Campaign Update:

Hello again! and thank you for stopping by!

We have been working diligently these last few months to find the right wheelchair for Alex. We have focused on finding a reliable vendor that would offer a cost effective product, adequate warranty & support, as well as having the wheelchair in stock.

While the process was more difficult than we anticipated, and after exploring even global vendors, I am delighted to share that we have found the perfect chair for him from a local vendor in Colombia. The chair is an automatic chair, which will allow him to move by himself by using the wheelchair's joy stick and not have to push himself around with his feet as he does today. We could not be more excited!

This initiative is now more time pressing as his current chair is starting to generate physical issues to him (like blisters, and bruising) given the age of his current wheelchair.

I thank you for your kindness, and patience through this journey with me, and I'm excited to continue working towards the goal of getting Alex a wheelchair that will open a world of opportunities for him.

Thank you for supporting this initiative, and thank you for your kindness. I'm a true believer that we may not be able to change the whole world, but we can definitely change SOMEONE's world.

Thank you.
Maria

Hi there,

I am Maria, founder of Bonanza, a Charity Project, which aims to support charity causes where I can have a direct and tangible impact.

I have started a tradition of doing a yearly project during Christmas, to bring hope and joy to someone in need. This time, the selected project is a new wheelchair for Alex!

At just 18 years of age, Alex is an inspiration to all who know him. Despite facing mobility constraints due to his Dermatomyositis, his spirit and determination never wane. However, to continue attending school, exploring the outdoors, and enjoying life, he needs a wheelchair that can keep up with his active lifestyle. He is cared for by the foundation: Proyecto Union, based in Bogota Colombia since Alex was 13 years old.

The wheelchair that Alex currently uses is no longer suited to his needs. It's worn out and no longer provides the support and mobility that he requires. A new wheelchair will not only provide him with the comfort he deserves, but will also grant him the freedom to move independently and safely.

The goal is to raise 900 EUR to cover the costs of his new wheelchair, and to bring him a bit of join this holiday season!

How can you help?
Donate! Any amount you can give will truly help and will go directly towards the purchase of Alex' new wheelchair. Donations can be made in EUR, USD, or any other currency.

Support! Leave a message of support for Alex. Your words will mean the world to him and will continue to feed his resilience and hope.

Share! Spread the word by sharing Alex' story and this GoFundMe page on social media, using the hashtag #wheels4Alex.

Let's light up Alex world with the gift of Mobility!

With love,
M.
