Support Gabriella's Brave Battle Against Cancer

We are reaching out with hopeful hearts for support for our brave daughter, Gabriella. Just five years old, Gabby has been battling stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma since August 2023. Despite her immense courage, this journey has been incredibly challenging for our family of six, both emotionally and financially.

Gabby is full of life and creativity. She loves drawing, ballet dancing, recording little videos, and applying makeup, lighting up when she does the things that make her feel like herself. She sings her heart out to her favorite songs, and her favorite singer Karo Ayrumyan’s music brings her so much comfort and joy. Gabby has a big soul and equally big dreams - she’s spent so much of her life between hospital walls, dreaming of owning a house on wheels one day so she can travel and see the world. Despite all she has endured, her biggest hardship has been being away from her siblings, who she loves with all her heart. She even requests to FaceTime her siblings to play hide-and-seek over video chat.

Gabriella’s faith in God gives her strength every day. She finds hope when she looks to the sun, seeing a sign of God’s love shining on her, guiding her forward. This faith gives her courage, and her resilient spirit inspires everyone around her.

Gabriella’s treatment journey has taken her from Armenia, where she began with four rounds of high-dose chemotherapy, to Barcelona for surgery and immunotherapy. We are profoundly grateful for the tireless dedication of The Health Fund for Children of Armenia (HFC) and Anna Hovhannisyan, whose incredible efforts raised over €300,000 for Gabby’s treatment in Barcelona. Thanks to their unwavering support, Gabby now has a fighting chance. However, it became clear that her ultimate hope for recovery resides at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York, one of the world’s most renowned children’s cancer centers. Here, she has undergone additional surgeries and immunotherapies. Her doctors are hopeful, and Gabby is as determined as ever. Now, she faces MIBG treatment — a difficult but essential step in her fight. She is ready to keep fighting, showing us every day what it means to be a warrior.

Our situation has become dire. Due to visa restrictions, we cannot work, and our savings have been depleted. Meeting basic needs like rent and food has become a struggle. We humbly ask for your help to support Gabriella and our family during this challenging time. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make an immense difference, allowing us to focus on what truly matters — Gabriella’s health and recovery.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity. Your support means the world to us and gives Gabriella the hope to keep shining.
