«We are glad that during the first days of the campaign we have collected slightly more than half of the sum that is necessary to buy a walking robot,» Junior Warrant Officer Rasmus Penno from the Wounded Warriors Association said.
At least 80,000 euros is needed to finance the purchase of the piece of equipment for the Haapsalu Neurological Rehabilitation Center (HNRC) necessary to provide robot-assisted walking therapy to improve patients' ability to walk after brain and spinal cord injuries.
Everyone can make a donation by buying a blue cornflower badge in stores, making a money transfer online or calling the number 900 2304.
The campaign that started on April 9 will run until May 3.
