        My name is Burungiu Madalina and I am from Tulcea. My story began even before I was born. I could not wait 9 months before seeing the light of the day, to enjoy life…Therefore, I was prematurely born, at only 7 months…Hardly had I opened my eyes and looked around….that I fell into a sea of endless troubles that are still guiding my daily steps… Being born at only 7 months, my lungs were too small to normally oxygenate my brains, so even from my first moments of life I have suffered from malfunctions of the nervous system: I did not have any balance, I could not sit down and when I was one year old I could not hold my head. Since I was very young I have been taken to lots of doctors by my parents, I have gone to so many hospitals and cure centers that I lost track of it. I made gymnastics for years on end, hoping that I would have at least a small chance to become a normal human being, to enjoy life, to run, to smile from my heart, to live! But with no result. When I grew up, I become aware of the illness I was suffering from: spastic diplegia.

        Since I was a little child, I have not been able to walk alone, as I do not have any balance and my only alternative is the walking frame - that helps me walk through the house - and the wheel chair I go out with. Although since I was young I have been used to living like that, i.e. a restricted life, I have always been optimistic, I have wanted to walk by myself and have thought that at a certain moment the sun will rise on my street, too..

        So, with these thoughts and dreams…I turned 27 years old and I am still hoping that there will be a chance for me, even a small one. Now there is a chance for me and I wish I could use it…the first chance offered to me in 27 years of sufferings. I have recently found out that there is a transplant with olfactory stem cells. I was happy for the moment, but many problems came after that. The transplant can be done only in China, at a famous clinic; I contacted them and they scheduled me on the 10th of March 2009. In order to go there I need 20 000 euros. But the sum is too high for me, for my parents’ financial resources who would do anything to make me happy and offer me this chance, but unfortunately they do not have this possibility. I have thought to ask for your help in order to be able to go to China, hoping that the operation will help me become a normal human being, be able to run, dance, enjoy life. I kindly ask you from my heart to help me as you can to make this dream come true, a dream that I have had since I was a child and an adolescent and which today is more burning than ever.

I thank you and, with the hope that some day I will enjoy life to the full.
I embrace you dearly, Burungiu Madalina.
