Benefit Concert!

Zoran & Melissa are good friends of ours in Clear Lake. Zoran is originally from Macedonia and has one sister Iva who is 28. Last fall Iva was diagnosed with a rare and very aggressive type of cancer. Macedonia did not offer the treatment program needed so they petitioned to send her elsewhere. They approved a program in Austria last winter but within a few short months the cancer progressed.

Zoran and Melissa decided that the best choice was to bring her to the US for treatment, which also meant that they would be paying for her treatment bill completely out of pocket. The cost of her chemo is around $2,000 a day. However the major costs are treatments for side effects, hospital stays and tests. They just found out that one of the tumors is still growing even with an extensive chemo regiment. They are praying she will be accepted into clinical trial at MD Anderson. Needless to say the bills are adding up faster than the money coming in from even the most generous donors.

If you would like to learn more or are not interested in the concert but would like to donate any amount click the yellow flower on the right. They would be very grateful.
