Stefan's parents couldn't muster the strength to speak about their son's illness, but little Stefan showed that he is a great fighter and in telephone conversations he said he is in contact with his friend and they prepared a surprise for him, mentioning that he can't wait to meet with them.

- I keep in touch with my friends often, i know they prepared some surprise for me, but i don't know what it is about. Right now i am in a hospital in Belgrade with my friends, the therapy is working, doctors are good to me and i hope i will be in Kosovo in a few days, back to my home, school and friends - said Stefan Tomić for "RTK live".

Stefan's treatment demands even higher expenses, but for gathering any kind of monetary help the a request and permission of parents is necessary, highlights the school principal.
