The Humanitarian Foundation BUDI HUMAN – Aleksandar Šapić

is raising funds for Vladica Jaćimović (1992).

Vladica was diagnosed with acute transverse myelitis, which subsequently led to severe weakness of the extremities and paraplegia. His diagnoses include: G82.1 – Spastic paraplegia; G37.3 – Acute transverse myelitis in demyelinating disease of the central nervous system.

Due to progressive weakness and loss of motor functions, he was treated at Zemun Clinical Hospital Center and subsequently referred for rehabilitation. During his treatment, he underwent corticosteroid therapy, therapeutic plasma exchange, and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.

Following rehabilitation, some functional improvement was achieved, but Vladica continues to experience significant spasticity and weakness in his lower extremities. He has increased muscle tone, difficulty moving his legs, and severe bilateral spastic paraparesis. He uses a wheelchair for mobility and requires assistance from another person for transfers and certain activities of daily living. Vladica also has impaired bladder function and uses a permanent urinary catheter. During 2026, he also experienced urological complications for which he was examined and hospitalized.

In order to continue his treatment and rehabilitation and work toward achieving the greatest possible degree of independence, Vladica needs financial support for robotic neurorehabilitation, physical therapy, specialist medical examinations, laboratory tests, orthopedic aids, and travel expenses.

Let us stand by Vladica. Together, we can help him get back on his feet. Let’s be humane!

Help Vladica!
