The operation was performed at Monza Hospital, in Bucharest, and Cosmin began to recover with the hope that it will return to the football field.
“Cosmin showed us that he is not just a child yet, but a symbol of courage and power to face the unknown with a hopeful heart in the struggle for his life.
In these difficult times I am firmly convinced that every thought and every prayer matters, I know it is essential that he knows us with him, with his family, giving them unconditional support in everything he needs to pass this hard test of life.
Let us not forget that when we are many when we unite our thoughts and send positive energy, every step forward, Every word of encouragement can make the difference on the way to healing.
