Raising $50,000 for Bulgarian Children's Health Foundation
I am rasing money for a non-profit after being profoundly touched by the tragic story of recently born Bulgarian twin girls.
The two baby girls, Tanya and Victoria Kyamilovi were born prematurely. They were saved by their physicians but were inflicted by a condition often found among prematurely born children. The disease is called Retinopathy of Prematurity and leads to gradual detachment of the retina, and blindness, unless treated at the first sign of its appearance (more information here: ROP). Tanya and Victoria have been scheduled for an eye operation in Belgium but their parents cannot afford the treatment. Moreover, I have found out from the treating physician in Bulgaria that the incidence of ROP has dramatically increased in my native country because many more premature babies are saved from an early death than in the past.
I am raising $50,000. A third of this amount will be used to help Tanya and Victoria gain a last chance to be saved from total darkness through surgical intervention at a specialized eye clinic in Belgium. The other two thirds will be used to fund a non-profit organization I have registered with the goal to transfer medical equipment and training for the treatment of ROP in Bulgaria.
I have been able to gain the support of the employees of Citibank in Bulgaria as well as of some of my US friends and associates. After only a short period, $5,000 of this amount have already been raised. If you wish to help my cause, please donate below.
