Dear colleagues and friends,

As many of you know, our incredible Protocol Assistant, Vasilina, has been bravely battling stage 3 cancer for nearly a year. Her strength, resilience, and unwavering commitment to supporting others, even during the most challenging time of her life, is truly remarkable and inspiring.

For over 17 years, Vasilina has been the quiet force behind countless successful visits and engagements, providing her thoughtful guidance and expertise to all matters. Her dedication to the U.S. Government and to each of us personally has left a lasting impact that words alone cannot capture.

Now, as her fight continues, she needs our support. Crucial tests must be sent abroad, and additional life-saving medications are required. These treatments come at a significant financial cost. We hold on to the hope that soon, we will celebrate her full recovery and hear her proudly say she is cancer-free.

If you are able, please consider contributing to this fundraiser. Every donation, no matter the size, brings her closer to healing.

With much gratitude,

Anastasia
