Hello,
familiar strangers and friends.
My name is Tsoko Velkov and I am turning to you with a broken heart, together to save the life of my wife Annie.
I will briefly tell you about our family and what we faced in the happiest moment for us.
For more than 12 years we have been fighting to fulfill our greatest dream, to fulfill our most cherished wish, which is to hear the words Mom and Dad. We went through countless research and in-vitro attempts. After a long period of faith and hope, disappointment came again and again. Last year a little sun entered our home. We adopted a baby boy! Our joy was indescribable! Our home was filled with happiness. We were preparing and planning his first birthday celebration.
Unfortunately , this much awaited and craved celebration of our family turned out to be the beginning of a new battle for our family. That same day my wife felt unwell and was admitted to hospital with a suspected stroke. After a scan, we heard the dreaded diagnosis - a brain tumor. Emergency surgery was performed, but unfortunately the doctors did not give a good prognosis, and we were referred for post-operative treatment in Turkey. We underwent radiation and chemotherapy for a year. The treatment was producing results and she was feeling better and better. Hope came back and shone again in our home.
Alas, it did not last long. At the end of January this year. Annie was again admitted to the hospital as an emergency with severe pain, difficulty breathing and coughing. A biopsy was performed and everything needed to save her life was done.
We again went to the hospital in Turkey where she had imaging done and was given a new treatment of 6 courses of chemotherapy. Mid February Annie went through the first course of chemo.
Up until this point our family had been able to manage financially on our own, but the new offer is unaffordable for us.

I AM REACHING OUT TO ALL OF YOU WHO WILL TAKE OUR BATTLE INTO YOUR HEARTS AND HELP BRING ANNIE'S RADIANT SMILE BACK.
ALL OF YOU WHO WILL HELP ANNIE ENJOY OUR BABY AND BE BY HER SIDE!
ALL OF YOU WHO WILL ALSO HELP FOR OUR LITTLE BOY'S SAKE, SO HE CAN GROW UP WITH MOMMY'S SMILE AND HUGS.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE TO EVERYONE WHO WILL STAND WITH US IN THIS BATTLE!
