Extending compassion and support across borders

Between January and April 2025, the Mobile Team continued its dedicated mission of supporting children with cancer and their families across Bosnia and Herzegovina and beyond. With a strong focus on emotional, logistical, and social support, we reached numerous families in need, ensuring they felt seen, heard, and cared for during some of the most difficult moments in their lives.

Key activities in this reporting period

  1. Social support visits in Zepce and Mostar - We visited the Kesic family in Zepce and the Tuka family in Mostar to provide essential social and psychological support. These visits served to strengthen the families' connection with available services and to remind them they are not alone on this journey.
  1. Emotional support in Kakanj - Our team visited a grieving family in Kakanj, offering heartfelt emotional support and compassionate presence during a period of mourning. Supporting families through grief remains a vital part of our mission.

  2. Cross-border medical transport from Torino - After completing treatment in Italy, we successfully arranged transport for the Mahmutovic family (child Merjem) from Torino back to Bosnia and Herzegovina, ensuring a safe and comfortable return home for the family.

  3. Hospital support and collaboration in Ljubljana - The Mobile Team travelled to Ljubljana, Slovenia, to visit two families currently receiving treatment abroad, the Bišcevic and Jašarevic families. In addition to offering moral support, we held productive meetings with medical staff to strengthen cooperation and ensure optimal care coordination.

  4. Ramadan care package deliveries in Sarajevo - In the spirit of community and compassion during Ramadan, we delivered Ramadan packages to eight families in Sarajevo, including the families Mirvic, Kasapovic, Redzovic, Šatara, Panjeta, Kasapovic ulesma, Gagula, and Muratspahic. This small gesture brought warmth and relief to homes facing both health and financial struggles.

Our impact in this quarter

Through these activities, the Mobile Team has:

  • Ensured continuity of support across borders, particularly for families seeking treatment abroad
  • Provided targeted emotional and social interventions for families dealing with illness and grief
  • Strengthened partnerships with international medical professionals to improve future coordination
  • Celebrated the values of solidarity and empathy through culturally significant support during Ramadan

Looking ahead

In the coming months, the Mobile Team plans to:

  • Expand its collaboration with regional hospitals
  • Increase field visits in underserved rural areas
  • Continue building psychosocial programs for young survivors and families in mourning

We are deeply thankful to our GlobalGiving donors and supporters, whose generosity empowers us to respond with care, empathy, and professionalism wherever we are needed most. Together, we are building a network of strength, healing, and hope.
