Why do I donate - my time, skills, and funds? Because I have deep-seated desire for social justice and because I can. I long to live in a fairer world where no one is shunned or "othered' and everyone is given ample opportunity to succeed or become their best self.

I first encountered Victoria in late 2013 when she cajoled me into attending a presentation of 200 wheelchairs, impressively I though. Over the next three years I was to witness Victoria launched her campaign against some of the social injustice that exist in Moldova. I felt honoured to be small part of this giant work - running marathons, donating and supporting in any way I could.

I love helping children less able, I love to see the happy faces of whose who benefit of MAD-Aid. I witness their transformation for many years now, starting in MAD-Aid as private and corporate donor and becoming a trustee.

Martin Luther King said - "I have a Dream", Victoria came to us and said "I have a dream with a Plan", and surely she did and since then never stopped supporting those kinds in Moldova. We are honoured to be part of it.

I had a pleasure of meeting Victoria in 2015, and it soon became clear to me that I was dealing with a force of nature. Here is someone, I thought, who embodies all that's best into humanity. She surely can breathe life into her vision. Me and my wife Barbara have supported MAD-Aid from the day Victoria told us about it. Since then we become ambassadors for every great project the charity does and brought in many friends from the USA to Moldova.
