An Appeal for Help
for Dragoslav Bokan |

Dear friends,
|
Our dear friend Dragoslav Bokan is going through a very difficult test in life these days. He’s leading a new battle: this time for his health. After many years of being our support, guidance, lighthouse and our wisest and dearest teacher who selflessly sacrificed himself and his precious time for us, the time has come when he is in need of our help. Our very real, and not virtual, help. And it’s needed urgently!
Our idea is that every one of us (those who want to and are able to) donate a sum of money to the fundraising campaign open which will be directed by Bokan’s wife Zeljka Zdjelar.
Why? Because our brother in his time of need cannot earn enough for a living nor for the existence of his family (his wife and four kids – the youngest of which is but one month old). This means that he cannot get enough for medicine.
If only a fifth of us (his Facebook friends ie. approximately 1000 people) donated at least 1000 dinars, that would already be a notable amount. Of course, everybody to their abilities (even a smaller donation would mean a lot).
Let us ask ourselves if we would pay a ticket for one of his speeches? For many the answer is, without a doubt, yes!
Instead of buying a ticket, let us all together help our irreplaceable Dragoslav! On more than one occasion, when he would temporarily have to pause his writing on his Facebook journal, he would explain how he didn’t manage to buy the time out of his free time for this activity. Now we are able to help him! We are able to buy him time for his recovery and much needed rest – for his safe dreams and for his family. This way we can, at least, free them from the financial burden which is hanging over their heads. Until Dragoslav returns to us healthy and strong like he was before.
Important notice: This has been completely organized by friends and people who respect Dragoslav Bokan. He hasn’t taken part in one way (it was not his idea) in this. Everything has been started without his knowledge.
We plea that if you wish and are able to help, please do so without procrastinating. It is now time to go from verbal support and nice wishes to concrete action – without thinking twice, measuring things up or being doubtful.
God bless all of you and thank you from the heart to everyone who answers this plea!
