Our Wish, a Cure for Aram
Donation protected
Aram Manoogian, a life long resident of Bergen County , NJ, is a graduate of Dumont High School and Fairleigh Dickinson University. He is 35 years old. On March 20, 2017 he was rushed to Hackensack University Medical Center, complaining of numbness in his left arm and hand. While in the emergency room , he suffered a seizure ..
Aram, being an otherwise healthy and active young man was shocked and devastated to hear that he was diagnosed with Grade 4 Glioblastoma, the most aggressive type of brain cancer.
Since then, Aram has had to endure the pain of 2 brain surgeries, the second of which has left him partially paralyzed and unable to work.
He has participated in 2 clinical trials... one at Memorial Sloan Kettering, and the other at the Duke University Cancer Center in North Carolina. Unfortunately, it was not enough.
THERE IS NO KNOWN CURE FOR THIS DISEASE.
We have not lost our hope and we have faith that we will find a cure.
Aram was recently accepted into a program located in Tuebingen, Germany.
Doctors there have had success treating patients with a targeted vaccine specific to the genetics of his tumor.
The cost of this life saving treatment is NOT covered by any medical insurance, nor is this treatment available in the United States. This vaccine will have to be administered in Germany over the next 2 years. Aram will have to travel to Germany for this treatment every 4-6 weeks.
Through battling this disease, Aram and his family will be incurring the expenses of the vaccinations, international travel, and general medical care.
We desperately need your help as we embark upon this journey to getting the care that will save Aram's life.
We are extremely grateful for any donation. With heartfelt thanks and hope for a brighter future...
God Bless
