Lukas, a five-year-old boy from Latvia, is fighting neuroblastoma, a severe form of cancer. After several tests, his family received the diagnosis, and he is now undergoing intensive chemotherapy that may last up to two years. The treatment plan includes a bone marrow transplant in Lithuania and kidney surgery to remove a tumor affecting major blood vessels.

To help cover medical expenses and support the family, a charity concert is being organized. Organizers invite everyone to attend the event, enjoy musical performances, and donate if possible. Every contribution is meaningful and helps Lukas on his road to recovery. Donations can be made to account LV76PARX0017134060001, beneficiary Arvis Petkuns.

On social media, Lukas's father thanked supporters, stating that their kindness and prayers have given the family strength to continue the fight. He acknowledged that the journey is difficult, with setbacks and hard days, but there are also moments of joy and hope that keep them going.
