Help Andrei walk

Donation protected
This is my cousin's only son. There is finally hope for him to be able to walk after a series of 11 surgeries to be performed in Germany. The total cost of the surgeries is approximately 100,000 euros. Let's help Andrei with as little or as much as we can to raise the money he needs so that he can have the future he deserves.

Andrei's story :

An 11-Year-old child from Gura Humorului city, Romania, Andrei-Ionut Varvaroi, who suffers from spastic tetraparesis  and can't walk alone--only with great difficulty he can do a few steps, supported--needs money urgently to get treatment at a clinic in Germany. After five surgeries and countless therapy sessions in the country, who stole away his childhood and matured him way too soon, after no doctor from Romania told him that one day he could be independent and walk alone, unexpected news came from Germany.

A team of specialists from a clinic in Germany, after performing a lot of investigations, told him that he could get surgery and walk on his own. On a scale of 1 to 5--5 being the worst level of disease--Andrei was placed by the German doctors on a level of 1,5--which means his chances of walking alone, running in the snow, writing alone and enjoying the beautiful years of childhood are very high.

But at what cost  Andrei's greatest dream can come true? At an estimated calculation, the costs of the 11 operations that Andrei should have over the course of a year and a half,  would be 53.000 euros, to which it should be added the  costs of the orthosis to be worn by the child after the first surgery and the cost of living for the family during the time that they will be traveling abroad for the treatment. Only a sling costs between 14.000 and 16.000 euros, Andrei needs two orthotics, which, within three months, must be changed. Andrei's dream of walking on his own costs about 100.000 euros, money that his parents, Maria-Magdalena and Ovidiu Varvaroi, both of them teachers at  "Alexandru cel Bun" college  in Gura Humorului, do not currently have.

Povestea lui Andrei:

Un copil în vârstă de 11 ani, din Gura Humorului, Andrei-Ionuţ Varvaroi, care suferă de tetrapareză spastică şi nu poate să meargă singur, reuşind cu dificultate să facă doar câţiva paşi sprijinit, are nevoie urgent de bani pentru a se trata la o clinică din Germania. După cinci operaţii şi nenumărate şedinţe de terapie în ţară, care i-au furat copilăria şi l-au maturizat înainte de vreme, după ce nici un medic din România nu i-a spus că, într-o zi, va putea fi independent şi va putea merge singur, o veste neaşteptată a venit din Germania.

O echipă de specialişti de la o clinică din Germania, după ce i-au făcut copilului foarte multe investigaţii, i-au spus că poate fi operat şi va merge singur. Pe o scară de la 1 la 5, 5 fiind nivelul cel mai grav al bolii, Andrei a fost situat de medicii germani la nivelul 1,5, ceea ce înseamnă că şansele lui de a merge, de a face primii paşi singur, de a alerga în zăpadă, de a scrie singur, de a se bucura de anii frumoşi ai copilăriei sunt foarte mari.

Dar cu ce costuri, visul cel mai mare al lui Andrei se poate împlini? La un calcul estimativ, costurile celor 11 operaţii pe care ar trebui să le facă Andrei, pe perioada unui an şi jumătate, chiar doi, ar fi de 53.000 de euro, la care se adaugă costurile ortezelor care trebuie purtate de copil după primele intervenţii chirurgicale. O orteză costă între 14.000 şi 16.000 de euro, Andrei având nevoie de două orteze, care, la un interval de circa trei luni, trebuie schimbate. Visul lui Andrei de a merge singur costă circa 100.000 de euro, bani de care părinţii lui, Maria-Magdalena şi Ovidiu Varvaroi, profesori la Colegiul „Alexandru cel Bun” din Gura Humorului, nu dispun momentan
