Dear Reader, Dear Supporters!

My name is Sándor Kecskés. I live with SMA, a rare and serious muscle wasting disease. This disease makes it more difficult for me to move and be independent every day, and often even the most basic things present serious obstacles.

I live with my father, who has been my sole carer for many years, as neither my mother nor my grandmothers are still alive.

We have an 18-year-old car that has been a faithful companion, but now, due to its age and the fact that we use it a lot, it is breaking down more and more often. The frequency and high cost of repairs are consuming almost all of our financial resources. 

Our old car is no longer safe or reliable, but for now, it is all we have. 

We absolutely need the car to get to the doctor regularly, for treatments, check-ups and daily errands. In short, it ensures that I can continue to live with my illness. 

I want you to know that I work despite my illness because I believe that as long as I can give to the world, I have a place in it. I am grateful to my employer for giving me a job that I can do from home, but this "only" helps us make ends meet; we cannot afford to buy a car with this income.

That is why I am starting this fundraiser.

My goal is to raise 6 million forints, which would allow me to buy a 4-5-year-old, safe car that can be adapted to my illness, including the conversion.

I know that many people ask for help, but I also know that there are many who want to give. If you are one of those people who want to help, then I can be one of those who gratefully accepts your support.

Please help me – even with a small donation or by sharing this story.

Thank you very much for taking the time to learn about my situation. If you feel moved, please join the donors.

I thank you in advance for your heartfelt support and wish you all the best! Sándor Kecskés

I live with SMA – I'm fundraising for an accessible car. Can you help?

Dear Reader, Dear Supporters!

My name is Sándor Kecskés. I live with a rare, severe muscular atrophy disease, SMA. This disease makes movement and independence more difficult every day – and often even the most basic things pose serious obstacles.

I live with my father, who has been helping me with my everyday life alone for many years, since neither my mother nor my grandmothers are alive anymore.

We have an 18-year-old car, which has been our faithful companion, but now, due to its age and the fact that we use it a lot, it breaks down more and more often. The frequency of services and their high costs consume almost all of our financial resources.

Our old car is no longer safe or reliable – but for now, it is all we have.

We absolutely need the car for regular trips to the doctor, treatments, check-ups, and daily tasks; in short, it ensures my survival in line with my illness.

I would like you to know that I work, despite my illness, because I believe that as long as I can give to the world, I have a place in it. I am grateful to my employer, who employs me in work that can be done at home, but this "only" helps us make a living, we cannot afford to buy a car from this.

That is why I am starting this fundraising campaign now.

My goal: 6 million forints, from which I could buy a 4-5 year old, safe car that can be adapted to my illness, including the conversion.

I know that many people are asking for help, but I know that there are many who would like to give. If you are one of those people who would like to help, then I can now be one of those who gratefully accepts your support.

Please help me – even with a small donation or a share.

Thank you very much for taking the time to learn about my story. If you feel touched by it, please join the donors. I thank you in advance for your heartfelt support, and I wish you all the best! Sándor Kecskés
