what I can. Keep your head held high Mr Brian keep strong and I cannot wait to see you on opening day of the legacy aquarium 💚

Damn it Brian, I haven't cried since yesterday morning lol. I'm currently recovering from a small stroke at 37 you'd never think to go through this. But you as I've said hundreds of times, are one of the very first KZreadrs that got me into reptiles. Kuskos Sunset story I feel shows the kind of person you are. I appreciate what you've taught and showed me as well as countless others.

Oh Brian ❤, there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for help when you need it. You do and have done so much for so many. No one can ever call you selfish. The Reptile Army has your back.

One should never be ashamed to ask for help! I would love to see your dream /legacy come true! These are tough times to begin with not to mention the cards you were dealt. It is not wrong to want the best for your family! I wish you the best! Stay strong! We support you and your family all the way!

Donated...I hope one day to visit the Legacy Aquarium!!! You're amazing Brian - keep fighting!!! There's absolutely nothing wrong with asking for donations. You have given so much to us, now our opportunity to give back to you!!!

Brian, you have gotten me and my family through extremely hard times as I'm sure you have for so many others in this community. It's our turn to pay it back to you!

My family as well. Definitely going to pay it forward.

It takes a big person to ask for help. You have helped so many of us and touched so many of our lives. Hopefully we can get the financial help you need. Brian I personally look at you no differently than before you asked for money. You are still amazing. Thank you for being there for me when I have needed you.

Milionair and big man, needs more... lets give it to him

I've always watched your videos on and off but I have been following your journey more closely since you shared your diagnosis. My grandfather fought pancreatic cancer and unfortunately he lost his battle 7 years ago. 10 years ago a very close family friend also passed from pancreatic cancer. With my donation I hope to not only try to make your dream and legacy live forever but I'm also donating in memory of my loved ones who shared their battle with you ❤

This community will take care of you and your family. Don’t even sweat it. Much love from CA ♥️

I just want to give Jay a shout out. Thanks for helping our friend Brian, brother. I always remember how Brian described you as his “support animal” when his mom visited the Repatarium and I found it both extremely funny and touching. Prayers to both of you as you lead us on this journey of love.

Love Jay and he is a natural behind the camera and excellent at educating on the animals and he will only get better in time.

Brian the whole community is behind you. My family and I are making our third trip to the reptarium in June or July. We can't wait to come. You are a huge influence in mine and my family's life. We are praying for the miracle to come and complete healing in your life.

Hey Brian. Thank you for all the things you are doing for reptiles. I have been following you since 2019. Praying for total healing for you. Wish I could afford to give and also come to the reptairium. KEEP UP THE FIGHT.

I wish I had so much extra funds to donate to you. I can't donate but I promise I'll support and share every step of the way. You inspire me and make me so happy and I can't picture a world without you Brian. You really are a Legacy. Never stop believing...look at what you've accomplished. We all love you so much.

Brian you've gave so much to us please please don't feel bad about asking for help. Having the aquarium will help with your recovery and to keep you positive during those days you'll need it. Plus this has been your big step in the Repterium for the animals, your family, crew, friends and all of us to teaching generations to come. What a LEGACY! Stay STRONG, Brian STRONG! Sending my love and prayers! ❤🙏🏼❤

Brian… you have changed so many lives. You are family, we are a part of the reptile army. You’ve brought absolute JOY to so many people. It’s now time for us to come together and give back. You are family and you are loved more than you realize. The Reptile Army’s gif you!!!!!🦎🐍❤

I have had so many family members pass from Cancer in my life. My mother a few years back had breast cancer and I thank God that she was a fighter and was able to beat it. I'm so sorry your family and you are going through this right now, but I hope you know you are not alone! We are all thinking of you and your family, and I wish you nothing but the best. You have inspired so many people to continue their hobby and even start a new hobby. We love you Brian.

