Maricica

Maricica Stanescu
Age: 38
Birthday: Sept. 24, 1976
Gender: Female
Location:
Nicoresti, Romania

About Maricica:
Now here is a girl after any mama's heart! She was born the year we were married, so God had this plan for us years before we knew!

Maricica was the meanest girl at the orphanage, she rebelled at everything, often combative and the other children feared her. When I brought her home to Casa Elisabeta, the other kids in the house groaned. But God changed all that in just a few weeks. Now she is the most reliable and loving young woman, she goes everywhere with Mama Sandie, it started in 1991 and is that way today. The other children in the family look to her for help and answers to problems.

Maricica loves gardening and working with animals, she is gentle and loving, always asking herself, is this what Jesus wants?

Your monthly contribution of $35 would go towards Maricica’s living expenses— food, shelter, clothing, and any medical expenses. Prayerfully consider giving toward her care.

Mihaita

Mihaita Ostafi
Age 22
Birthday :
March 25 1992
Gender: Male
Location:
Nicoresti, Romania

About Mihaita:
Mihaita (mee hi eat sa) came to the mission with a heart condition and was not expected to live through the year. After discussion with a heart doctor in Romania, it was recommended that he have a procedure Stenoza, to widen the arteries around the heart. The instrument needed for this was not found in Romania (all for adults) so it was hand delivered to us from Ohio! So over the mountains to a heart doctor and 2 yrs later, Mihaita was declared completely danger free!
One time while at the market we found a boy that was identical to Mihaita, obviously a brother, the boy was in foster care and we are still trying to locate him so they can have a brotherly relationship, please pray for this.
Mihaita assists with the physically disabled boys at Casa Rachel where he lives, he is able to give baths and help them dress. He also works at the workshop daily and loves working with Tata Bruce on any project. Very well rounded young man, he is unable to speak clearly but has progressed since he came to us in 1997. He understands English and is able to communicate quite well.

Your monthly contribution of $35 would go towards Mihaita's living expenses— food, shelter, clothing, and any medical expenses. Prayerfully consider giving toward his care.

Alex

Alex Constantinescu
Age: 22
Birthday:
January 2 1992
Gender: Male
Location:
Casa Hannah, Nicoresti, Romania

About Alex:
Alex is the first boy to make his home at Casa Hannah. Alex doesn't speak and needs complete care. He is however very aware of his surroundings and has people that he prefers to be around him. He can let you know real quick what his needs are.

We have had physical therapist for these children through the years but due to lack of funds we have had to drop that program. We do the stretch exercises with the residents ourselves. Alex is on meds for muscle relaxation, otherwise he is a healthy boy. The older he gets the more I understand that he can be moody and brooding so we pray with him, try to keep him entertained to cheer him. Sunday church services are his favorite activities.

Your monthly contribution of $35 would go towards Alex’s living expenses— food, shelter, clothing, and any medical expenses. Prayerfully consider giving toward his care.

Romeo

Romeo Radulescu
Age: 27
Birthday:
Dec. 13, 1987
Gender: Male
Location:
Casa Rachel,
Nicoresti, Romania

About Romeo:
Romeo is a loner, likes to do things on his own. He is great a housework and assisting with the wheelchair residents but also attends TRM Choir even though most times he won't talk. He could be autistic but certainly does interact with us so his diagnosis is fuzzy. Very hard to get a true diagnosis on these children/young adults in Romania. American doctors visiting very often give us diagnosis on the spot.
So this is Romeo, loves to work, gets really excited about going away with Tata in the big van and generally is not a problem for anyone. He is a sweet young man and easy to love. Attends church each Sunday and also helps with the Friday Nite Movies!

Your monthly contribution of $35 would go towards Romeo’s living expenses— food, shelter, clothing, and any medical expenses. Prayerfully consider giving toward his care.

