Review for Star of Hope International America Inc, Ellinwood, KS, USA
I have been involved in volunteering and working with Star of Hope's staff for the last 10 years participating and speaking at their national conferences for parents and children with disabilities in Romania and visiting many families at home in their own environment. I witnessed the love and compassion of all the staff, employees, volunteers working at Star of Hope International showed to the most vulnerable "the least" population in such a great need for physical, emotional, spiritual and financial support. Over the years only in Romania thousands of families with children with disabilities have been helped and supported physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially on a daily bases and sponsored through the years by Star of Hope International who provided medical and health care, education, food, clothes, shelters, medications, toys for children, animals for self-sustaining, which lifted the burden of parents caring for their disabled children with no resources for daily living and giving them hope for the future. Many of these families have been trained, educated and empowered to help themselves and others in the same situation. Living under communist in the past they never knew that their is hope in God's promises, never had a Bible to read in their life and did not know how to pray to receive strength from our Heavenly Father in their struggles with their physical and emotional pain. Star of Hope International works relentlessly through their professionals and developed programs to help these children with disabilities to be integrate in society and to increase their self esteem and to improve their quality of life. I am amazed by Star of Hope and my heart always has been touched by their love and care for these children with special needs for life.
