YEREVAN. – A fundraising event will be held Saturday, at Northern Avenue in Armenia’s capital city Yerevan, to help 26-year-old Hasmik Hovhannisyan, who suffers from chronic staphylococcus sepsis (blood poisoning).  

Hasmik’s friends told the aforementioned to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“Hasmik needs to treat her complicated illness solely abroad. According to the preliminary agreement, about 5,000 euros are needed to continue her treatment in Germany. [But] Hasmik does not work at present, and her parents are unable to pay for the treatment costs.

“To save her, an account is opened at Unibank where transfers can be made to the following accounts: 24 10 03 06 67 43 07 (AMD); 24 10 03 06 67 43 08 (USD); 24 10 03 06 67 43 09 (EUR),” Hovhannisyan’s friends informed.

They added that Hasmik is a social activist, a member in several NGOs, and head of the Youth Union. She also initiated a number of charity events, and the proceeds collected from these events were used for providing assistance to families living in border villages, the socially insecure elderly, and orphan children in Armenia. 

The participants in the fundraising at Northern Avenue will sing Armenian national and patriotic songs and perform national dances.
