“He can often be found singing a few verses of Country Road when he is feeling down or inpatient for another hospital stay.”
The community of 12-year-old Milen Kichukov, who is living with spina bifida, is fundraising with Help Hope Live to help Milen’s family cover the cost of an accessible van.
An upcoming fundraiser with a country-western theme will raise awareness of his diagnosis while contributing to the campaign in Milen’s honor.
Written by Emily Progin“The fundraiser is kid-friendly and will include a DJ, photo booth, activities, raffles, and more. There will also be a best cowboy boots contest.”
