About Edvin:

Edvin's support squad is a charity founded to support students at the Reykjakoti preschool in Mosfellsbær. Edvin Gaal-Szabo is three years old and was diagnosed with leukemia (blood cancer) in December 2023.

Edvin moved to Iceland with his parents and sister Elza in April 2023. Edvin started at Reykjakoti in August 2023 and his sister Elza started schooling at Varmárskóli.  Edvin's parents immediately went to work and were starting an exciting life in Iceland when Edvin fell ill and their lives changed.

His immune system is very sensitive and his body has a hard time fighting off infections. Therefore, preventive measures are important and Edvin's parents need to minimize all contact with other people. They are unable to work and this results in a large loss of income for the family as well as creating challenging situations as they have little support network in this country.

Edvin is currently in the first phase of his two-year treatment for leukemia. He knows all the doctors and nurses, he helps them draw blood from his medicine well device which is connected through the chest.  He does all interventions despite saying that he is afraid and puts his trust in the doctors even though it involves suffering. Edvin is still the most cooperative child or shall we say person his parents have ever met. Except when it comes to grilled chicken, he shows no mercy and wants his way.!
