Support Inela, Nadja & Isa

Elma Tankovic is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Inela Tufekcic.
 
Denis Tufekcic is my cousin who our family lost to cancer on August 23, 2021, at the age of 38. Denis’ aura was that of sincerity, calmness and kindness, he always made time for his family and friends. During his difficult battle against the cruel disease, he fought hard so that his family would not be impacted. He was a caring and supportive husband to Inela during their 4.5 years of marriage, and a super-dad to his children, Nadja (3.5) and Isa (6 months).
 
Denis was an extremely hard worker and the primary breadwinner for his family. As a dedicated employee at the Learning Library Inc., Denis gave back to the community by teaching and assisting others in their education goals. He was tech savvy, and believed in the power of education.
 
In August 2020 Denis was diagnosed with small intestine cancer which was believed to be cured. Denis was a fighter, he courageously endured his treatments and fought until the very end. In July of 2021 the cancer came back and he had to undergo two additional surgeries within a short time frame. One month after the second surgery he passed away.
 
This devastating loss has taken a severe emotional and financial toll. This sad situation is further amplified by the realization that Inela and her two children will continue their struggle in a country (Bosnia and Herzegovina) that is poor and on low levels in all social segments, including a high unemployment rate, and now there are additional pressures/restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Inela will need to juggle her job as a sales-associate at the store, Zara and care for her two young children.
 
We sincerely hope that this financial support will at least in some way help Inela and her children in paying down the mortgage on their apartment, and help them secure a roof over their head.
 
Any help is appreciated. Please share this link. In Denis’ memory and in loving support of Inela, Nadja and Isa, we thank you.
 
 
Regards,
 
Family and friends of Denis
