Andrei is just 2 years old — a curious and joyful little boy whose world changed because of a single photograph. A white reflex appeared in one of his eyes in a flash photo, something his parents never expected. But that subtle glow revealed a serious danger: retinoblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of eye cancer.

 After rushing to ophthalmologists, a series of medical tests confirmed that Andrei urgently needs specialized treatment abroad to preserve not only his sight — but potentially his life.
