Miljana`s Leukemia Fight
Donation protected
Miljana Ristic, mother of 17th month old Vukasin, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), an aggressive blood cancer, in March 2017. Doctors and hospitals in Serbia did not have the expertise and resources for treatment of this aggressive and life-threatening cancer and recommended that she seek treatment elsewhere. Due to the generosity and kindness of family, friends and countless other people, we were able to raise the funds needed for initial treatment at the Hammersmith clinic in London, England. Following chemotherapy and stem cell transplant, which Miljana endured bravely, her prognosis was good.
Unfortunately, two months ago, her condition worsened; in addition to the cancer returning, doctors discovered lung and liver infections causing additional hospitalization. Doctors, Miljana and our family remain optimistic, given that her condition stabilized following recent and necessary intervention to save her life. However, this all led to additional costs, amounting to $45,000 above what has originally been collected.
We are grateful to the many that have already contributed, but are, once again, asking for help and generosity of those and others to help raise $45,000 needed for additional treatment that will cure Miljana.
On behalf of Miljana, Vukasin, and Marko Stankovic, thank you for your continued help and support! Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
Darko Stankovic, Vukasin's uncle.
We are initiating this $45,000 campaign through GoFundMe platform, since YouCaring is integrating with GoFundMe and will not accept donations after May 2018 for PayPal accounts originating in Serbia.
Nasa borba je pocela u martu prosle godine kada je Miljani Ristic, mladoj mami sedamnaestomesecnog Vukasina, dijagnostikovana akutna mijeloblastna leukemija, izuzetno agresivna i opasna vrsta raka kostane srzi. Zahvaljujuci sugradjanima, prijateljima i svim ljudima dobrog srca, koji su preko noci postali deo nase porodice, prikupljena su novcana sredstva za njeno lecenje u Hammersmith klinici u Londonu. Miljana je sve hemioterapije, kao i samu transplantaciju maticnih celija, podnela hrabro i uz osmeh, i sve je ukazivalo na potpuni oporavak.
Nazalost, pre dva meseca njeno stanje se pogorsalo. Lekari su prvo otkrili infekciju na plucima i jetri, da bi ubrzo nakon toga konstatovali povratak bolesti. Posle ovog sokantnog saznanja Miljanina porodica je imala million pitanja za lekare, a Miljana samo jedno: “Kada se vracam kuci mom sinu?”
Ova mlada hrabra zena je prosla kroz novi ciklus hemioterapija, i primila dve dodatne doze maticnih celija. Njeno zdravstveno stanje je trenutno stabilno, a lekari su optimisticni i veruju u najbolji moguci ishod lecenja nase Miljane. Medjutim, celokupna situacija dovela je do novih bolnickih troskova u iznosu od 45.000 $, sto prevazilazi prvobitno prikupljenu sumu novca.
Ovim putem vas jos jednom molimo da ponovimo proslogodisnje cudo i da svojim prilogom omogucimo Miljani dalje lecenje u Londonu, te da joj zajedno odgovorimo na pitanje: Uskoro se vracas kuci, tvoj Vule te ceka!
Cuvajte Miljanu u svojim mislima i molitvama!
