Help 9-year-old Idan Get Cancer Treatment
Donation protected
Let me start from the end and give you the bottom line: YOUR HELP IS NEEDED. A 9-year-old boy from Israel was just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, had a tumor removed from his brain, requires a life-saving treatment which is not available in Israel, has to travel with his family to New Jersey to receive the treatment his parents can’t afford. We need your donations. Every dollar counts. Here are the details (This is my son, Jesse, in the video. He's well and healthy, and needs your help saving his friend's life):
Moran Zukarel is our friend. She lives in Israel with her husband Mor and their three children Idan (9), Or (5), and Bar (2). Moran is an attorney, happily married, who until recently lead an ordinary life just like you and me. Two weeks ago when Idan, her 9-year-old son, started throwing up and complaining about headaches. Their pediatrician ran some tests, all came back normal, leading to the conclusion that it’s probably just a virus and time would heal it. Moran felt there was more to it and insisted on getting an MRI. The results turned their lives upside down in one second.
A large tumor was found in 9-year-old Idan’s brain. He immediately went into surgery lasting several hours. All family and friends prayed for good news. We all wanted to hear the doctors say the tumor was benign and that Idan can just go back to playing soccer and going to school like every other kid. Unfortunately, the tumor was diagnosed as stage 4 cancer.
The family quickly learned that the life saving treatment Idan requires in not available in Israel, and they will have to travel the United Stated to receive the therapy.
As I am writing these words, the family is making arrangements to travel to New Jersey, where Idan will be treated. The cost of the treatment, travel, and accommodation is out of their reach. They are spending all they have, but they need help. Friends and family are helping as much as possible but that’s not enough. They need our help to fund the treatment. EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS, even if you have just a single dollar to give, that’s a tremendous help. Please, open your heart and wallet, and give as much as you can. We thank you in advance from the bottom of our hearts!
