Nadia Petronela and Liviu Petru (twins) were born in 2009 to their single mother
and an unknown father. In August 2012, their mother left abroad, leaving the
twins in their aunt's care. Their agreement was that the mother was to
financially support the children and permanently keep in touch with them. This
very understanding was communicated to the local authorities.
However, once departed from Romania, the mother never contacted
her children or her sister and never sent money or any other type of help. Her
sister, unemployed, living in a modest house consisting of two rooms, without
electricity or wood for warming the place, was forced to ask the Child
Protection Services for their help.
Soon afterwards, Hand of Help was contacted and we decided to take
the twins into our care. The mother showed no interest whatsoever in keeping
her relationship with the twins and agreed to Petru and Nadia becoming a part
of our orphanage. The twins have another sister currently living in a different
town with a relative who was able to take her into foster care.
Petrisor (as we call him) is always full of energy and loves to
play with the other children at the orphanage. We are overjoyed to watch him
share stories from school or explain the rules of a game to his friends before
playing together. When he is not inside playing with his toy cars, he enjoys
running around outside.
Please keep Petru and his sister, Nadia, in your prayers. We
know that our Lord can completely heal and restore their wounded hearts. Even
though they had to face numerous obstacles at such an early age, they will
always find comfort and protection in the arms of our Savior.
Thank you for your faithfulness and for helping us offer a
family to children like Petrisor and Nadia who otherwise had no one else to take care of
them.
