Help Sava Get Life-Changing MS Treatment & Be the Dad He Wants to Be

Sava’s Fight Against MS
Imagine not being able to take your child to the park, go for a simple walk, or teach them how to ride a bike. For most dads, these are everyday moments—but for Sava, they are impossible.
In 2018, Sava was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a condition that is rapidly stealing his ability to move, work, and be the father he dreams of being for his 3-year-old son, Luka.
His days are filled with pain, exhaustion, and relentless medical treatments. He currently relies on four allied health professionals just to manage daily life. But he still fights every single day to be present for his son.
There is hope—but we need your help.


The Treatment That Could Change Everything
Sava has exhausted all available treatments in Australia, but there is one procedure that could halt his MS and help him reclaim his life—Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT).
The best option for him is Clinica Ruiz in Mexico, where thousands of MS patients have successfully received this treatment.
The cost? $100,000 AUD—far beyond what Sava and his family can afford alone.
⏳ We have until May 2nd to raise the funds to give Sava a fighting chance.
This money will cover:
✔ The medical treatment at Clinica Ruiz
✔ Recovery support at home (Ashlee, his partner, may need babysitters while she works & studies)
✔ Travel & medical costs to safely return home

Sava’s Words: A Father’s Plea for Help
"My biggest goal in life is to be the best dad I can be. Right now, I can only play with my son for short periods before my body gives out. I can’t take him for walks, I can’t teach him how to ride a bike, I can’t even kick a ball with him like I used to."
"This treatment is my only chance to stop my MS from progressing. It could give me back my independence, my mobility, and most importantly, my ability to be there for my son. But I can’t do this alone."
"Please, if you can help—even just by sharing this page—it would mean the world to me and my family."