Nicosor

Nicosor Darie
Age: 26
Birthday:
Jan. 19, 1988
Gender: Male
Location:
Casa Rachel,
Nicoresti, Romania

About Nicosor:
Nicosor has been in our care since we first arrived in 1991, he was the size of a baby due to lack of food and exercise. He gained strength in his legs but never was able to have the balance needed to walk more than a few feet, so just last year we got a wheelchair for him, for his own safety.
Nico loves to talk, mostly about food, loves his food! Every Sunday Bruce asks the congregation what they are thankful to God for and Nicosor always says he is thankful that his legs still work! Nicosor is mentally retarded, physically disabled and yet he recognizes what God has done for him. He also always thanks God for Mama & Tata. He is a handful to care for but his attitude makes up for all the work.

Your monthly contribution of $35 would go towards Nicorsor’s living expenses— food, shelter, clothing, and any medical expenses. Prayerfully consider giving toward his care.

Florentin

Florentin Ibanescu
Age: 32
Birthday: Oct. 31, 1982
Gender: Male
Location:
Casa Rachel, Nicoresti, Romania

About Florentin:
Florentin is the mascot of our mission. He is the total reason behind the building of the group homes. I have never seen a child suffer as he did, always picked on, beaten and left without food because he could not walk to the dining area. He was so tiny, I carried him on my hip everywhere, then slowly taught him to walk, he still does not talk completely (we understand him) and to smile and be happy, he is one of the most changed amongst the orphans.
Florentin now walks to workshop from his home, Casa Rachel, and completes his cross stitch work, he is a master at it, you can see his eyesight is bad but he manages to get some lovely pieces prepared to sell. He still prefers to work alone and must be pulled into activities such as our spring dance, once involved, he loves it!
Florentin was abandoned at birth, no records on his natural parents and he has never asked about them.

Your monthly contribution of $35 would go towards Florentin’s living expenses— food, shelter, clothing, and any medical expenses. Prayerfully consider giving toward his care.

Tina

TINA CALIN
Age: 36
Birthday Sept. 4, 1978
Gender: Female
Location:
Nicoresti, Romania

About Tina:
Tina is the girl to call when you need a hand! She is pleasant and always willing to help Mama with laundry and cooking. We taught her early on to cook when she came to us in 1994.
Tina was able to complete 8th grade in a special school and then attended our "in house" school for many years. She is a wonderful cross stitcher and attends the TRM workshop daily as well as assisting the wheelchair kids at Casa Hannah. This girl loves Jesus with all her heart, when we first taught her about God in 1991, she was amazed that anyone could love her so! She was abandoned at birth by her nomadic, gypsy parents. Tina has never inquired about her birth parents, even when offered with that information.
Even though Tina is able to speak and has no physical disabilities, she will always need care due to mental problems, slight they may be. Tina and Mama Sandie started the widows/widowers food program in 1995, it is a way to check on the elderly and assist when needed.

Your monthly contribution of $35 would go towards Tina’s living expenses— food, shelter, clothing, and any medical expenses. Prayerfully consider giving toward her care.

Andreea is the latest addition to the Tanner family. She will turn 4 in November 2014.
We have no information on the parents but we found Andreea in a hospital in Galati and knew immediately that she has a home at Casa Hannah. Andreea suffers from Cerebral Palsy.

She is so responsive to touch and speech, example when I speak English she ignores me but when I switch to Romanian her eyes pop with attention!

Your monthly contribution of $35 would go towards Andreea's living expenses— food, shelter, clothing, and any medical expenses. Prayerfully consider giving toward her care.

Maria Buruiana was born August 20, 1989, the year of the great Romanian Revolution, so she had only to wait 2 yrs for our arrival to take her home. During those 2 yrs she suffered from starvation and neglect but she is now a chunky, happy little girl who loves attention and good food!

Maria is completely dependent in her care and has progressed little since her arrival but is in other aspects happy, healthy and cheerful!

Your monthly contribution of $35 would go towards Maria's living expenses— food, shelter, clothing, and any medical expenses. Prayerfully consider giving toward her care.
