Supporting Zhane’s journey in fighting CJD ❤️

To my dear friends and family and people that know me or just are willing to help,

My name is Nadica, and I’m reaching out on behalf of someone incredibly dear to me and my mom-our neighbor for 20+ years and our close family friend, Zhane, living in Skopje, Macedonia.

Zhane is the most kind-hearted, selfless soul I have ever known. She has always been a fighter—she beat breast cancer not once, but twice. Even while facing her own battles, she remained the first to offer a helping hand, the first to smile, and the last to ever complain.

Today, she is facing something no one should have to: Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD)—an extremely rare, aggressive neurological disorder for which there is, heartbreakingly, no cure and which has a rapid progression.

Zhane’s condition is worsening quickly. As we face this devastating reality, we want to ensure that the time she has left is filled with peace, love, and as little pain as possible. She deserves that. Her family deserves that.

This fundraiser will help cover the immense costs of care, symptom relief, medications and support for her hard-working family during this unimaginably difficult time. Anything you can give—no matter how small—will make a difference. And for that I am personally extremely grateful.

Please help us bring comfort to a woman who has spent her life bringing comfort to others. Let’s show Zhane that even in the darkest times, love and kindness can shine through for her.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Yours,

Nadi(ca)

P.S. Due to Zhane’s current medical condition, we are unable to share any recent photos of her out of respect for her privacy and dignity. However, we are happy to share photos of her from healthier times, which reflect the vibrant, loving person she is. Thank you for understanding and for your support during this incredibly difficult time. The funds raised for her, will go directly to her and her family in Skopje.
