Fundraisers for Alicja's leg reconstruction

Dear All,

We cannot thank enough all of you who have helped us to raise funds for Alicja’s leg reconstruction treatment at the St. Mary’s Medical Centre in Florida.

It is impossible to list all the names here: this would have to be a never ending list J

However, if you donated towards Alicja’s treatment and if you would like your name or your company name to be listed on our website, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you everyone for your help and support!

We will start our big journey next month, on the 8th of August. Please keep visiting our website and our Facebook profile www.facebook.com/pages/Alicja-CHARGE/208713382478927

We will keep you posted on Alicja’s surgeries, treatment and progress.
