After losing my mother following years of immobilization and difficult hospital visits, I founded Asociatia Taxi Gratis in 2013 in her memory. What started as a personal mission has grown into a vital community service.
The NGO covers over 30,000 kilometers per year and assists around 400 people annually. Starting with my personal sedan, I later upgraded to a specially adapted minibus with a ramp for people with disabilities.
When COVID-19 hit, I expanded our mission to directly support healthcare workers in Bucharest, equipping vehicles with protective panels for safe transportation between homes and hospitals.
