Nicu Musca – Urgent
Spine Operation
A child within the Smiles Family Care Project
A Special Report from Angela Fetea (Social Assistant) |
|
 October 1st - Nicu’s
operation is getting closer and is crucially important to be done.
Nicu’s mother, Mariana, is more and more nervous. In her mind she is
thinking that she doesn’t have enough money yet for the operation in
her bank account, she doesn’t have anybody to help her, not even a
shoulder to cry on. Nicu doesn’t know a thing about all this; his mum
is acting like always with him, full of joy and hope for a better
future. Day by day, they prepare themselves for something that might
change Nicu’s life forever. |

In early November I talk with lady Mariana
on the phone asking her about Nicu and about how she is. Finally
touching the sensitive side of the financial situation. “A lot of
people have promised they will help, but not many of them kept their
word” said lady Mariana with a sadness in her voice.
She didn't dare yet tell Nicu that she doesn't have the money for the
operation. Nicu is like always, full of life and very talkative.

I feel in her voice
that she would like to ask me something but she doesn't have enough courage; she is
afraid that she might be disappointed again. A few seconds later I was
able to tell her that Smiles, through the generosity of other people
who find out about Nicu, some of them have even met him, would like to
help. For a few seconds she was again speechless, finally I ended the
conversation assuring her that we will make all the arrangements for
them and we will be close to her and her son.
A few days later both of them are ready and they expect the ambulance
to take them to Bucharest, 12 hours of driving and travelling. A few
days in the hospital for all sorts of tests and finally the great day
arrives…
|
November 17th - a day
that Nicu will never forget, it was the day when he had the surgical
operation on his spine and the great news is - It was a real
Success.
Now he is able to feel and move his legs
and the doctors said that with treatment they think he will soon be a
normally active kid, just like one of his classmates, able to move,
walk and in time, even run around. |
|
A few days ago, I called them again to
see how things are and both of them, mother and son were very happy to
hear from me and to tell me that they are more than grateful to the
ones that have been close to them and suffered with them, because the
day of rejoicing has come for Nicu and for all those who gave him a
chance through their prayerful and financial support.
A big thank you from Nicu and God
bless your generosity.
