IN MEMORIAM ANA RUKAVINA ERCEG November 26, 2006 – November 26, 2024

Ana left us too soon that Sunday morning 18 years ago, but her love for life lives on through 183 people who were given a chance at life thanks to her vision of expanding the Croatian Bone Marrow Donor Registry and the Public Cord Blood Bank that bears her name. She lives on through the hope of patients who are currently going through a difficult period of struggle. She also lives on through each of the ten doctors who, thanks to your donations, have been given the opportunity to train in the best clinics in the world and Europe to provide patients with the highest quality treatment, but also a kind and comforting word that sometimes heals more effectively than anything else. She even lives on through the necessary medical devices that the Ana Rukavina Foundation donated to hospitals, which enable faster and better diagnostics and even treatment. And she lives on through all of you who have believed in us and helped us for the past 18 years through volunteering, donations, and selfless support.
And 18 years after her untimely passing, Ana still lives on through her optimistic words and the endless love she had for life and people.
Dear Ana, thank you, you are always in our hearts and thoughts.
