There are moments when the word “support” takes on its true meaning.

One such moment took place on March 27, 2026, when we organized a workshop titled “Five Stages of Grief – A Psychological Response to Diagnosis” in the amphitheater of the Clinic for Internal Medicine at the University Clinical Center Tuzla. Through this activity, as part of our psychological support project, we created a safe space for emotions, conversation, and mutual understanding.

Lung cancer does not affect only the body - it has a profound impact on mental and emotional well-being, bringing fear, uncertainty, and a sense of isolation. That is why this workshop was more than just an educational session - it was a gathering of people who understand each other and who give one another the strength to move forward.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to those who recognized the importance of this initiative and contributed to its realization:
- Rotary Club Tuzla - for donating mugs that brought smiles to participants
- Tesco - for providing fruit, water, and refreshments that enriched the gathering

We are also proud that through this activity we supported other valuable communities and individuals:
- “Green Network” Cooperative
- “Snaga žene” Association Tuzla
- Amela Kasumović Malkić, through the purchase of healthy energy snacks, supporting her dedicated work and the development of local entrepreneurship

We would also like to extend our gratitude to the University Clinical Center Tuzla, as well as the Research and Development Sector, for their cooperation, support, and trust.

Finally, we thank our participants - for their honesty, courage, and willingness to share their stories. You are the reason we exist.

Because together - we are not alone.
Because together - we have wings of hope.
