Novak shows his generosity, finances private flight to get baby Sofia to the US for treatment ASAP

Once again, the Serbian tennis player helped those in trouble, while businessman Miodrag Kostic also donated money for a private flight

The best news of the day in Serbia is that funds (over $2 million) have been raised for the treatment of one-year-old Sofija Markuljevic and that she will soon travel to the US with the hope of getting cured of spinal muscular atrophy type 1.

Her parents informed the public that the money had been collected, and that it would soon be deposited to the account of a hospital the United States, while Novak Djokovic, along with businessman Miodrag Kostic, personally took care that Sofia arrived there as soon as possible by providing funds for a private flight for the little girl!

Once again, our ace showed he has a big heart.

"God willing, the plan is to make the payment to the hospital as soon as possible, enter the process of obtaining visas and set off for America. Afterwards, everything is in God's hands. The funds raised should be enough for a three-month stay in the United States. We hope that some unforeseen circumstances will not occur. We are especially grateful to Miodrag Kostic and his company, as well as Novak Djokovic, who provided a private flight to America, because their help came as the crown of this campaign for a better life of our Sofija. Without their engagement, organizing the trip to America in the conditions of the coronavirus pandemic would not have been so easy to do. Our fight does not end here, because other children are waiting for their chance! Stay with us and thank you once again for your support throughout our fight!"

Apart from Novak and Kostic, Sofija's parents, of course, sent strong words of gratitude to everyone who helped raise funds in a record time.

"Dear people, we would like to inform you that we have received a confirmation from the Budi Human Foundation and m:tel RS that funds have been collected for the treatment of our Sofija and that we HAVE SUCCEDED! We have mixed feelings, we are not yet aware that we have reached the goal. THANK GOD AND THANK ALL YOU GOOD PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED OUR FIGHT AND GAVE SOFIJA A CHANCE TO FIGHT! Thank you for every SMS, for every donation, for every like, share, thank you for everything that made it possible to raise funds for treatment in a little over 4 months of fighting. Sofija has united Serbia, the Serb Republic Srpska and BiH, Montenegro, the entire region and all our people in the diaspora, and this struggle of ours is proof that good people still exist everywhere! We owe great gratitude to our team that worked hard for the previous 4 months, came up with new ideas day and night, which gave us the strength to carry on even when it was hard..."
