Surgeries and Medical Care for Moldovan Children

When our organization was just establishing, a little girl became one of our first patients. Mihaela L., a 3-years-old diagnosed with eye cancer, was travelling to Germany every 3-4 months and was in dire need of the financial support. Her parents barely kept up with the expenses and their money was depleted at some point. Although we have not had a lot of funds at the beginning, we helped them as we could.

Three years later, Mihaela needed our help again. She developed cataract and had to go through two urgent surgeries that cost $1,000 each. Thanks to your support, we had money accumulated on our account and we used it towards Mihaela's operation. The first surgery was done in June and the second followed in July this year. The surgeries went well. Mihaela is waiting for new glasses and preparing for the school now.

Before the operation, Mihaela could not see in the dark. Now, she feels confident and is not afraid of darkness. We only wish that darkness never falls on her again. Once more, we thank you for your amazing contribution! Your help means light and brightness in these children’s lives.

Dear friends, thank you for your ongoing commitment. With your support, we continue changing lives of children in Moldova. In February through April, you donated $2,875 and we were able to assist a few children, including Sebastian S., Kirill N., Nikita V. and Vanya S. The biggest amount of your donation went to Dina C., a 2-year-old with congenital heart defect.

Dina had her first heart surgery when she was only 5 months old. The surgery was too exhausting and brought no results. Dina spent months in recovery. She could not gain weight and developed breathing problems. No help was on the way and Dina’s parents started looking for alternatives abroad. They found a hospital in Germany that agreed to operate their daughter. The 12-hour surgery in Berlin transformed the girl: she began developing and eating well, the breathing problems were gone. A warming smile and rose cheeks reappeared on Dina's face.

In June, Dina is traveling to Germany for a follow up operation and we will be transferring a prepayment to the German hospital. We hope that this operation will be the last one in Dina’s life.

Thank you for your care and your generous gifts. The smiles on children’s faces and reassuring hope in hearts of their parents are the best appreciation for our collective efforts.
