It is with deep regret and heartfelt sorrow to the family and friends of 4-year-old Andrej Zdravkovski that we announce his passing away on March 4, 2007.  May God Rest His Soul.

Although the members of the United Macedonian Diaspora did not have the chance to meet young Andrej in person, he touched our lives, showing us that giant-sized courage comes in little bodies.  He will be missed.  However, we know that his memory will be eternal!

The United Macedonia Diaspora would also like to take this moment to thank all those who gave time and their monetary contributions to help Andrej with his battle against the illness that took his life.  We are grateful for your noble and kind hearts.

Andrej suffered from a fast growing tumor on the brain stem glioma.
