I do not know
about you, but there are times when I feel that my days, weeks,
even months are ‘very rainy’. Even if I do like a rainy day after
a hot summer day, at times I feel that it is too much! Like the
weather now in Romania. February was a very wet, raining month!
The land is full with water.
What do you do
when you go through a rainy season in your life?
God promised us
that He will never leave us or forsake us! Even on the ‘rainy
days’ ….so that’s a great encouragement!
There are a lot of
people here in Romania that the Smiles Foundation work with daily
and they go through a lot of rainy days! I just received news from
a dear friend of mine that her child, 5 years old has a brain
tumour and needs surgery. Another friend of mine has cancer.
Another one had their father die this past month because of
cancer! We live in a world in great turmoil! Everywhere you turn
you can hear negative news!
Emergency Housing Unit
This morning we
received a phone call from a lady that calls our office weekly,
since October last year to ask for help. She is desperate to get
out of the house and start a new life but she is scared. Her
husband is abusing her and using violence against her and their
baby that is under one year old. She is scared to take the big
step and get away! So pray for my colleagues that have a direct
involvement with this case and also for her to have the courage to
get out of the house! She will try to do it today if she can!
Also another lady
called the office this morning that she and her kids want to come
to Smiles for support because of her abusive alcoholic husband!
She left the house that is 100 km away from Oradea and my
colleagues are waiting for her at the train station!
I can’t give you
many details of the location and project but I’m sure that a lot
of you know what I’m referring to. What you might not know is that
in order for us to do this we need financial support!!!! And
that’s hard to get it when you can’t explain every detail about
the cases! If there is a chance for you to help us please do that!
Please support us in order to support these 2 cases that are real
emergencies. Every little help!
