Questions and Answers

Many people called me and told me about the Form 112. I will repeat Dan Santimbreanu’s words: “this form is out of discussion because the surgery is being done in Romania, even if there are very few chances to recover without having suffered permanent collateral damages”.

Laura’s diagnosis, acoustic neurinom, is a benign tumour that can be operated, still the surgical intervention requires scrupulous carefulness achievable only with the help of very high advanced medical technology. This technology is not yet to be found in Romanian hospitals. If you don’t have the money to go abroad where you have the hope of no bad consequences, then in Romania you get to choose between death and mutilation. I think the difference between the costs is a proof: 35 000€ in Germany against 7 000€ in Romania.

When does she need the money and how much has she gathered until now are the most frequently asked questions. She needs the money as soon as possible because the tumour is quite big and the surgery cannot be postponed, especially now when Laura is feeling worse and worse every day. The surgery should be done around middle February. …I will make a confession that will probably grieve her. Yet I hope more people will understand her situation and will help her: Laura speaks very loudly, unusually loudly. When reading about the symptoms of the illness you may say that her hearing is very damaged.

In the accounts there is nothing but her children’s welfare. Today, though she vas very happy because she received a little money from some relatives, neighbours, known and unknown people. Since I began to make her story public she gathered about 6000 lei (about 1500€). It is quite much, but comparing with the sum she needs it is very little.
In conclusion, Laura doesn’t have the money for the operation to be performed not even in Romania.

In one of the days Laura received a comment in which she was asked to give her permission to publish her story on two sites. We don’t know that person, but thank you very much:

Cristina is a biology teacher, she throws you in the fighting ring and knows how to keep you in. Today we went at the high school she teaches and we gathered a little money, constantly shaking.

Then I ran at the Theatre with the same purpose, ask “Help for Laura”. A premiere was played with the desk closed. People from the high society of the town and not only, were there. With the dearest from all of them, Mircea Dinescu, I had a short talk and I remembered his words “(…) my wings still bear me/ though I touch ground almost with my knees”. I gathered some money here too, not with the same frame of mind as at school, it was harder.

I think the week-end will be the moment to strike the first balance.

FIGHTING AGAINST ILLNESS

A new day of fight started like this…

13 Tuesday, lucky day

Even though I contacted Adrian Bidasca quite early in the morning, he gave his acceptance to stick the poster with “Help for Laura” in Pita supermarkets.

An employee from Apetrans got for me the acceptance of Petru Apetrei- manager director.
Georgeta Pogurschi, the director of Electrocontact High school and Viorel Grigoras (RVG) were favourable to posting the announces; the doors of other transporters were open too: Priscom and the city bus terminal.

I felt people empathising with me and this gave me courage and hope. THANK YOU!
It was a hard day, full of emotions and running. I was lucky. God help us.
