MOLDOVA YFC UPDATE - NOVEMBER 2023
We discussed with our team about needs of our children's families. It is two main needs: To help 20 children to buy shoes for the winter period and a family story. It is a little long but really interesting. Hope you will enjoy it!
It is a sensitive and difficult situation for 13-year-old Andreea Lae, who attends the day center in the village of Hăsnășenii Mari, Drochia district. She comes from a dysfunctional family and currently lives with her mother and two younger sisters. They are a socially vulnerable family, with the only source of income being social assistance and support from the local church.
Her mother has been actively involved in the day center at the local church for some time, maintaining cleanliness and assisting the workers there with whatever is needed. This hasn't always been the case. Andreea used to go to the day center, where she was warmly welcomed by the staff, and was able to prepare her lessons, eat, and learn many things about God. This motivated her to invite her mother to church and then to come together to the day center. How beautifully God works in their lives!
Unfortunately Andrea suffers from nasal polyp affects her ability to breathe normally, which can negatively impact her quality of life and health. Unfortunately, limited access to financial resources makes treatment a major challenge for the family.
With the help of donations, the aim is to ensure a thorough consultation and surgical intervention to address the nasal polyp issue, allowing Andreea to breathe normally and improve her quality of life. Additionally, the remaining amount from the donation will be used to purchase clothes for the three girls or to procure firewood during the winter.

Moldova YFC – Update July 2023
We discussed with Vitalie and our coordinators about ideas. We have two ideas: 1. To buy 50 schoolbags and we will give them to the churches and encourage them to fill it and to donate to the most needed children from the day centre! 2. To buy many pencils, notebooks and other staff for the school needs. During the school time (9 months) the church workers will give to the children when they will need it!

Moldova information and prayer. January 2019.
Thanks for the mission Sunday collections. Providing €920 to go to the Family Fund in 2018
€340 went towards first Skin graft surgery for 12 year old Sorin. Soren’s recovery after surgery was very painful and upsetting for her and her family. They have decided to delay the next surgery until later this year in the hope Sorin will recover well and want to continue.
€340. For surgery to Ioni’s ankle. Ioni can now walk properly and is looking forward to football. Just before Christmas he told Olya one of our contacts at YFC that you have changed his life.
€240. Went towards winter shoes for 120 children
This included 13pairs of boots for disabled children.
The total bill for shoes this winter was €2600 Olya did a great job of getting the boots and shoes at a discount prices from the market trader she went to last winter.
These boots are in great need for the children as there is a lot of snow In the outlying villages.
Someone from one of the village churches told of the sad story of a 60 year old man and his 16 year old son who are extremely poor. The people of the church helped them find a rundown house and the father and son have been working to make it habitable, unfortunately this place doesn’t have a stove / fireplace/ chimney and they were freezing in the -10 nighttime temperatures.
Our friends at YFC have had a meeting about this and they have got a team together to build said fireplace.
We continue throughout 2019 in aiding the Family Fund over this difficult time winter time with food packages.
Remember these people in your prayers.
