Let's help Alex together
🌱 Cause with a mission: Less waste, more kindness.
At Aquamarin Hotel, we believe that good things start with small choices – both in the kitchen and in the heart.
That is why we launched our Food for Life initiative, a project for the sensible management of food waste. Instead of throwing away excess food, we optimize our processes to reduce waste and free up resources for truly meaningful causes.
❤️ We help Alex
With the funds raised from the waste we save, we support Alex, a brave child who is battling a rare and severe syndrome. Every dollar we save from discarded food will be donated to his treatment. For us, this is not just a gesture, but a moral duty.
A gift with a cause
🎁 In partnership with talented mothers who care for their sick children, we offer handmade gifts with a story and heart.
Each item is created with love and hope for a better future. By purchasing these “gifts with a cause,” you directly support families in need.

The story of Alek
On the eve of our son Alex’s sixth birthday (April 2024), we heard the terrible words that no parent ever wants to hear… “Your child has a gene mutation. We confirm the diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.”
We started a race against time, as the disease progresses rapidly (body distortion, disability, affecting the respiratory tract, digestive system, and heart),and we had to find adequate treatment quickly (in Bulgaria, the disease is considered incurable and is treated with corticosteroid therapy, which is aggressive and triggers other diseases).
We found hope and an alternative at the Turkish clinic LIV hospital and the team of Prof. Dr. Erdal Karayoz.They use stem cell therapy, ozone therapy, and physical therapy at a cost of €10,000 per infusion. These are necessary to keep our child’s body functioning and prevent the disease from progressing. For now, we are doing the infusion every 2-3 months, with at least 10 more infusions to go. Currently, there is a medication that costs over $3 million, but the price is expected to drop over time and become affordable so that Alex and many other children can be cured. Until then, we need your support so that our little boy can have a normal and fulfilling life, a happy childhood, and a smile on his face. Anyone who wishes and is able to do so can support us financially and share Alex’s donation account.
Be healthy and blessed. Heartfelt thanks from us, Angel, Anelia, and Alexander.

The history of Deniz
Our story began three and a half years ago. I had a wonderful pregnancy, everything seemed normal. On November 9, 2021, our little ray of sunshine was born. He was underweight and short, and they detected a heart murmur. The neonatologists did all the necessary tests and said that he was healthy and could go home. And then it all started…
Very painful and prolonged colic, constant crying, we couldn’t calm him down for hours, sleep problems, refusal to eat, delayed motor development, and many other issues. After three and a half months, Deniz was diagnosed with a rare genetic syndrome called Williams-Beuren syndrome (Elf syndrome), a deletion of about 26 genes on chromosome 7, as well as heart malformations—pulmonary stenosis and aortic valve stenosis.
We immediately began early intervention for his development. A year and a half later, the colic disappeared and he became a very happy child, began to explore the world around him with great curiosity, became very social, and every little victory was the most unique thing for us!
This is Deniz, who loves music, laughter, and life.
