MIA’S RECAP OF JANUARY
Beloved Friends of Mia’s Children ,
We are grateful and praise our Lord for the wonderful month we had .After all the Christmas’ excitement, it’s always difficult to come back at the everyday life . But , we started a new year filled with joy and trust , because we have so many signs of a mighty plan .It’s hard sometimes to explain such things , but we stay to think positive for our children’ future.
We are blessed to receive a national award for humanitarian work. The TV chanel “Euphoria “gave to me the award for the woman work for a better life around .The prize was handed to me by the Prime – Minister’s wife .Our children were painting during the show and everybody told that they are so well educated .We saw the Calendar printed in California and are so grateful for all the hard work people of California were doing for us.
As you know , we took here to live together us the 4 children and their Mother, Luminita by her name .The children are :Bebe (little John ).4 years , Andrei , 5 years , Mona 2 and half years and Coca , 1 and half year .They were abandoned by the father who have another wife and baby and left his first wife with nothing to survive with her four children .Luminita , the mother is very nice and she tried hard to keep the children and not to abandoned them , but when the snow came was dramatic for all of them to survive in cold , with no money for food , wood . You know that we are working with Bebe and Andrei for one year already . When the hard frost came , the two little girls were so frozen and the mother told she has no way to survive in her little room , especialy that the owner of the room asked her for more money .Took more than one month to make the girls fell well . All the four children are backward because they were forced to live in one room with several more people ; the mother could just in this way to share the cost of rent .So , they couldn’t speak , because the people were working over the nights and they need sleep during the day . The mother tried hard to keep the quiet and they mostly learned a way to speak by signs . The mother became a very nice helper for us here , in the new home .The kids are blooming day by day , they develop their habits , are making great steps and fell more secure .
There is another child , Roxana .Her father has special needs , he has a shorter leg and hardly can walk , but work and dig holes . They are a type of gypsy family ,with no home here, but very nice and they want the best for their child . Roxana has big troubles with her writing and reading and she needs a lot of attention and for sure a special consult and treatment for long term .The group is very nice with her and all the girls are trying to help her , to work after their homeworks and we are so proud that none of them don’t want to give up !
There is another situation where there is domestic violence and it’s hard to see teenagers so much concern and able to stay clean in such hard life in their home . They said :”praise God we have a real family in Mia’s Children , other way, where would we be ?”
The costs of life are growing every day . The costs are high and we hardly can manage the expences .The owner of the fifth floor told several days ago that he has to rise again the rent .The bills and transportation , the gas and electricity , the bread and vegetables , almost everything is going crazy .But when we see the fruits we have in these children , we know that all of us are doing a great work for the kingdome of God and we need to keep going .Even there are nights when we cannot sleep because they have high fever or cry or have nightmares ,even there are times when we really don’t know what to do other that to pray , we confess that it’s the presence of God in every step we make .
Here there is a short letter they wrote at the end of first school semester:
“Dear Friends ,
Today ended up the first school semester and it’s a new success beside you , together you ! We thank you for all the support you are giving to us everyday and thank you for making us to feel we are loved and are like your children .
May the mighty God to continue to help you and love you .We love you a lot !
The children from Mia’s Children “
Reasons to pray for :
-Pray that we’ll have house for the children who are here with us ;the costs of the houses are high and they still grow ;but we are sure that God is in control and we’ll have a place for our children ;
-pray for health and more care , especially foir the kids who need a lot of attention ;
-pray for our Mario Robert , for Gabriel –Patsy’s grandson , for his recuperation ;
-Pray for a way to be stabile in a place for longer term ;
-pray that God will bless all our Friends , founders , sponsors , helpers .
Many thanks and blessings for our wonderful month ,
Mia and all .
