Please Help Little Andrew and Get a Free License
Sunday, February 28th, 2010
Update from 03/02: PayPal donations are possible now.
Update from 03/04: Current information. Please see below.
Update from 03/04: More products added to the offer (MySQL Debugger and several products from Dair Computer Systems)
Update from 07/03 and 08/03: Surgery went well, the tumor is malignant, but no metastasys. Hoping for the best.
I have a personal request to all people willing to help, and in exchange we’ll send you a free license for any of our software titles (Web Log Storming, Agenda At Once or CD Label Designer). Also, we want to thank George Schmidt and Dennis Reinhardt who both wish to join this effort by giving away a license for their products under same conditions: MySQL Debugger, HtmlApp Studio, DialogDevil and TelephoneMessagePad. Thank you, George and Dennis!
A friend’s 5-year-old son, Andrew (Andrej) Knezevic, has, unfortunately, been diagnosed with a brain tumor (dg. tu trunci cerebri). As we live in Serbia, a relatively underdeveloped country, the only possible treatment is a surgical operation that can be done in Zurich (Switzerland). However, the cost of this treatment is nearly 100,000 € that must be paid by his parents (see below for the current information). Needless to say, it’s the kind of money they, or most people here, don’t have. They already contacted various charity organizations, but responses are either slow or negative, and for this little kid every day matters.
That said, I would like to ask you kindly: instead of buying our software, please donate what you can to this family in order to help their boy getting better. There’s no minimum amount – now is not the time to be picky, as every dollar or euro means a lot.
After you do that, please submit a ticket message or leave a comment below and we’ll send you a license key. Please don’t forget to include an amount you’ve donated and the software title you are interested in.
For further information visit a Facebook group page (mostly in Serbian, with few English sentences) and feel free to forward this article to anyone you know (you can simply use Tweet button above or other social network buttons below).
Sincerely,
Vladimir Radmilovic

Current information
Thank you all of you who helped Andrew in any way, either by donating, spreading a word or both.
03/03: As Andrew’s condition becomes worse with each day, the clinic accepted to do a surgery even though there is no enough money yet. At this moment he’s in Zurich and we are waiting for further news. There’s still need for about 50,000 €, so if you haven’t already, please consider contributing now or forward this post to you friends. Thank you in advance!
03/04: Andrew is currently on the intensive care and he’s feeling slightly better, thanks to therapy he’s receiving. Doctors expect that he will be ready for a surgery in few days. What’s most important, according to information currently available, the main surgeon is optimistic! Let’s hope that everything will be alright soon…
07/03 and 08/03: Thanks to all who participated, the 100,000 € checkpoint is reached and there was enough money for the surgery which took place on Saturday, March 6. Surgery went well but, unfortunately, the tumor is malignant. Later analysis shows that there is no metastasis, which is a good part of the news. Still, Andrew and his family will now need more money to finance a chemotherapy and other treatment, to return debts and regain property they sold. That’s why we will continue with this offer.
Andrew feels much better after the surgery. He’s not in the intensive care room anymore, he’s talking a lot, smiling and doctor is very satisfied how recovery goes so far. He’s a strong boy and we all hope and believe that he will beat the illness!
