Fundraising for a Good Cause

Many of you know that Casa Ronald McDonald Barcelona is near and dear to our hearts, and the majority of our fundraising efforts go towards supporting them. Recently, it has come to our attention that one of the residents in the Casa, Judith, needs a bit of extra help. She just turned 18 and she is in desperate need of a new wheelchair.
​
We very much want to help her get her new wheelchair, so we'll be focusing our efforts on helping her out. (Read a letter from Judith below!)

Meet Judith

My name is Judith, I'm 18 years old and I'm from Isla Cristina (Huelva). I suffer from Spina bifida and Hydrocephalus, and for health reasons right now I am in Barcelona because I need to have a number of surgical procedures.

At this moment I have a wheelchair that I have outgrown. It is now much too small for me; it is preventing my wounds from healing and is painful to use. I need to buy a new one and it will cost my family € 7,500.

A Catalan foundation will help me with part of the amount, but I still need €5,500 and my family cannot assume the expense, nor do I have any state assistance for it.

As you can imagine, it is not luxury, but a necessity. Any help you could give me, or if you know someone who can, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your support.

Un beso fuerte y un abrazo,

Judith
