HAPPY JULY 4TH FROM MIA & KIDS
MIA’S CHILDREN SENDS HAPPY JULY 4TH WISHES
I spoke with Mia yesterday, She and the children send their blessings to the U.S. for a happy July 4th.
This past week there was an International Film Gala, sponsored by Hertz Car Rentals & others, at one of the downtown hotels. With Mr. Grumbach’s help, our children were allowed to have an area to display their paintings. Four large paintings were done and presented to the 4 first place winners of the films by Gabriella, who has a special knack for talking with others and acting. Ten children were allowed to stay at the booth and talk about the paintings and Mia’s Children. How much fun they had!!!
The summer is hot there with no air conditioning. The kids enjoy playing in the yard, just being outdoors. They have a wading pool they love to enjoy the cool water in. The garden is growing and vegetables are beginning to come in.
Several of the older children have part time jobs at different places found by Rotarian members. They are enjoying working and becoming young adults. Thanks to the Rotarians for all their help.
Please be in pray for the following:
1. Mia and Costel’s health. Mia will go to the doctor on July 7TH and find out the results of the tumor taken from her face. As always with tumors, there is the chance of cancer. If so, procedures will begin for that. Costel is still receiving treatments for his liver problem. His condition is no worse, but not much better. They both have many responsibilities with so many children to care for.
2. Nicoleta is needing a test on her knee before surgery can be done. The cost of the tests is approx $120 U.S. dollars, if anyone would like to help.
3. We are still needing a place to move our mission. There has been no word from any of the places we have checked on. The Rotary members in Bucharest are continuing their search for us. I have had correspondence from one organization with promises of more discussions to come.
4. There is a need for more donors and donations. We have been running short each month. We are so very thankful for all your help each month. Just always remember that these kids depend on you and you and you and me to live.
Thanks for your love and concern.
