[September 5, 2022 Update] Thank you for every donation that brought us closer to Florentina’s dream: to own her own place, for her and her 3 children! Following the draw that took place on August 31, 2022, in the presence of a public notary, Ira P. was designated the winner of David Popovici’s champion equipment. Ira is from Bucharest and has 2 boys who themselves swim from a young age. Ira made a donation of 50 lei for Florentina, along with thousands of other donors who donated between August 1-26 to do good. Together, with the invaluable support offered by David, we managed to raise over 40,000 of euros for a house and a Home!
“I’m super, super happy! It’s like getting a piece of history, because David has been, and is doing, wonders for the Romanian sport! I donated so that Florentina could give her children a better life and I sincerely hope that they will be healthy and happy together. Now I think that I also contributed a bit to her joy and got an incredible amount of joy back! Thank you!”, Ira told us.
The joy of having raised the amount needed to complete the former champion’s house is as big as the responsibility we have! Because of that, we are already building, brick by brick, Florentina’s house. With the help of David Popovici and almost 3,000 donations, the house is growing – and so are Florentina’s hopes for a safe life with her children.
Thank you, David Popovici! Thank you, everyone!
[August 31, 2022 Update] Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! With your help and that of almost 3,000 other donors, we have raised 223.135 Lei!

Florentina’s children need your help to stay close to their mother!
Florentina is currently fighting a terrible disease, at only 29 years old. She is the mother of three children between the ages of 4 and 8, and currently she has nowhere to live with her daughter and two boys, in the context of a difficult family situation. She went through chemotherapy and is fighting for her life, just like she did since she was little.
For them, David has joined Hope and Homes for Children and is appealing for donations at https://hhc.galantom.ro/p/davidpopovici, so that we can finish the construction of Florentina’s house, which we started this year in spring, in her native village in Suceava county.
