Fundraising for Paul's treatment
In 2005, after a medical mistake, I've lost my ability to walk. Now, 10 years later and after 15 medical procedures, I will have my final surgery on July 15,2017.
This procedure is called "Total Hip Replacement" during which my current prosthesis will be removed and a new one will be mounted, this will allow me to be able to walk again without any problems.

After all of these years, I do not have the financial support to pay for the surgery anymore. This is why I am asking for your help, with a small donation you can help me enormously.
The price for the whole procedure and rehabilitation is of 15.000€
Hospitalization in department of orthopedics: 7.482€
Rehabilitation: 7.518€
