Sponsor Alin – 7 Years Old
Alin has quite the story. To look at him, you wouldn’t know that this sweet little boy has been through so much. His chipper attitude and loving embraces somehow overpower his tragic early childhood. A Roma (gypsy), Alin was born to a negligent, abusive father and a prostitute mother. He lived on the streets, eating trash to survive and sleeping in alleys. As early as two years old, his parents had trained him to beg and steal...
Sponsor Vio – 12 Years Old
Vio was taken away by the child protective services at 10 because of the continuous physical abuse. Her mother would frequently beat her with a hot iron rod, causing severe head injuries – even putting her into a 10-day coma on one occasion. More than this, Vio’s mother slit her throat, but did not ddep enought to kill her. Vio’s body is still covered in scars from all the abuse incidents. At a certain point (when Vio was 10 years old) the beatings became so bad that...

Sponsor Daniel – 5 Years Old
Daniel was abandoned in the hospital. He stayed there for six months until being taken in by his aunt. After three years with his aunt, she gave up him up to the state. He was subsequently placed with us at the Finding Hope Children’s Home. Daniel is fairly small for his age – the “baby” of our home. He is somewhat shy and slow to open up to others. He will likely need someone who is willing to push through...

Let's Stop the Suffering!
The greatest evil is not hate but indifference: Hate kills and maims thousands; indifference kills and maims millions. Moreover, every act of kindness towards fellow man ripples endlessly.
Therefore as God’s people, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience (Col. 3:12).

Words from children in our program
I was abandoned by my mother as a baby because I was born with congenital hydrocephalus – a condition in which an abnormal accumulation of brain fluid fills the cranial cavity causing the head to progressively enlarge. Though, my condition was eventually treated and my head decreased to normal size, I had a complication which left me paralyzed from my waist down. Currently, I am 16 years old, wheelchair bound, and live in a state-run orphanage, where I have been living all my life. I have always dreamed of having a family to adopt and love me. Since, I am an older orphan I losing hope that this will happen!
I was rejected by my mother and father and left in the hospital when I was born. I was taken orphanage where I have resided ever since. I do not know what it means to have a father and mother, but I would really like to have one someday. I am 15 years and would really like to have a family of my own one day. The orphanage life is all right, since it is all I know, but no one really loves me here like a mom and dad would! If I died now, probably no one would even care much! I hope that one day I can do something with my life, but it is hard for an orphan in Romania!
, RomaniaEven though I was abandoned by my mother and father and put in an orphanage, I was happy because I no longer had to endure their violent beatings and the harsh conditions of living on the streets! At least the orphanage had a warm bed, no brutal beatings, food to eat, and a bed to sleep on!
, RomaniaIt is hard to be an orphan, especially since I have cerebral palsy. It is hard for me to talk and walk. People always have to take care of me because if my disabilities. I wish I had mother and father to take care of me instead of the orphanage teachers! But, I know God will take care of me!
