I donated to the Endoscopy Unit of Floreasca Hospital because I was impressed with the team, especially with professor Constantinescu. They are professional, working tirelessly, and the most remarkable thing I saw is that they treat everybody the same. It doesn’t matter if you’re young, old, from the countryside or a well-established person, they give their best to assist everybody, trying to serve and help as many people as possible. Even though it is a public wing of a state hospital, they work like a private one.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to sustain the activity for the Cantacuzino Institute, I donated financially in order to support acquiring medical equipment that benefits the Viral Respiratory Invections’ Laboratory.

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to make a donation and support “Asociatia Taxi Gratis” because it is an example that each of us has the power to bring a change for the better in society, we can help those in difficulty. Alex Bobes developed this project with his own resources, transporting doctors and medical staff free of charge between home and hospital, in increased safety conditions.

Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that disrupts the growth of cells in the nervous system, causing tumours to form on nerve tissue. The Association of Hope and Support for Neurofibromatosis Patients comes to the aid of patients with this genetic disease with doctor’s recommendations, donations, up-to-the-minute information for this disease, and moral support.

I supported the publishing of the “Portrete” magazine. It’s a collaboration between the P.A.V.E.L. Association, the Oncological Institute of Bucharest, and the Fundeni Clinical Institute. It offers a glimpse into the harsh life of children that suffer from cancers, leukaemia, and severe anaemias. The magazine supports social and institutional cohesion and the rights of paediatric cancer patients, and promotes social responsibility and empathy. It also promotes programs of school continuation for the children that unfortunately cannot join their colleagues in the classrooms.

Every year I dedicate myself to supporting the needs of several challenged families. With the help of an NGO, I receive “Christmas letters” from the kids, and it’s my joy to fulfill their wishes. It’s a great feeling to know that I can bring a smile to these kids and to enjoy the wonderful time of Christmas! “

I took over some of the needs packages of children hospitalized at the Oncological Institute in Bucharest, as follows: – we have provided financial support to children with oncological diagnosis, in palliation, for individualized and innovative treatments abroad (Italy, Germany), – I bought for them chemotherapy rooms, eye prostheses for children with eye discharges following retinoblastomas, orthopedic prostheses for those with osteosarcomas, – I fully equipped and offered backpacks to the patient students, enrolled in the Hospital School at IOB, – we offered new household appliances to families who have a child with a cancer diagnosis, – I financially supported families with children with children, – I have supported and continue to support financially (since 2015), the publication of the magazine Portraits, which publishes the literary creations of children hospitalized in Pediatric Oncology, a magazine distributed free of charge.

I was able to help a family that had problems with their only son’s congenital hearing loss. I provided them support, not only by contributing to the buying of the cochlear implant but also with accommodation and transport or medical and imaging appointments.
