FRÓJIMO PRÓXIMO HISTORY
In 1995 a group of volunteers starts visiting disabled people in a residence located in Leganés (Madrid). In 2001 the Foundation was created based on the increasing demand of help due to a lack of resources provided to disabled people from the public administration and Social Security. In 2018 they covered more than 95 disable peoble aid, amounting around 140,000 eur. In 2019 they foresee a demand increment over the 25% All its aid comes from private contributors. No public subventions granted.
WHY ITS ASSISTANCE IS “KEY”?
Because there is a limited coverage by Social Security to wheelchairs, glasses, prosthesis, orthotics, cochlear implants, visual or hearing devices, oral treatments, housing adaptation … and so on.
Its activity is possible thanks to private economic contributions and the collaboration of sensitive people and institutions aware of the effort that each one can make so that people with disabilities have a better life.
