June 23 The  day Andrei was operated on. I don't think there are enough words of gratitude and gratitude in the vocabulary of the Romanian language for all those who have been by our side and with whose help this has been possible. I gratefully thank the associations "Born Angel", "Save a Heart", "Enosis", SC GTTrans, SC "Adi-Silv" SRL, the "Franciscan" High School, the wonderful children, the management of the high school and all those who were with us. If on March 4, following the consultation that took place in Bucharest, everything seemed like a dream, now this dream has come true. The rehabilitation and improvement of his health were possible thanks to you. Under the slogan "Together for Andrei", indeed, together we succeeded. Thank you, thank you, thank you! May God bless you, protect you, and reward you for your kindness and love for him.

Payments Fisier 1

A week ago, I received a desperate call from Andrei's mother. Her voice trembled with pain and anxiety, and for more than an hour she told me with tears in her eyes about her son's critical condition. Andrei urgently needed a complex operation at the best orthopedist in the world, an intervention that could give him back the chance to walk again. The amount needed was overwhelming – over 19000 euros, a financial barrier impossible for the Măzăroaie family to overcome.

At first, I felt overwhelmed by the gravity of the situation. But we knew that we could not remain indifferent. In just 9 days, we managed to raise the difference of 16,162 euros, thanks to an extraordinary community of donors in Romania, generous sponsors and the central and local press who responded with an open heart to the cry for help of this family. Today, the Save a Heart Association has paid the amount of 16162 euros, covering the costs of medical recovery, according to the attached payment order.

Our fight continues, but today we have taken a huge step forward. We thank from the bottom of our hearts all those who supported us. Every donation, every word of encouragement meant a lot to Andrei and his family.

Dear

Today was a wonderful day thanks to the invaluable support of the Save a Heart Association. The story of my son, Andrei, was published by 16 online newspapers, national and local. I was deeply impressed by the prompt and generous response of all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your solidarity and support.

However, our fight is not over. By the end of the week we have to pay the bill for Andrei's treatment at the clinic in Poland. This amount represents his chance for a healthy and normal life.

I ask you from the bottom of my heart to continue to support us. Every share and every donation matters enormously for my son's life. Any amount, no matter how small, brings us closer to our goal.

Thank you again for all your support. Together, we can do wonders for Andrei! (Andrei's mother)

Dear supporters and friends of Andrei,

With a heart full of hope and gratitude, I bring to your attention the latest news related to Andrei Mihai Măzăroaie's fight against spastic tetraparesis, a condition that significantly limits his mobility and quality of life.

After numerous discussions and requests, we managed to obtain from the medical institution an extension of the payment term for the essential surgery that Andrei has to do. The new deadline is June 15, 2024, and this gives us a valuable window to raise the required amount of 19,662 euros.

The treatment will take place at the renowned Paley European Institute in Poland, where Andrei will receive the necessary care to improve his condition and take steps towards a more normal life.

Right now, every contribution matters more than ever. Any amount, big or small, helps us get closer to our goal and gives Andrei the chance to a better life.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any form of support you have chosen to offer – whether it is donations, sharing Andrei's story with others, or your kind thoughts that accompany us on this difficult road.

VERY URGENT!!

Name: Măzăroaie

First name: Andrei Mihai

Age: 17  years

Amount required: 19662 euro

Diagnosis: spastic tetraparesis

The treatment will be performed at the Paley European Institute Poland

Andrei's story

Andrei Mihai Măzăroaie was born in Iasi on 11.12.2006 and is currently residing in Roman, Neamţ County. He is now 17 years old and is a ninth grade C student at the Roman Catholic Theological High School "Saint Francis of Assisi" in Roman.

Andrei's story starts like this: he was born prematurely, at 28 weeks. Undergoing special treatment, he suffered an accident and had a cardio-respiratory attack (stroke) and fell into a coma for 12 hours. From that moment began his brain and locomotor disease, being diagnosed with cerebral palsy and spastic tetraparesis. From the first year of his life he began his medical recovery, through various therapies, then he did various surgical operations, herniated disc, then eye operations, then myofibrotomy operations, needing every month special drugs that are not found in Romania. For this reason, every time his family has to look for medicines abroad, sometimes in Italy, sometimes in Belgium.

Andrei has always been confined to a wheelchair. Despite this, he continued to be included in the education system, and now he has reached the high school level, with special regime, continuing medicinal therapy and kinesiotherapy. Andrei's great wish is to be able to walk alone. According to doctors' statements, this would be possible with therapy and other surgeries.

However, his recent situation has become critical. In March 2024 he was consulted by a doctor in Bucharest who indicated a necessary, but somewhat special, operation to avoid the risk of crossing his legs. With this operation, Andrei would take a step forward towards being able to walk and be independent.

The most difficult part is that the surgery cannot be done in Romania. In clinics and hospitals in Romania there is no special equipment for this type of intervention and no specialists. For this reason, his parents searched and found a clinic in Warsaw, Poland, in the European Paley Institute, the closest and least expensive country that could do this type of surgery. The total price is 34,662 euros, plus travel and accommodation costs for parents. The time for this intervention is quite short. The operation should be done in June 2024. His parents do not have financial means to cover the cost of the operation.

Our goal is to help Andrei to be able to do this surgery in June, which will improve his health, not risk crossing his legs and help him in his recovery. If this operation is not possible, then Andrei's situation will worsen, and his legs will cross in a relatively short time. This will lead to a loss of hope of ever being able to walk again... But Andrei is one of us, and like any other, he also has the right to life, dignity and education, he also has the right to dream of a fulfilled life.

The operation must be done between June 20-24, 2024, then there will be 28 days of recovery, receiving other equipment and therapies necessary to improve his situation.

"There are days when my despair peaks. I watch my child and see how every day goes by without him being able to do simple things that other children do effortlessly. We have done everything we could so far, but the costs are huge and we are running out of resources. I always hoped I would find a way to help him, but now I feel powerless. I beg you, as a mother, to help me give Andrei the chance to a normal life. We only ask for one chance, just one. I know that if we manage to raise this money, Andrei will be able to walk, play and be the happy child he deserves to be. I don't know who to turn to anymore, but I believe in the power of solidarity and goodness. Any help matters enormously. Please help us fulfill this dream!"Andrei's mother told us

ONLY TOGETHER WILL WE SUCCEED!
