Veliaj: Revenues for children receiving services in the Oncology Department /

The Municipality of Tirana this year-end has decided to be close to the children who receive services in the oncology ward at the University Hospital Center "Mother Teresa". Through an event organized by young activists who have joined this cause, Santa's Drift, where a car race is planned on December 18 and a festive concert on December 19 with successful singers in "Mother Teresa" Square in the capital aims to raise awareness in raising the income that will come to the aid of families of children who can not celebrate the holidays together.

"It is an extraordinary pleasure to be here in the Municipality of Tirana with a team of super girls and boys to organize what is called Santa's Drift, this time for a cause. We will use the whole "Mother Teresa" square. Greta has been a former tumor patient, so she has come out with an extraordinary battle, but there are also many young people and children who are still in this battle, so together with Era, a group of super artists, we will have a little sport , a little music, but a fantastic opportunity to raise some funds, "said Veliaj, who welcomed today in his office some of the organizers of Santa's Drift, including the much-loved singer for the public, Era Rusi.

"We as the Municipality of Tirana will do our part and give everyone a bank account where they can contribute, but we would like those children who are at the Oncology and who have expenses - are not only the costs of treatment, but also the costs of the hospital stay, the costs incurred by the parents, the houses they have to rent, the consultations they have to make maybe to other doctors abroad to get a second or third opinion, so who has suffered knows how that bill goes, despite the fact that basic services are free, as you always worry about where it's best and of course the bill goes up. We want that at the end of the year, not only to contribute to this bill and through sports, but also through art to have an opportunity to allocate some funds for these families, "added the mayor.

“Faleminderit për kontributin nga Bashkia. Jam e bindur që do na bashkohen shumë njerëz për të gjithë këtë kauzë të madhe që kanë fëmijët që kurohen dhe kanë një problem kaq të madh shëndetësor. E kam provuar vetë dhe e di shumë mirë se ç’do të thotë të jesh aty për festa, të detyrohesh të kalosh Krishtlindjet dhe Vitin e Ri vetëm, brenda katër mureve, me ilaçe, me dhimbje, me temperaturë. Uroj që gjithë njerëzit të na bashkohen dhe të na ndihmojnë me aq sa të kenë mundësi sikur dhe me prezencën e tyre,” u shpreh Greta Dedaj, organizatore e Santa’s Drift.

"I am very happy to be part of this activity, but even happier that many artists have joined us in this initiative and I am sure that other people will join and help raise as much money as possible, because no one should be only in this year. No child should be alone and we should help everyone to feel the warmth and feel of the holiday atmosphere. We emphasize that it is without a ticket. "People come with full will, with full desire to bring what they want and how much they want," said the famous singer Era Rusi.
