After <strong>Tatjana Obradovi\u0107<\/strong>, who adopted a <strong>butterfly child<\/strong>, another woman has <strong>touched hearts<\/strong> with her extraordinary gesture. <strong>An\u0111elka Zagor\u010di\u0107<\/strong> has decided to <strong>donate the stem cells<\/strong> she had preserved for her daughter <strong>to someone in urgent need of them for recovery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;We preserved stem cells 16 years ago when I gave birth to my fourth child, my son Novak. At the time, we intended to use them for the treatment of my daughter Jana, who has type 1 diabetes. Since medicine has not yet advanced enough to treat this disease with stem cells, we decided to give them to another child who can benefit from them,&#8221;<\/em> An\u0111elka told <strong>RINA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-58.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-173802\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The story of a <strong>sick girl from Smederevo<\/strong> deeply moved the <strong>Zagor\u010di\u0107 family<\/strong>, leading them to <strong>donate the preserved stem cells without hesitation<\/strong>. <strong>Jana<\/strong>, for whom the cells were originally stored, <strong>fully supported the decision<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Perhaps the girl suffering from aplastic anemia won\u2019t be a match, as several medical parameters must align. But that won\u2019t stop us. We are open to exchanging the preserved stem cells for a compatible match, and if that\u2019s not possible, we will donate them to another child who can be helped,&#8221;<\/em> says this <strong>compassionate woman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-59.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-173803\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Their <strong>goal is to help a sick child<\/strong> in <strong>any way they can<\/strong>, as they understand the <strong>struggles firsthand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;I often say that I am a wealthy woman\u2014not in material things, but in what truly matters: my daughters and sons. However, I also know what it means to have a sick child. There is nothing harder, believe me.
