We’re developing a smart hydrogel that traps chemotherapy inside tumors — reducing side effects, protecting healthy organs, and improving patients’ lives.

Main Story

A kinder, safer future for cancer treatment begins here.

My name is Uriel Shimon Hazi, and for the past several years I’ve been working on a new idea:
What if chemotherapy could stay exactly where it’s needed — inside the tumor — instead of flooding the whole body?

What if we could give patients the benefit of powerful cancer drugs without:

• hair loss

• nausea and vomiting

• nerve damage

• organ toxicity

• months of exhaustion

• long-term side effects that never fully go away

This campaign is about turning that “what if” into reality.

🌟 The Vision: A Self-Assembling Hydrogel That Forms a Barrier Around the Tumor

We are developing a multi-trigger self-assembling hydrogel, a material that can be delivered through a micro-catheter directly into a tumor’s blood supply.

Once it reaches the tumor microenvironment — which is acidic and rich in specific enzymes — the hydrogel instantly assembles into a thin, flexible membrane.

Think of it as a smart, temporary “pocket” inside the tissue that:

✔ Keeps chemotherapy trapped inside the tumor,

✔ Prevents the drug from leaking into healthy tissue,

✔ Destroys the tumor from within,

✔ And drastically lowers systemic side effects.

For many patients — especially those with slow-growing, complex, or borderline-inoperable tumors — this could mean the difference between:

• losing an organ vs. keeping it

• systemic poisoning vs. localized treatment

• months of suffering vs. manageable recovery

• giving up hope vs. getting a second chance

💔 Why This Matters

If you’ve ever watched someone go through chemotherapy, you know the heartbreak:

• The hair on the pillow

• The taste of metal

• The fatigue that makes even walking to the bathroom a battle

• The fear of permanent damage

• The trauma hidden behind “I’m okay”

90% of chemotherapy’s suffering doesn’t come from the tumor —
it comes from the drug leaking into the rest of the body.

We want to stop that from happening.

Not just for one cancer type, but for many tumors where local delivery is possible.

We can’t cure cancer yet.
But we can make cancer treatment kinder.

🚀 Why We’re Raising $2,000,000

This project is at the earliest stage — the moment where funding matters most.

Your donation will support:

1. Materials R&D — $350,000

Developing and optimizing the multi-trigger hydrogel and linkers.

2. Lab validation — $450,000

Confirming the hydrogel assembles only under tumor conditions.

3. Preclinical tumor-boundary models — $500,000

Testing how the membrane forms inside tissue, how long it lasts, and how well it traps drugs.

4. Drug-containment and safety testing — $350,000

5. Delivery-system optimization (micro-catheter compatibility) — $200,000

6. Regulatory & scientific consulting — $150,000

Total: $2,000,000
Every dollar goes toward reaching the first major milestone:
proof of feasibility in real tumor models.

🙏 Why I’m Asking for Your Help

This idea is too early for big grants and too radical for traditional funding — but it could help millions of people.

I believe innovation shouldn’t die in a drawer just because it didn’t have an investor on day one.

And I believe people can build the future together.

If this project succeeds, we may bring forward a new generation of cancer treatments that:

• don’t steal your hair

• don’t destroy your organs

• don’t poison your nervous system

• don’t leave long-term scars

Cancer is already cruel enough.
Treatment doesn’t need to be.

❤️ How You Can Help

✔ Donate — even $5 is meaningful.

✔ Share this campaign with your friends.

✔ Tell someone who has been touched by cancer.

Together, we can build a therapy that treats the tumor — not the human being behind it.

💬 FAQ

Is this money going to a private individual?

No. Funds will be used exclusively for R&D: lab work, materials, testing, and expert consulting.

Does this replace chemotherapy?

No — it enhances chemotherapy by keeping it inside the tumor.

Is this safe?

The hydrogel uses biocompatible components already common in medical research.

Who benefits?

Potentially patients with:
✔ liver tumors
✔ kidney tumors
✔ pancreatic lesions
✔ breast tumors with complex margins
✔ head & neck tumors
✔ slow-growing or borderline-operable cancers

When will this be available?

This GoFundMe supports the first stage — lab validation.
If successful, it could move toward preclinical studies and industrial partnerships.

📣 Closing Message

Please help us create cancer treatments that no longer break the body to save it.
This is a chance to build something compassionate, innovative, and genuinely life-changing.

Thank you for believing in a future where cancer therapy is targeted, humane, and intelligent.
