Tigran Aghasyan or Tiko to his friends and family is only 35 and battling with a complicated form of lymphoma. In 2019, Tiko was diagnosed with Stage 4a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common aggressive type of cancer that requires an equally aggressive treatment. After a year of treatment, Tiko's cancer has resurfaced and he now requires a bone marrow transplant in Germany. If the procedure can be done in the next 14 days, the doctors expect a positive outcome.


However, as a citizen of Armenia, the life-saving medical treatment available only in Germany is outrageously costly for a non-citizen. The family has exhausted their financial resources last year flying him to Germany to seek treatment, but the illness came back and they now have no choice but to ask us to help save Tiko's life. At $450,000 Euros for the bone marrow transplant, we hope that you will help with a donation of any amount. Even $10 can make a difference. The goal is large and we are trying to raise a fraction of this amount toward Tiko's treatment. 


For those who have been lucky enough to know him, Tiko is a kindhearted, funny, generous person, a wonderful uncle, brother and son. He is the definition of a good friend. Before this terrible illness struck him, he was working to build up his father’s business, which is now falling apart without him.
