On July 23rd, Narek turned 4 years old, we had a celebration at a local pizza parlor. Narek and his mayrig (Anahit) have been in the USA since December 2009 getting radiation and chemo treatment at the City of Hope Hospital in Duarte, CA.
8 months later there is an improvement to the tumor growth. Narek remains a happy loving child full of hope and positive behavior. A grown adult would crumble at the pain of chemo - this child is one brave little warrior.
Anahid is a strong loving mother that has sacrificed everything for her child. Our community is behind them 100%, the Armenian media, the Armenian Churches, businesses, schools and individuals.
Anahid is a Social worker in her native Armenia, where she ironically dealt with many sick children. Nothing can prepare you for your own personal heartbreak, but it will certainly make Anahid more understanding of the parents in Armenia that deal with the stress of an illness.
Say your prayers every night for Narek. God I love that kid!!!!!!!
we are happy to be a part of Narek's journey in the USA. thank you vanoush for getting us involved.
