MOLDOVA YFC UPDATE NOVEMBER 24
Hello Tom, Sandra and Church.
This week we had training with churches and I heard a story about three kids from one family.
We discussed with a colleague some issues regarding this particular family.
Three out of the four children in this family are diagnosed with mental health disorders.
The children require long-term, consistent treatment.
Their mother has periods of heavy drinking, although currently, she is sober.
However, she does not understand the importance and necessity of this treatment; she believes these medication are just mild sedatives that will simply help the children sleep and make them a bit more obedient.
In reality, the situation is much more complex, and all three children need treatment for three to six months.
We anticipate that the mother will not be able to consistently monitor and ensure the treatment, but the day center workers are willing to take responsibility for overseeing the medication, The problem is cost of the medication is €80 per month for all three children. A minimum of three months of treatment would be €240. This treatment can have a lifelong impact on the children’s health, so it is crucial to dedicate time, resources, and attention to this matter. In hope to see improvement for these children and for this whole family.
Our thank you to your church family.

MOLDOVA YFC UPDATE SEPTEMBER 24
Hello dear Tom, Sandra and church.
We are really thankful that this year we were able to support some of the most vulnerable children. We bought 10 school bags and all the stuff for the school to help the children for one year!
The joy at these children was really big. They said: you have to send all our greetings and blessings for these wonderful people!
Kristina girl with tumour. now has started a new medicine. We hope she will be better. But now she still has health problems. We have to wait for two weeks and we will see the results.
Another of the problem is the price of these medicines.
She has enough for this first week, The big prayer need is for this period and for the possibility to buy medicines for the next period.
Andrei girl with Polyps in nose now breathing better but now still have problem with kidney, we still trying to help find cause of this illness.
Another need is for a big family. It is that family with twins which we helped with special food. Now they have another baby. And this baby who also have some health problems with kidneys, They need to make some expensive examination. I do not know the price of this examination but I will call the medical centre and I will ask.
The stroller for this baby boy (you can see it on the picture) given from my friend.
We thank your church family for their support for our children, Gods blessing to your church.

MOLDOVA YFC UPDATE - JULY 24
Just a short update this month. I just discuss with churches about family needs. Now the main problem it stays with school bags and stuff for the children. In the Taxobeni church (Cristina's village) they have 8 children from 3 families who really need help to buy clothes for the school and school bags with stuff for the studying. This problem we have not completed. In the winter time we will have more needs. At this time now, some parents find working in the lands and they have more possibilities to make money for their food and some needs. Please pray for our children.
Our love to you and your church family. Olya |
MOLDOVA UPDATE MARCH 24
Hello, dear Tom and Sandra. It's time for a new report on the work done. Lately, more and more messages are coming about that children don't have shoes, or they wear one pair for two or three brothers. We decided to spend part of the money received in the family fund on the purchase of 20 pairs of new sneakers for children from three day care centers. Monday will be the day when we give out sneakers and shoot a video of this event.
We spent the other part of the money on the examination and treatment of the girl Andreea 13 years old we wrote about earlier. She found a bigger problem than she had in the beginning. At the moment, she is undergoing bronchial and nasal treatment, and in mid-March, an operation to remove polyps in the nose will be performed. But now it’s found she has damaged kidneys and that need to be treated. This is a new challenge for this family.
In addition, we received a special donation for shoes for brothers with problem feet. We ordered the shoes at the beginning of February, this has been a long waiting because of the war everything is more difficult but we will pick them up on March 7 and then we can send a photo.
The news for Cristina the girl with brain tumur, she was going well after the surgery to remove the tumur but now she is having problem again. Now she is in the village, there she working with People from the village but her health is not very good her epileptic seizures are occurring more and more often and even during work And she really wants to work and to grown-up. She is undergoing various examinations in both Moldova and Romania. doctors say that in the place where the tumor was removed, tissue began to grow again, this is very difficult for her and family.
Thank you and your Church for your love and caring for our families of Moldova. Please also pray for our situation it is not very calm, because of Transnistria Putin threatens all of us because of this land

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.
