Last week we brought you the story of young Lukas. At just four-years-old, Lukas has been through more than what some people go through in a lifetime. Suffering from a rare brain tumour called medulloblastoma, Lukas will need to travel to the US to receive special treatment to have a fighting chance of finally beating the cancer. The treatment will cost the family in excess of $200,000.
After just one week, Lukas’ mother Irene has told Neos Kosmos that over $60,000 has been deposited in the family’s bank account by Friday, with a single $10,000 donation placed by an generous anonymous person. Neos Kosmos wants to thank the Greek community for getting behind the cause and for showing just how much philanthropy is part of our community’s nature.
The family is deeply touched by the outpouring of support, and see their dream of getting Lukas to the US becoming a reality. Donations are still needed, so please dig deep for this young boy, pass on the story to your friends and family to give Lukas a fighting chance at life.
