6,836 donors stood by Moni and raised €265,093.08 for his treatment. The initial fundraising goal of €200,000 has been exceeded, with donations now reaching 133% of the target. Most importantly, treatment has already begun.
On September 27, Moni was admitted to hospital as an emergency after suddenly developing problems with his memory, speech, and movement.
Medical examinations revealed a large brain tumor and severe hydrocephalus - a buildup of fluid that creates dangerous pressure inside the brain.
Emergency surgery was necessary to manage the hydrocephalus and obtain a tissue sample for biopsy.
After the procedure, his condition gradually began to improve. He was able to talk to his children again, eat independently, and slowly return to some of his everyday activities.
The family faced the need for further medical examinations and long-term treatment.
A total of 6,836 people responded to the appeal, raising €265,093.08 - €65,093.08 above the initial fundraising goal.
Thanks to the donors' support, Moni can move forward to the next stage of his treatment.
On October 29 and 30, Moni underwent his first radiotherapy sessions. Chemotherapy also began alongside the radiation treatment.
On November 6, another encouraging update arrived - the result of a molecular test offered hope that the tumor may respond to the prescribed therapy.
In just a few weeks, Moni and his loved ones went from facing a serious diagnosis and uncertainty to the start of treatment and the first encouraging results.
His treatment continues, and the fundraising campaign remains active.
We thank everyone who donated, shared the campaign, and helped the family reach this point.
