WE DID IT!
We have successfully collected the 1,500€ for Tiziano's wheelchair. We are now in contact with the chair builder, who has already taken Tiziano's measurements and has officially started the process. It is estimated that the customized wheelchair will be ready and delivered the first weeks of October.
Stay tuned for more updates and the final video!

Who is Tiziano?
Meet Tiziano García, a 17-year-old with a big dream: to become Argentina’s best Paralympic basketball player and one day play in Europe. Tiziano’s determination and passion for the sport are undeniable. He trains tirelessly, pushing himself every day to get closer to his goal. But there’s one thing standing in his way: his wheelchair.
Tiziano’s story of perseverance and resilience has deeply touched our hearts, and we want to help him reach his dream. That’s why we’re excited to announce a special campaign:

Tiziano’s journey:
Tiziano’s journey hasn’t been easy. When he was just six years old, a tragic house fire took both his mother and his legs. To help him heal and stay active, he began playing basketball at school. His teachers quickly saw his natural talent, and with their encouragement, he started training seriously. Today, he’s a key player for the Almirante Brown team in Argentina.
His hard work and talent caught the attention of the Argentinian National Youth Paralympic Basketball Team, and he’s since played in national and international tournaments. His most recent achievement? Winning the Panamerican Games 2023 in Colombia with his team.
Why a new wheelchair matters:
Right now, Tiziano plays with a wheelchair donated by his town hall. While it’s good enough for practice, it’s not ideal for a full-time athlete like him. A custom-built wheelchair will allow Tiziano to play at his best, helping him to professionalize and chase his dream of becoming Argentina’s top player and, one day, playing in Europe.
Tiziano’s determination and courage have inspired everyone here at Sweets and Smiles and Snack Pilot, and we want to help him reach his sweet dream.
