Daniel Mădălin Răduță

We finally have an official estimate of the costs implied by the transplant in a medical clinic from Milano, which is the first one on the list of the possible destinations: 110 000 €!
Unfortunately, it doesn’t include the costs of the treatment of the eventual complications or of the additional necessary treatments. It would be rather difficult, because I have to run additional medical tests before deciding which donor is the best solution for me: my partially compatible brother or somebody from the international data bases. The most suitable treatments for my case are also rather difficult to estimate now. This is why the costs of the transplant could raise up to 150 000 €.
However, as soon as this amount of money is advanced to the clinic they are waiting for me!

A Tuesday morning. A little burdened. Madalin couldn’t start the new treatment cure yesterday. He has some really stubborn platelets. We open our e-mails and here’s what we find

…with this message:

“My daughter is 6 and a half years old. She saw me drawing a fairy yesterday. And she asked me for who it was. Then she wanted to know more. And in the end she made this drawing. “translated”, it’s about a boy and a girl who love each other and will forever love each other. And there are lots of hearts there, in the trees, in their hands, in the sun ”

There’s nothing more I can add. Actually there is one thing: I wish that our little boy, when he’s 6 and a half years old, will be able to draw mommy and daddy.

Thank you, Petra!

I just visited irongate’s site. Not for the first time. I’ve opened it many time this week. This time, though, something popped out. Above the banner that supports Madalin, there’s a picture that reads: opening gates. That is what I felt all this week. There’s no words for me to thank those who support our cause.

Tomorrow we have to go to the hospital. We hope that all blood indicators will be within normal range, and Madalin will be able to start a new phase of the treatment. But, believe me, we will go with more motivation and hope. Encouraged by gestures like the one of Mile Carpenisat, by Cristina Barzavan’s words, by this extraordinary campaign that our friends, the fairies, and all of you, made possible. I know there are many of you, and please forgive me for no nominating all of you, but I do think about you and I pray first of all for your health.

The word takes on new meaning when people I have never met rally for a person they don’t even know:

The media campaign took off on Monday. And it has more impact than I have ever imagined. I will risk thanking first of all to the Fairies, though there are many other people involved who deserve to be mentioned. I hope they don’t mind. There will be a time when I’ll settle down and make a list.

I received so many encouragements, offers to help of all kinds, and I can only be optimistic when so many people are close to me. I am confident that we can overcome all obstacles and problems.

Because there are still problems to solve and things to do

• It looks like it’s not that easy to pay through PayPal. I will figure it out today.
• It’s very difficult to obtain the short telephone numbers for SMS donation from the operators. Aside the fact that large companies move slowly, it looks like there are no short numbers available.
• I was promised that the foundation I will work with will have everything ready to receive donation from companies. Soon I will upload the form and all the necessary details.
• I’ve made the last (I hope!) trip to the bank, to make sure everything is set for international money transfer.

Now it’s time to relax, because on Monday I start a new chemo session. Maybe the last before the transplant…

Once again… THANK YOU!
