After a long and hard battle, little Alexandru Barabaş lost the battle with the ruthless CANCER, but WON the eternal Kingdom. Today, with sorrowful hearts, we gather to remember his courage and strength, the love that illuminated the path despite the darkness that surrounded him. The pain of his parents is indescribable in words, a pain that penetrates the depths of the soul and stirs our hearts.
In the face of this tragic destiny, 2,552 good souls united and formed a retaining wall around little Alexander, a child of only 4 years. With every day of struggle, with every prayer and gesture of generosity, we have witnessed human solidarity and compassion. Together, we fought for him, and even though his fragile body could not overcome the disease, our love and community overcame every obstacle.
Today, Alexander lives in the eternal Kingdom, far from the pain and suffering that marked his short life. We all mourn his loss, but take solace in the fact that his pure soul now flies free and happy. He left behind a lesson in courage, strength and unity for all of us.
We were privileged to share this journey with him, and we were blessed to be part of the community that supported him. Alexandru Barabaş will remain in our hearts forever, and his memory will illuminate our way forward.

Hello, our good hearts! 🙏❤️
With small steps, Alex recovers, but he cannot yet breathe on his own. The doctors did CT scans, our fighter feels better. He remains another 5-6 days intubated, under treatment, to gain weight and strengthen because he is weak. He's aware, he hears us, reacts, smiles and wants to tell me something. 🙏 ❤️🙏
We need your continued support and prayers. God bless you! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, with all my heart, for being with us. For your prayers, for your support, we love you! ❤️🙏

In a world where everyday noise can sometimes overwhelm us, there are stories that cross the turmoil and touch the sensitive heartstrings. Imagine a horizon where hope and generosity are intertwined, creating a picture of human solidarity. Here, in the center of this scene, is a little fighter, a little boy only four years old, who carries in his eyes the endless light of hope. Alexander, a name that echoes courage in the face of adversity, is fighting a battle no child should have to fight.
In a joint effort that transcends the boundaries of the soul, an entire community has come together to weave a web of support. The screen of a mobile phone becomes the window through which kindness flows into SMS of hope. Every message sent, every euro donated, turns into a drop of hope in the ocean of Alexander's struggle.
Online publications become voices of solidarity, and every article published, every word written, turns into an echo of compassion that crosses the digital ether. And so, by interweaving our destinies in the burning desire to bring a drop of comfort, the necessary sum of 115,000 euros is raised - a sum that seemed unattainable, but which, through love and unity, becomes a reality.
The fundraising campaign ends, but our joint journey doesn't stop there. What remains is the deepest and purest human act - prayer. In our hearts, in our silent thoughts or reverent words, we pray for Alexander's health. With each prayer, we send him love, give him our patience, give him a little of our strength, and renew his hope.
This story is a testament to the power of community, an anthem of unconditional love, and an ode to human resilience. It is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, the light of hope can shine brightly, fueled by collective good and hearts beating in unison for a noble cause.

Hello, our good hearts!
Lately, we are getting a bit difficult in the fight against cancer. After the surgery, Alex has recovered, but he cannot yet breathe on his own. Extubation was tried a second time today, but he is very weak and still has water to expel from his brain.
The doctor is positive and hopeful, and so are we. For 10 days he will be intubated, during which he will receive treatment to assimilate in kilograms and release water from the brain. The good part is that he is aware, hears us, reacts and even smiles. He is our powerful hero who teaches us to fight new forces day by day.
We need your continued support and prayers. God bless you! Thank you and we love you. 🙏

Our dear people with loving souls, we have not told you anything more about us because Alexander had a few more tiring days. Those mischievous metastases in the brain area produced a nasty hydrocephalus that prevented further chemotherapy treatment.
Last night, Alex showed us once again how powerful he is. Hydrocephalus involved an urgent operation to mount a shunt. We waited 24 hours to give you good news. He's stable, he opens his eyes, he reacts. We recover quickly because we have to continue the war with the monster in his head.
Thank you for your patience in waiting for news from us and for everything you do for us. Alex through you is stronger. We love you! Stay with us!

