3 year old boy needs OUR help

Donation protected
Hello everyone,

my name is Tamara and I'm raising money to help my childhood friend and neighbor Marina, who's son was recently diagnosed with an eye carcinoma or Retinoblastoma. Retinoblastoma is an uncommon eye cancer that usually affects children under 5, although it can affect children of any age.

It's overwhelming to think about the many families facing sickness, because it's scary to think that it could happen to us. Many people know a family whose life changed forever the moment they recieved a serious diagnosis for a child. Life no longer feels normal.

My friend Marina lives with her family in Samobor, Croatia. Her and her husband have a 7 year old boy and 3 year old boy who's unfortunately diagnosed with an eye cancer. Marina has to take her son to a specially equipped hospital in Switzerland which is far away from their home. Marina and her son will have to remain in Switzerland during his treatment, surgery and recovery. We can only imagine the amount of expenses this unfortunate family is going to have on top of everything else. No one knows if he will need only one surgery or multiple.

So I need all of you good people to find it in your heart and give any donation you can, so we can all together, hopefully, relieve some of the stress this family is currently going through. This family really NEEDS our help.

Every act of kindness, no matter how small, is never wasted.

Any donation will be greatly appreciated.
