On May 4th, 2020, in Straseni, a road traffic accident involving two vehicles occurred. Valeriu, aged 31, was seriously injured. As a result of the accident, he was diagnosed with a TH12 vertebral fracture IIIrd degree, which caused lower paraplegia, a complex sensory syndrome at the D12 level bilaterally with impairment of deep sphincter sensitivity, retention of stool and urine, bilateral lung contusion, and cervical contusion.
He underwent a complex surgery where a transpedicular spinal fixation system was installed, but the compressed vertebral fracture continues to cause unbearable pain and forces him to stay bedridden. After numerous agonizing procedures, it was concluded that a surgery in Germany could save him. However, the cost of the surgery is beyond our means.
It is a very large amount for our family, but it is very much needed. With desperation, the family is asking for help to give Valeriu a chance at a life without pain and agony. The young man has two children to raise and sincerely hopes to be heard and helped.
