Kristine Abgaryan

In 2022, she lost her son in Jermuk… He was defending Armenia… and he never came back. Today, we are doing the most honest thing we can — we are saving a MOTHER’s life

Today in Armenia, it is Motherhood Day. We congratulate, we embrace, we give thanks…
But there are mothers whose hearts carry endless pain…
Because they gave the most precious thing they had to their homeland — their sons.

Kristine Abgaryan.
In 2022, she lost her son in Jermuk… He was defending Armenia… and he never came back.

Today, we are doing the most honest thing we can — we are saving a MOTHER’s life.
Without formal greetings, without empty words…

Because apart from us, she has no one.
The state does not cover the cost of this treatment.
Which means there is simply nowhere for her to wait for help from.

Beside her is her elderly husband, a Group III инвалид.
They do not work.

Cancer can be treated,
but treatment is extremely expensive.

And you know… today our foundation turns 10 years old.
Ten long,
very hard years.
We were not able to organize any anniversary events… there is neither strength nor mood for that.

It’s clear that in today’s world, the chances for peace are almost nonexistent, no matter where you live…
But we can resist evil — simply by remaining human… by feeling and sharing the pain of others…

Yesterday, journalists called:
“Will there be a celebration?”
The head of the foundation replied:
“There will be no celebration.”
Life is what it is — and so are the holidays.

All collected funds will go toward Kristine’s treatment.
The first course has already begun.
The fundraising goal is 4,200,000 AMD (11,200 USD, 885,000 RUB).
