Football club Atletik Burgas has started a fundraiser for Konstantin Todorov, known as Bat Kotse. He needs urgent hip replacement surgery.
The operation needs a lot of money. On Monday, 9 November, the club appealed to its fans and the whole sports community for help.
Todorov also asked friends and fellow townspeople for help. He said he was sorry to ask for money, and that any help, even a small gift, matters to him. "Even small support means a huge amount to me and will give me hope to get through this hard time," he said. He thanked everyone who will donate, share the appeal or back it with a kind word, and added: "So that I can walk again!"
Atletik Burgas says the fundraiser will help Todorov live a full life again, and every donation counts. The club says sport is about both competition and community, and that the community should stand by people in hard times. It thanks in advance everyone who gives money, shares the appeal or says a kind word.
Donations can be paid into a bank account held by Konstantin Todorov, IBAN BG65FINV91501016908544.
