Let’s Save 1-Year-Old Davit’s Life

About Project

1-year-old Davit urgently needs our help in his fight against cancer. In June 2024, when Davit was just 6 months old, his mother noticed swelling in his abdomen and immediately took him to the doctor. After several tests, he was diagnosed with cancer – neuroblastoma. Since the diagnosis, Davit has been receiving cancer treatment at the Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorders Centre of Armenia with the support of City of Smile Foundation. Davit is the only child of a family displaced from Artsakh. His mother was pregnant with him when the forced displacement began, and the family had to leave their home. In December, Davit was born in Yerevan. After a year of continuous treatment – surgery, chemotherapy, autotransplantation, proton therapy, and maintenance treatment – Davit currently shows temporary positive progress. To strengthen this progress and help him fully recover, Davit needs to receive immunotherapy with 10 vials (1 vial = 20 mg) of a medicine called Dinutuxumab beta. The total amount needed to purchase this medication is about 29.250.000 AMD. We kindly ask you to help Davit and make donations to City of Smile Foundation, so that we can purchase this life-saving medicine as soon as possible and give Davit a chance to fight. Together we can save Davit’s life.
