And that's Tsveti. She turned 5 today, but that's hardly her happiest birthday. Tsveti's plight is similar to that of Darina and maybe thousands of other kids in Bulgaria. Her diagnosis is just as serious - rabdomiosarcome. The chemotherapy that she had to undergo turned an otherwise cheerful child in a sight that would leave any human being dumbfounded and bring tears in their eyes:

    But there's hope for Tsveti, too  - the tumor can be surgically removed. It is a costly operation that cannot be financed by an average Bulgarian family such as hers. You can find more details about her condition, the history of  her disease and the ways of helping her on Tsveti's website: www.tsvety.net 

    Tears are not the only solution. Every little bit of help can contribute to make little Tsveti's next birthday a much, much happier one. For her and for all her loved ones whose hearts are sinking at the sight, but who believe that sooner or later everything will be as it used to ...

    We surely cannot help all sick children, but even if we help only two of them, our hearts will be filled with angels' songs!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR TSVETI, WE'RE WITH YOU AND WE LOVE YOU!