Brian, when we said "anything you and your family need" we ment it. We want to help you and are honored that you are allowing us to help! THANK YOU for letting us in and letting us help! One of the bravest things we can ever do is let others in and ask for help, and we are so proud of you for asking ❤❤❤

Brian, I am SO GLAD you are doing this. I live a few miles from the Reptarium and was devastated to hear your new project might be put on hold. My family has been able to experience so many wonderful things thanks to you and your passion and I can’t imagine your new Legacy will be any different. I am so looking forward to seeing your dream. Sending big hugs to you and Lori. Please let her know she has an army of support behind her. Thank you!! 💜

Do not feel bad for asking for help! It is not greedy to want to see your legacy happen. I'm so happy that there is this huge following to help. I can't wait to see your aquarium open! ❤

I saw the auction recording before this vlog came out, and I was tearing up. Had goosebumps when everyone started cheering ❤ Brian will always be remembered, whether he passes in 2 years or 20+ years. You're such an amazing man. You're a great dad, husband, grandad, friend, boss, and vlogger. We all love you so much

Brian, I've never commented before, but several years ago I lost my uncle to pancreatic cancer. You've become a part of my daily routine and I've been so sad at this news. I just had a baby last fall and have been planning in a few years to be able to make a trip with her to the reptarium and hopefully aquarium by then. It's one of the few things I definitely want to do. You've really been an inspiration and such a comforting presence. There was even a time I debated lobbying for a job at the reptarium and moving my family because it seemed like such a great team to be apart of. ❤ Wishing you the very best, always.

Even in a tough time you are still fighting to reach your goals for you family and community! We love & Support you Brian!! #BrianStrong

Sending our love and support, Brian. No matter what your legacy lives on in each life you've touched. Your dreams are definitely worth fighting for!

I found your videos a year ago. You have shown me so much! Love you Brian. Your legacy lives on!

Morning Reptile Army! I really hope that this goal and legacy can become reality, Let's do what we can to share this video and get this out there and help Brian. It's the least we can do after everything he does for so many. Brian, don't think that by asking for help that you are ever overstepping. You've done so much for so many people, and we love you so much.

Brian we’re all here for you, we will never think badly about you. We’ll get you to that number 🙏🏼🙌🏼. Your legacy will be born

I wish I had the $ to donate but wanted to come here and say I am so sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis. I hope that you’re able to open the aquarium in the time frame you want, even if it’s scaled down a bit. There’s nothing wrong with doing something in stages. You have obviously gotten this far and have done an amazing job. I have faith that things will come together. 💕

Brian I just donated to your project. But it was so little and I wish I could do more. I just wanted to say I understand your situation when it comes to your diagnosis. My mom was diagnosed with this very cancer. I have seen from the outside what it does. I pray with all my heart and soul that you beat this. You are always positive even though you may not feel that way always. You are a rare kind of person indeed and your family and friends are so so lucky to have you. You Brian are the reason why I fell in love with ball pythons. I always had a thing for reptiles but it was always general. You are the reason I own 5 beautiful ball pythons and hope to breed in the future and maybe start my own small business out of it. You are a force to be reckoned with Brian. Fight with all you have. ❤️ #BeautifulSoul

You are the DEFINITION of a high value man. I love how strong you are given the circumstances. Don’t stop fighting. Legacy will be monumental 🙌🏽 love you Brian

You have been so instrumental in the industry. You are loved and respected by many and they wish you well. The support is genuine.

Brian I just started watching your channel and I’m the short time I’ve ,I have also been going through health problems of my own I felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest when you told the reptile army of your diagonals I had tears in my eyes because of you I’ve gotten over my anxiety of snakes I held a corn snake for the first time ever last weekend and I know you will beat this and you’re in my thoughts and prayers

Well said❣️ Praying for you, your family, your family of staff, the Reptarium, and the Legacy Aquarium. I’m not a millionaire, but I decided that some money I was saving for a “want” wasn’t as important as helping you fulfill your dream. You and and the crew have educated and inspired me and given me joy for quite a long time for free. I consider my donation a small thing for all you have done and will continue to do in person or in spirit for years to come. Looking forward to visiting the Legacy Aquarium. Hope to see you there. ♥️ Marie

What a beautiful gift the people of Tinley Park did for you Brian, it shows just how much you are loved. Although I'm on a fixed income due to a chronic illness, I will do what I can. We are here, and we love how much you give back to the community and most important the animals. Please be kind to yourself, you are in the fight for you're life, and you can do this!
