Zevi Naftalin is a fighter. At just five years old, he’s already been through more than most of us could ever imagine. But his biggest battle yet has been against sarcoma cancer, a rare and aggressive type of cancer that has taken over his body.
His mother, Penina, discovered a lump on his arm during a bath a few years ago, and since then, it’s been an uphill battle. Zevi has undergone countless rounds of chemotherapy, each one more painful than the last. But despite it all, he’s held on to hope that he will live.
It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions for the Naftalin family. The diagnosis was devastating, and they’ve watched as their little boy has suffered through treatment after treatment. But just when it seemed like there was no hope left, a miracle happened.
The doctors discovered a medicine that they believe can cure Zevi’s cancer. It was like a light at the end of a long and dark tunnel, and the generosity of the organization Darchei Miriam, who offered to pay for the first round of treatment, gave them their first glimmer of hope.
But the next few rounds are up to Zevi’s family, and the cost is in the thousands of dollars. Penina is begging for help from the community to save her son. She’s pleading with readers to open their hearts and donate, to help put Zevi on the path to recovery. Click here to help>>
