Arutiun's brain surgery fund
Donation protected
Please help us cover the medical costs of brain surgery for 18 year old Arutiun Varlamian (standing on the far right in the photograph), the only son of one of our monastery's priests. Arutiun was born with cystic fibrosis. With the help of our monastery he and his family came to France 6 years ago from Ukraine, where treatment was unavailable, where the life expectancy for children born with this disease is 15 years old, and where his parents had lost a second child to this disease. Last summer, besides the many and varied symptoms of cystic fibrosis and the side effects of treatment, Arutiun began to suffer extreme headaches, and was diagnosed with a cyst in his brain. Surgery is set for September 29th. Our monastery pays basic medical insurance for the Varlamian family, but we can't cover everything that the family needs right now. Please help us help them!
