From Firefighter To Fighter: Robert’s Battle With ALS

Sep 2 2024

Robert Bugeja, a devoted husband to Rita and father of two, dedicated his life to Civil Protection. Known as the ‘Ġojja’ among his firefighter colleagues, Robert found deep satisfaction in his work.

But life took a cruel turn when he was diagnosed with ALS, a condition that gradually stripped away his physical abilities. Despite this, Robert continues to fight, showing up for work and supporting his team as much as he can.

“Imagine going from a life full of activity—gym, work, part-time jobs—to being confined to a wheelchair, unable to move,” Robert shares. The reality hit hard when a simple task like changing a bulb at home became an impossible challenge, leading to the heartbreaking diagnosis of ALS.

Today, Robert resides at DAR Bjorn in Żebbuġ. “The separation is too cruel,” Robert admits during the Marelli program, reflecting on the pain of leaving his home and family. It became impossible for his family to provide the 24-hour care he needs, making the move necessary.

Yet, the bond between Robert and his wife remains unbreakable. “Even when I was just working on something at home, she was always there,” he recalls.

Despite the unimaginable challenges, Robert’s spirit shines brightly. His smile, his positivity, and his unwavering determination to live life fully are truly inspiring.

Every day, his firefighter colleagues come to pick him up, so he can continue to contribute to the work he loves. “I still have one finger left that I can use to press the spacebar and respond,” Robert says, a testament to his unyielding will.

DAR Bjorn has become a crucial part of Robert’s life, offering him the care he needs without restrictive visiting hours, allowing Rita to visit him daily. But DAR Bjorn relies on support from people like you to continue providing this essential care.

On September 22nd, Robert will be with us during the fundraising telethon, lending his strength to the cause. This is your chance to make a difference. Join us in supporting the DAR Bjorn Respite project with your generous donations. Together, we can help ensure that people like Robert receive the care they desperately need.
