Pianist, 33, dies of melanoma

Pianist, 33, dies of melanoma

Early this year, we posted an appeal for the Slovenian pianist Sabina Svigelj, who sought treatment in Israel for Mucosal Melanoma.

The appeal raised $97,321.00

Today we received this tragic news:
It is with profound sadness that I share the news that Sabina passed away yesterday, August 13th. Our hearts are heavy as we begin to navigate life without her.

We are incredibly grateful for the love, support, and kindness you have shown us during this time. Your thoughts and prayers mean the world to us as we mourn her loss and celebrate her life.

Thank you for being here for us.

With gratitude,
Helena Švigelj