Dear supporters with big hearts,
In these trying days, our little warrior, Alex, stoically braves the heavy waves of AIS chemotherapy. It's a silent battle, and the declining analyses tell us how fierce the fight is. Drowsiness often embraces him, giving him brief moments of rest from the reality of treatment. There are watershed moments, but our faith is unwavering and we know that, together with divine support, Alex will overcome this bump.
2023-11-06
Good afternoon, generous souls,
Alex has shown us what courage means over the past three days, fighting with a strength that fills us with admiration. By divine grace, today we rejoice to share with you that his condition has improved. In the depths of our hearts, a deep "Thank you, Lord!" 🙏 resounds
With hope and determination, Alex started AIS chemotherapy treatment today. We pray that this stage will bring him comfort and recovery. 🙏
We are grateful to you to heaven and back for your kind thoughts, uplifted prayers, and all your help. Health is indeed the most precious possession, and we feel this profound truth now more than ever.

Hello, our good hearts!
We remain hospitalized, the infection decreases, it's good. 🙏 We hope to start chemotherapy on Friday. Alex is still swollen and tired, but he'll be fine with God's help. 🙏
Lord, give him strength, please! 🙏 Folks, please, I beg you not to leave us! Alex and I ask for your help with all our hearts!

Hello, folks! The long-awaited MRI results have also arrived. We have not so good news, we have numerous metastases. It seems that this new chemotherapy treatment, although it was very powerful, nevertheless for Alexander did not work.
The good part is that the doctors noticed this in time and that is why this MRI was requested earlier than planned. The Board of Oncologists decided to change chemotherapy again. Alexandru is currently receiving antibiotic treatment, after which he will begin İCE chemotherapy. After two cures, new investigations will be made.
Please stay with us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your support. We still need your support and prayers. 🙏I ask you with all my soul to help us!

The transaction details are according to the attached payment order.
Alexandru Barabaş, a boy of only 4 years, with bright eyes and the desire to live a full life, faces a diagnosis difficult to pronounce even for adults - Rhabdiomyosarcoma.

Dear friends and generous hearts,
Today, with tears in my eyes, but also with hope in my heart, I write to you about Alex's difficult journey. I completed my second course of chemotherapy, a process that takes place in three essential stages.
We start with a full day of treatments through the port, lasting 48 hours. Then, on day 8, Alex receives two chemotherapy drugs through the same port. And finally, on the 15th day, one more vital medicine through the port. After this, his little heart begins to recover, to find its strength.
On Monday, next week, we prepare with confidence and fear for the third cure. We entrust our destiny into the hands of the Divine, always saying, "God help!" 🙏
I address you, good people and compassionate hearts: I ask you from the bottom of my soul to help us pull Alex out of this battle with cancer. Without treatment, the tumor can spread rapidly, and the thought is unbearable. With trembling hands and hearts full of hope, I implore you to support us. 🙏
Thank you for all your good gestures, words and thoughts. Every help counts, every prayer surrounds Alex with a protective light. I implore you not to leave us at this critical time. We are deeply grateful for any form of support. 🙏
With endless hope and love,
2023-10-09
Today, Alexander had the catheter port put in and blood samples taken for analysis. We will also do physiotherapy and look forward to the results. We hope they will be good so that tomorrow chemotherapy can begin. 🙏 God help!
Once again, I come with a request to you. Without your help, we will not succeed. I beg you from the bottom of my soul to support us, to help us raise the necessary amount for treatment. Help me get Alex out of the clutches of this ruthless disease. 🙏 Watch him fight! Alex wants so much to live a life without pain and tears. 🙏

So began Alexander's sad story, a beginning full of suffering and uncertainty. For 3 months, I lived a real hell. A dangerous operation was required to perform a simple biopsy, and everything took a frightening turn when a serious infection was mistaken for an ear tumor. The incorrect diagnosis was a shock: "BRAIN TUMOR... "
In those moments, I heard the worst words possible: "NO CHANCE." I did not give up, but neither did I accept the verdict of that doctor from Moldova. We decided to seek help in Turkey.
8 months of treatment have already passed in Turkey, and miracles are beginning to appear. Alexander's ear is now clear, the lines of his face have almost completely regenerated, and his eye can now tear. Before, when she cried from the infection, she had no tears. The soft tissues of the face recovered.
The truth is that it was not a brain tumor, but rhabdomyosarcoma. Now, we are fighting this tumor directly. I beg you, I beg you from the bottom of my heart, help us overcome this terrible disease.
Cancer is not a death sentence, but if we stop treatment, the tumor will begin to spread throughout the body. Please don't abandon us, folks. It helps save a child's life, because he is strong and fights with all his might for life.
As you have helped us so far, I beg you on my knees to continue to support us. We are all in this struggle, and every gesture of generosity brings more light into Alexander's life. May God reward you for your kindness and help during this difficult time.

