My Nonprofit Reviews

Our story begins 7 years ago, in 2006. Like young people, at 21 years old, with enthusiasm regarding our future plans, with faith in God and with jobs, the future was ahead us. But this was only the beginning…
In short time we had to take some difficult decisions – for some we were prepared and we passed over them, the other we could not handle and the consequences were big – leisure time, career, budget, but all this help us to be mature, to be strong as a family and help us to see our potential which God putted in us.
When I finished the University I gave birth to my first child, Clara Bianca. She is 5 years old. At that time we were living in a flat. Because we didn’t want to have only one child, but more, we decided to move out in a house to have more space for the entire family. After 2 years we had a boy, Fillip Timotei, who has Down syndrome.
It was like a shock for us and I started to do everything like a routine, like a duty, searching for answers for the entire situation. I’ve find out about Star of Hope Romania Foundation from another families who have children with Down syndrome. In 2011 I’ve decided to do something for my child and I went to Star of Hope to ask for help. There I received information, I participated at meetings with other parents and we decided to fight for the rights of our children. For a while Fillip went at individual therapy and now he is integrated in a group of children who have the same age. I also worked with him a lot at home. Now he can walk, he can eat by self, he imitates the adults. Fillip is 3 years old. After he was born we moved out and now are living in a house.
Last year, in 2012, God gave us another baby, a girl, Theodora Sophia. Fillip loves his sister very much and together they learn how to share, to speak, to use the potty and other things.
Our future is not in our hands, but we try to be prepare for tomorrow. „All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits“. (Proverbs 16:2) „The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.” (Proverbs 21:31).
