We approach Christmas I believe this story will serve a bit 'at all to reflect on our world let's take a moment and' help Vlad return a smile to those who have 'our own luck.
Below is the text in Italian from the site of oe4vie ..!

It happened, unfortunately, not what you expect, Vlad, 4K9W, in a very difficult situation personally.
Certainly many DXers do not know who Vlad, I have known him for more than 20 years, is blocked by more than 30 years in bed. Because of this fact he has to constantly heal.
Vlad's mother, who until now had taken care of him, they are 4 weeks is dead. Now Vlad is just no other relatives. Currently, his friends and acquaintances of the district support it. However, it is necessary to find a nanny for him. If this is not possible the state will be forced to bring Vlad to a home for severely disabled people's care minimal.
Vlad, with unbeatable optimism, rejoicing for life and would enjoy to stay at his house, with its activity of OM (almost daily QRV on CW and SSB as well as in PSK and RTTY), Amateur Radio by talking to friends, participating in contests and Tenedos contact with the Internet. Vlad has a huge collection of QSL.
The log is in electronic form only 164,000 QSOs, since the early 90s.
the past few days his friends have tried to understand what it would cost her care. The result is scary, in Baku and in neighboring areas, the cost would be $ 500 - $ 800 each month. To complicate the matter, Vlad lives approximately 30 km from the center of town. However, the disability pension (disability to complete) is only $ 140 with which to live (food, clothing, electricity and everything you need).
Vlad, last week, has agreed with a woman who lives near him and to assist it will receive about $ 350.
Hopefully we can take a long time.
The problem is that Vlad needs constant care and the costs pile up every month. In principle one could say that this is not of concern. 20 Amateur Radio would be sufficient if you are to pay every month $ 20 each. I'll try to help as I can, I have done for so many years, but $ 350 every month is too much even for me. For
4K9W Vlad, I appeal to all those who have care about his situation, to support this project which will keep him active as a ham radio operator.
The most important project is to help his constant care. The organization helps Vlad
donate money directly to those who care. So, you ensure that the aid will be used for its health.
I fear that we do not hear soon 4K9W in the air without such support, and without that support he will soon loosen its interest in life, even if his life during the last 30 was not better. For his strength of will want to live.
