Alexandru became a part of our family in 2015. Born in 2009 in a family known in the community for the abusive behavior of the parents, Alexandru had witnessed numerous times when the local authorities were at his door, questioning his parents on the constant conflicts, alcohol drinking, long periods of time spent away from the children and total neglect of their parental duties. His father refused to work the land around the house in order to obtain some financial resources, while his mother was impassible at her children's basic needs.  

As no close relatives willing to take Alexandru were found, Hand of Help became his new family.

When he moved to our center, the pain and suffering in his eyes were evident; Alexandru was eager to share his story with everybody, happy to have finally found people who would give him the opportunity and listen.

Alexandru is passionate about cooking. A family in a nearby city has become involved in his life during one of our center's projects, where families from around the city are invited to meet and spend time with our children.

Alexandru is now spending his school breaks with them and learning a lot from them. As the wife works in the restaurant business and organizes many food festivals, Alexandru often helps her and progresses not only in his cooking skills but also in his business skills.

He would like to attend a cooking school and continue his passion as a professional.

Alexandru received a chance at a new, changed life and we thank you for being a hand of help for him. Please keep him in your prayers and may our Father amply bless your faithfulness!