Alex is a bit weak, but that's normal after chemotherapy. We pray from the bottom of our hearts that everything will pass without adverse reactions. He is a true fighter and we admire his courage. 🙏 Lord, protect him and help him overcome this trial. 🙏
Folks, thank you deeply and, on behalf of Alex, for all your support, involvement, help and prayers. You have been by our side in the most difficult moments, and for that, we are deeply grateful. I wish you all the best and keep your health - it is the greatest wealth in the world. 🙏
But, my dear ones, we still need your help, your prayers and your continued involvement. I beg you from the bottom of my heart, help me get Alex out of this cruel battle with cancer. He is my most precious treasure. Without him, my world would crumble. For him I live and for him I fight. Without proper treatment, Alex won't stand a chance. Please, from my heart and with tears in your eyes, HELP us! 🙏🩺

A wave of deep emotion engulfs my being. Each success strengthens our hope and brings us closer to the moment we look forward to with so much desire. Chemotherapy, a step in this fight, is currently postponed. The results of the analyses are gradually improving. Alex receives the Neopogen treatment. Today, with his eyes bright and full of confidence, Alex approached the doctor's table and, with overwhelming sincerity, asked him to take him in his arms. He's deeply attached to Professor Tunch. After that, he took my hand and we walked together. Thank you, Lord, for all your trials, but also for the blessings You bring us. I put all my faith in You, our God. Lovers of people, I am grateful to you to the bottom of my soul for your support and love. 🙏 I wish you health and happiness from the bottom of my heart. 🙏 Thanks to you, Alex finds the strength to fight every day. 🙏 But our journey is not over, and we still need your support. I ask you from the bottom of my heart to be in your thoughts and actions, to help us overcome this trial. Alex does not give up, he has an iron will. But without your help, our struggle would be much harder. I beg you from the bottom of my heart. 🙏
Campaign started on 26.09.2023
Last name: Barabash
First name: Alexander
Age: 4 years old
Amount needed: 115,000 euro
Diagnosis: rhabdomyosarcoma - an extremely aggressive type of cancer.
The treatment will be performed at Medical Park Clinic in Istanbul.
Alexandru's Fight Story: A Cry to Humanity
On a morning like any other, Barabas İana, a 32-year-old young mother, saw her son with a swollen face. This morning was about to mark the beginning of an endless nightmare.
At first, she thought Alexandru had a simple dental problem. But a visit to the neurologist turned their world upside down, receiving the cruel diagnosis of Cancer. And as if this wasn't devastating enough news, a series of medical errors and a misdiagnosis followed. Little Alexander, in reality, was suffering from rhabdomyosarcoma - an extremely aggressive type of cancer.
With tears in her eyes and a broken soul, Barabas İana reached out to us with a message that shattered our hearts:
"Dear God, I beg you, look at me and consider my desperate plea. Please take me instead of Alexander! Nothing is harder for a mother than to see her child's suffering without being able to do anything. He is my soul, my smile every morning. I look into his eyes and I see the future, hope, love. I implore you, kind people, to open your hearts and help my child. I want to see him growing up, playing, realizing his dreams. Help me give him this chance. I beg you, from the depths of my soul, to save my child."
Alexandru is being raised by İana with the help of his grandmother. Without a father by their side, the two women represent the whole world to him. With limited resources, they are trying everything possible to see Alexandru smiling and enjoying his childhood.
Unfortunately, time is against them. Treatment in Turkey seems to be the only chance for Alexandru's survival. With a cost of 115,000 euro, the treatment far exceeds their financial possibilities.
In these difficult times, our compassion and solidarity are essential. Help Alexander fight. Help him stay by his mother's and grandmother's side. Help a desperate mother not lose hope and her child. Each of us can make a difference.
