Alberto’s mobility fund. Let’s keep him movin movin :-)
Alberto is 9 years old, he has a severe neuro-muscular disease. This year he has been desperately ill and in hospital for two months in Valencia La Fe, for open lung surgery.
He is unable to control his body, has poor muscle tone and very little strength, even unable to control his head. He is fed by machine pump through a tube into his tummy as he lacks strength to swallow and chew. He is wheel chair bound and totally dependent on his mummy.
He desperately needs an adapted car to keep mobile to able to attend school and the therapy sessions and the many specialist appointments in Valencia and Alicante. He is getting heavier and taller and getting him and his very heavy wheelchair in and out of the car has become an almost impossible task.
On one salary and the high costs of his medicines and his special tube milk, of which not all are covered by the social security, his parents barely make ends meet.
Alberto’s amazing mummy, in trying to help him and many others, set up the Ludai Centro de Atention Temprano, in 2008. Ludai is a self referral early attention centre for special needs children in Denia and the Marina Alta area. This work is/ was unpaid non lucrative work. Many children have been helped by Alberto and his mum. She is unable to work due to the demands of caring for Alberto.
Now they need our help.
Our aim is to seek a second hand adapted car for this wonderful sweet boy and to this end I would like to launch Alberto’s mobility fund.
Ways to help: We are collecting plastic bottle tops to exchange at the eco centre for cash. Drop off points include - In Javea: Debbie at Cortado, Sue Faulkner at Lenceria Susan, any of Kim Harrison’s Zumba classes, Laguna Ribs, Luna next to Saladar, The Original Charity Shop, Heaven Boutique and Tarrick at Goldrush. In Moraira: Los Limoneros Hotel.

Lastly we ask you to tell friends and neighbours to join us in helping this lovely boy. Thank you Theresa.
