A community of people with beautiful souls who understood that only by getting involved we can offer a chance at a normal life for children with autism. In Romania, over 30 000 children are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, we can not help everyone but everyone can help someone and together we can produce real change, this is our belief. The road to normalcy for children with autism can only continue with the support of each of us and the fact that we find ourselves today at the fourth edition of The Generosity Trophy, gives me hope that we will succeed in being there for hundreds of other families from here on" said Daniela Bololoi, Help Autism Association President.
