Yesterday, in Stepanakert Culture and Youth Palace, a benefit concert
took place to raise needed funds to cover the medical costs of four
year-old Edward Arzumanyan who was born without a gullet.
The boy had undergone a life-saving operation that used a section of
large intestine to replace the missing organ.
Edward~Rs father Gourgen says that when the boy eats, food gets
constricted in th gullet, warranting numerous trips to a Yerevan
hospital for surgery.
The only resolution is a total transplant.
The boy~Rs family has contacted a clinic in Israel that is ready to
perform the operation at a cost of $55,000 to $57,000.
Such an amount is way beyond the reach of Gourgen, who works as a
deliveryman at a local pizza shop. He fled Baku 23 years ago and has
been renting a house for his family ever since.
Students set-up the ~SEdward Arzumanyan Fund~T last December and have
been organizing fundraising events like yesterday~Rs concert.
Gourgen is an Artsakh War veteran who lost his twin brother in the
conflict.
Right now he says that his only hope to save his son Edward is the
kindness of others.
Those wishing to contribute to the Edward Arzumanyan Fund can do so
