Ionut and his brother, Alex, came
to live with us immediately after their mother passed away. Their father was
unable to care for his children due to health issues and we welcomed them into
our family, rejoicing to see two brothers able to live together. Ionut assumed
his position as a big brother from the very beginning, even though he was
physically smaller than his younger brother due to growth and developmental
issues. Together, they have grown up under our eyes to become young men, ready
to embrace independent life.
During the thirteen years that Ionut
stayed at Hand of Help, we had the opportunity to sow into him the love of
Christ. He decided not to pursue higher education and left the orphanage in
search for work, ready to start independent life. He is currently living with
his father and works at a nearby store.
We thank you for being close to
our children and giving them a chance at a future. It is only by God's grace
that we are able to continue this work and we pray that every seed planted brings
forth fruit in His time.
