Just short of two months ago, a close friend of mine received the most frightening news a mother can receive- her son, her only child, was diagnosed with brain cancer. This was only a year after her own cancer diagnosis (breast cancer). After a year of surgeries and chemotherapy, the family is both financially and emotionally drained.

Goce is an intelligent, talented and warmhearted boy. He has competed in many swimming competitions around Europe, preforms well in school, plays piano and always manages to put a smile on everyone’s face!

Today, this warmhearted boy, is celebrating his thirteenth birthday (on Christmas day), but at the same time, he is battling brain tumor (Glioblastoma Multiforme).

Goce and his family found out about this tragic diagnosis a month ago. Shortly after one of his swimming competitions, Goce began to feel very ill, so his parents brought him to the hospital, where he was rushed for emergency brain surgery.

The tumor biopsy showed that Goce had Glioblastoma Multiforme. In order for Goce to beat this tumor, he will have to seek treatment in Germany. His diagnosis came only a year after his mother’s diagnosis (she’s currently battling breast cancer), so his family will need help funding necessary treatment. 

I'll be withdrawing the money to my personal bank account, and then wire transfer all funds received to Goce's family's medical account. We are hoping to give Goce the option to beat this brain tumor. Any donations will be greatly appreciated.
