❤️Cancer is eating away her face: Please help Stavi.❤️

Imagine being woken up by pain at around 2 a.m. You only sleep for 3-4 hours. You are already taking too many painkillers. Your liver is having problems.

Your cheek and lips are burning, your eye feels like it is being stabbed with a knife. Pain shoots through your face like electric shocks. You can't even cry to process your grief – the pain in your eye is unbearable.

And you know that this is now your life – every day, every minute.

This is Stavi's reality.

We are Sandrina, Leon, Lillemor, Wolfgang, Betty, Viney, Usman and a few others. We are proud friends of Stavi, some of us for over 30 years, with mutual love.

We are writing because we want to do everything we can to keep Stavi alive.

And today we have to ask for your help because we can't do it alone anymore.

What is happening right now

Stavi has aggressive glandular cancer in her face.

Within a few weeks, it has shot out of her face like a bone, filled her mouth, grown into her brain and almost caused blindness in her left eye. Three types of cancer on just one side of her face, which compress almost all the nerves in her face and cause pain.

She usually sleeps from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m., then from 3 a.m. onwards she is awake continuously. The pain is so extreme that there have been moments when she has banged her head against a wall to distract herself from these "electric shock-like" attacks on her face.

Knowing and witnessing this breaks our hearts.

Stavi is currently considered medically palliative as if we were just waiting for her to die.

There is an immunotherapy that could cure her up to 100%, but no one will cover the costs of almost 300,000 €. The reason: Stavi's cancer is too rare, it is not profitable for the health insurance companies.

But we are not prepared to let her story end here. We love her and want her to continue to be part of our lives.

There are options and there is hope.

After intensive research and discussions, we have found additional therapeutic approaches that could offer a real chance. These approaches could reduce Stavi's pain, restore her quality of life and give her more time – and there is evidence that these therapies can bring about a complete recovery. In other words, Stavi's face would one day look the way life intended it to.

Therapies for Stavi

Why we need you

Stavi has been struggling for over a year, with appointments, tests, consultations, research and too many different painkillers. Many of them led to her being rushed to hospital as an emergency case. Often alone, because her family died decades ago.

As friends, we have done everything we can to make various options available to her. But our financial resources are exhausted.
And that is precisely why we are writing these lines. We need your help.

To enable Stavi to undergo these three therapy modules step by step, we need a total of 250,000 €.

Every contribution helps – and immediately:

Without this support, the outlook is bleak according to medical estimates – Stavi is unlikely to make it to autumn 2026.

If you are willing and able to give: THANK YOU!!!


And if you are unable to give at the moment:

please share this page with as many people as possible – this is often the decisive factor.

Who is Stavi, anyway?

Stavi has spent her whole life supporting people – free of charge as a coach – and bringing back lots of laughter. She helps girls and young women with their immigration and guides them towards greater self-love.

As an artist, she gives free workshops for children. She became a trainer so she could teach young people everything she knows. On top of that, she gives hugs, which people love to get from Stavi because she really gives them a lot of closeness and security.

For almost 20 years, she had her own brand in the fashion industry, producing fashion in Italy and India, designed by Stavi.

She has helped people not to commit suicide. She herself was dying twice and built herself up to live. What remains is her indescribable courage and curiosity about life, always wanting to learn new things. She continues to carry her belief in the universe, in life and in God. Empathy, resilience and an ever-beaming face – that's what makes Stavi who she is.

From the bottom of our hearts: please help us keep Stavi alive.

Thank you for your time. Your compassion. Your help.

You are sharing our page with other people: we all bow to you now with great gratitude.

Stavi's friends

Dear friends,

I am Ousmane, one of Stavi's closest friends. I look after her almost every day. In emergencies, she calls me and I drive her to hospital. We have had a few emergencies, especially when she has to take new painkillers and they cause her to suffer from poisoning. Stavi and I have become like family to each other. I have had a few emergencies myself, and she has taken care of me. If you have any other questions, please watch the video – Stavi speaks for herself on camera. Regarding planned therapies, please read the text. We would like to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for helping us to help this wonderful person.

Thank you.

Ousmane
