Alberto, a boy of 11 year-old resident of Denia, has got a car adapted thanks to the solidarity of the Marina Alta region. Alberto can already travel with his wheelchair with his family.
Alberto suffers Pelizaeus Merzbacher, A so-called "rare diseases", which was diagnosed with just one year of life. Since then, the family has not stopped Alberto strive for a better quality of life for your child. And thanks to the solidarity of different regional groups, which have shown interest in his case, has managed to make one of the dreams and needs of Alberto and his family.
The solidarity campaign began three years ago with collecting plastic caps to raise money to finance the purchase of a vehicle adapted, whose price amounted to 30.000 euros. This initiative counted with the collaboration of the company Segaria Plast, Town hall Denia and UrbaserWhich he plugs stored and transferred to the company. With this joint collection of caps, they managed to raise 3.000 euros, but it was not enough to purchase the vehicle.
Moreover, with the help of her friend Teresa Rawlinson, he was launched another charity campaign. He searched through the Facebook group Connect Javea a rental house in the neighboring municipality to rest a few days with his family. What was intended at the time, Jessica Romero, mother of Alberto, was to get a more affordable vacation rental, and finally got what was that four people would selflessly give in their homes for a few days off with his family.
From there and after having that first contact with the group, many were the people who were interested in the story of Alberto and contributed financially to the family. I also contacted them non-profit organization Grant a Wish, Which helps families with special needs. In this way and thanks to the collaboration of all these collective and anonymous people, Jessica and her family were able to fund the entire vehicle adapted.
Now that the acquisition of the vehicle is a reality, Alberto's mother, thanked, on behalf of the whole family, collaboration of people and organizations that have made this possible, such as: Connect Javea, Grant a Wish, The Original Charity Shop Jávea, The Secure StorageLark Erikson and his companions, Lynn Capon and Friends of Oliva; Lions Teulada and Moraira; Albertos fundIan, Hannah and Karl. Jessica especially wanted to highlight the collaboration of two women, Aileen and BJ, thanks to the challenge of climbing to the Mirador de Jávea got 3.000 euros for the cause.
All of them, along with the sale of the old family vehicle, for which they gave 8.000 euros, have made it possible from now Alberto mobility much easier.
