Vlad Pie

President – "Save a Heart" Association

Vlad Placinta runs one of the most successful fundraising platforms in Romania, built on the principles of total transparency, operational efficiency and measurable impact. Under his coordination, the "Save a Heart" Association has generated concrete results: • over 1,600 medical cases supported * over 27 million euros mobilized for life-saving treatments and interventions * a functional model in which funds are directed directly to clinics, with public reporting and full traceability The organization functions as a strategic partner for the business environment, facilitating the involvement of companies through efficient tax mechanisms (sponsorships, D177), in a legal, simple and fully transparent framework. The performance and credibility of this model have been validated through relevant recognitions: • Third place – Civil Society Gala * the "Man of the Year 2023" distinction * the title of Honorary Citizen awarded at local level Vlad Placinta's vision is clear: transforming social responsibility from a punctual gesture into a strategic tool through which companies can generate real impact, verifiable and immediate.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Our Amelia is growing into a beautiful child with a big heart. From time to time, we still spend periods in hospitals with her because her immune system is not very strong yet, and we do monthly tests and check-ups. However, we hope and truly believe that she will always remain in complete remission. God is watching over her. Thank you very much.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the “Save a Heart” Association for the support given to us during an extremely difficult period. The help we received not only provided the financial assistance we desperately needed but also gave us the reassurance that we are not alone in our fight 🥹. Our children, Antonia and David, suffer from a rare mitochondrial disease caused by the SUCLG1 genetic mutation, accompanied by profound bilateral hearing loss, which severely affects all their bodily functions. They require daily special treatment, recovery therapies, and permanent care for absolutely all their needs – from drinking water, eating pureed food, to being changed and so much more 🥹 – while we live each day under the constant fear and stress of coping with all these challenges. Your involvement, especially when we traveled with them to Canada for a medical study, was of immeasurable help. Your gesture brought light and hope into our lives! When people unite for a cause, miracles become reality 🙏🏻. We sincerely thank you for your commitment, seriousness, and understanding! A mother with two severely affected children

Before the surgery, Andreea’s life was full of pain and limitations. It was hard for us to see her struggle, tire easily, and become increasingly sad and withdrawn.

Before the surgery, Andreea’s life was full of pain and limitations. It was hard for us to see her struggle, tire easily, and become increasingly sad and withdrawn. Scoliosis affected not only her spine, but also her self-confidence. We lived with heavy hearts and the fear that time was working against us. 💬 When we found out that she urgently needed surgery, the costs overwhelmed us. We didn’t know which way to turn. But then something happened that we will never forget: kind-hearted people—both those we knew and complete strangers—started to support us. 💬 We are deeply grateful to the “Save a Heart” Association, which made this life-saving intervention possible. Their support was essential. We thank all the donors—whether they gave a small or large amount, every gesture mattered. We are profoundly thankful to our relatives, Andreea’s teachers, her schoolmates, and close friends who stood by us during the hardest times. 💬 With special gratitude, we thank Dr. Engin Çetin, who performed the surgery with professionalism and care, and the translators from “Liv Hospital” – for their support, their patience, and for making us feel understood in a foreign country and during deeply emotional moments. 💬 The surgery was a success, and today Andreea walks with a straight back and a smile on her face. We’re happy to see her dreaming again and becoming the cheerful little girl she once was. This experience has transformed us and taught us how much good people can do when they come together for a noble cause. 💬 We feel immense gratitude. Thank you to everyone who was part of Andreea’s healing. Our story is about hope, courage, and love – and about the fact that miracles are possible when you’re not alone.

I had back pain, I couldn’t do certain activities like other kids, and the constant worry about my posture and how my back looked became a burden. I was afraid of the future and felt different. The surgery completely changed my life. It was an experience that taught me how important courage is. It showed me what I can achieve and how strong I can be. The support I received from the “Save a Heart” association meant everything to me. Without their help, and the support of my relatives, friends, and all the people who chose to be part of my story, this intervention might not have been possible. They gave me not just practical help, but also confidence, hope, and the feeling that I’m not alone. They were there for me exactly when I needed it most. Now I feel joy and peace. I feel better, more confident, and I can once again enjoy the simple things—without fear. My message to other children or adults going through this is: Have faith! Even if it seems hard, you are not alone. With the right support, everything can change for the better.

Hello, I want to share a few words about the journey my daughter went through when she was only 14 years old. In Romania, we were given no chance. At first, we didn’t know who to turn to or who we could tell our story to for help, until we gathered our courage and reached out to Mr. Vlad Plăci... Hello, I want to share a few words about the journey my daughter went through when she was only 14 years old. In Romania, we were given no chance. At first, we didn’t know who to turn to or who we could tell our story to for help, until we gathered our courage and reached out to Mr. Vlad Plăcintă and the association “Save a Heart.” When we told Mr. Vlad about Cosmina’s situation, he guided us to a clinic in Turkey. In the beginning, we had no hope and no support, but thanks to the “Save a Heart” Association, we were given a chance at life and the help we desperately needed. We thank them wholeheartedly for listening to us and standing by our side. Today, thanks to Mr. Vlad Plăcintă and “Save a Heart,” Cosmina is a grown young lady and has been given the chance for a new life!

Dear Mr. Vlad Plăcintă, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the dedication, effort, and kindness you have shown in embracing my story. Thanks to your support and that of the “Save a Heart” Foundation, I have been given a new chance at life – the chance to remain by my child’s side, to hope, to fight, and to keep moving forward. I know it is not easy to carry so many destinies on your shoulders, yet you do it with dignity, courage, and a heart full of compassion.
