András (14 year old, Budapest)

Well, this is what a real surprise looks like. When András opened the door to us it was only his good upbringing which prevented him from asking us: “Who are you looking for?”.

Only two hours previously he had been discharged from hospital then, not much later, three unknown women were looking for him...
His mother was so good at keeping a secret that she hid the unassembled bicycle in the bedroom to make sure that he would not discover it. We were all together when the door was opened and, just like at Christmas, the young man could not hide his surprise and joy. He inspected the bicycle from all angles and could hardly wait to ride it and go exploring.

Before he could do anything, we bombarded him and his mother with questions about his recovery, his school and his plans for the future.

Hardly had we left than he started his test ride around the neighbourhood. No problem with that provided that the doctor does not know about it!

We wish you a fast recovery, András, and many happy and memorable hours on your new bicycle.

Many thanks to the colleagues of BWSP Gobert and Partners Law Office that they helped make András’ wish come true. Many thanks as well to Emma Edes-Gobert and Tímea Kásler who represented the sponsoring law firm.
