It is a soul project, through which we try to bring a ray of light in the lives of these suffering children, of their parents, who are permanently with them in the hospital and, last but not least, of the medical staff who take care of them. Because, it is said, art heals, art is perfection, it is a dream, it is a story, for mind and soul, and when it is addressed to people in great suffering, it can become a ray of hope ", he declared Eduard Uzunov, the initiator of the project.

"
The establishment of this center significantly reduces the risk of infections for these extremely sensitive little ones and also offers psychological comfort to children who, after spending months in hospita.
Supporting these children has become part of our lives in the last 10 years we have been volunteering for pediatric hospitals. A spiritual connection was created between us and the medical staff and we tried every time it was necessary to be present and to do everything we could to save a life, so that parents could focus as much as possible for the care of their children ", said Nicoleta Stoenescu, president of the Association" Wings to Life ".
In her turn, the president of ASAF, Adina Rențea, opened her soul for this project: "We started in this approach, convinced that" art gives wings, not crutches ", as the great Victor Hugo said, and we will succeed by collecting works of art donated by famous artists, to bring relief, comfort and hope to the mind, body and soul. ”Art in the form of painting, writing or music is known as the greatest gift that can be given to humanity due to its healing properties on emotions and suffering. The artists know this and immediately resonated with the project initiated by the businessman Eduard Uzunov, a lover of art and beauty! ”.
