Sabinka’s Battle: A Story of Resilience, Love, and Hope Against Stage IV Neuroblastoma

When you hear about a child fighting cancer, the world seems to pause. Hearts tighten, breaths shorten, and everything inside you whispers, “This isn’t fair.” That’s exactly how Sabinka’s family felt the day they heard the words stage IV neuroblastoma. A 9-centimeter tumor—bigger than her tiny hands—was growing inside her little body. She was just a child. She should’ve been running, playing, laughing… not preparing to fight for her life.
But from the very first day, Sabinka showed a strength that defied her age. She wasn’t just fighting cancer—she was fighting for her future, and for every dream she hadn’t even had the chance to imagine yet.
A Diagnosis That Shattered a Family’s World
Neuroblastoma is rare. Aggressive. Cruel. And when it reaches stage IV, it becomes an all-consuming battle. For Sabinka’s family, the diagnosis felt like the ground had been pulled from beneath them. One moment, they were living the normal life of parents raising a young child. The next, they were thrown into a world of oncology terms, emergency decisions, and a countdown that seemed to move too fast.
The doctors explained the severity. They explained the risks. They explained the battle ahead. But nothing could prepare a parent for the moment they look at their child and realize life may never be the same.
Still, Sabinka did what she always does—she lifted her chin, took a deep breath, and stepped into the fight with more courage than some adults ever find in a lifetime.
A Journey Across Countries to Save a Life
Sometimes, fighting cancer means staying in one hospital and following one treatment plan. But Sabinka’s case was different. Her cancer was relentless, and her family knew that they couldn’t rely on just one system or one country.
In Israel
Her treatment began in Israel, where she underwent multiple rounds of chemotherapy. The sessions were grueling. The chemicals designed to save her life also drained her strength. Her hair fell. Her energy slipped away. The hospital became a second home, the nurses and doctors a second family.
She endured every infusion, every injection, every night she lay awake in pain—and she kept going.
Then Spain
When the doctors recommended immunotherapy, the next step led Sabinka and her family all the way to Spain.
New country, new hospital, new challenges.
But she fought just the same.
Every day was another needle. Another scan. Another moment where her parents held their breath, waiting to hear whether her body was responding.
And slowly—miraculously—her body began to heal.

A Miracle: Reaching Remission
After months of treatments, miles of travel, and endless moments of fear, Sabinka reached what every cancer family prays for: remission.
The word felt like sunlight after a year of storms. It felt like life returning.
Her parents cried. The nurses cried. The doctors who had fought beside her smiled for the first time in months.
But remission is not the end. Not with neuroblastoma. Not at stage IV.
It’s a pause—a fragile, precious pause—in a battle that requires years of follow-ups, scans, medication, monitoring, and an unending fear of recurrence.
Still, remission brought hope. It brought breathing room. And it brought the belief that Sabinka’s future could truly be saved.
The Endless Financial and Emotional Toll
Most people don’t see the behind-the-scenes hardship of battling childhood cancer. They see the updates, the photos, the smiles on good days. But what they don’t see is the crushing financial weight that comes with survival.
Sabinka’s family has spent months moving between countries, paying for medical treatments not covered by insurance, and covering the costs of travel, accommodation, and specialized care.
Every scan means more money.
Every treatment means more bills.
Every follow-up means another financial decision no parent should ever have to make.
They have given everything—emotionally, physically, financially—to keep their little girl alive.
But they can’t do it alone anymore.
