Five months after he ripped this initiative, we have collected more than two tons of plugs that are currently going to help a child suffering from leukodystrophy 8 years from birth. The treatment consists in the implantation need growth hormone to achieve significant progress, but with a cost of 2.000 euros monthly family is increasingly difficult to pull it off.

Plugs collection continues to help him and other children, and can be deposited at the following locations:

• Social services
