Our twins, Vlad-Nicolae and Petru- Iulian were born in 2003. At only 7 months, in 2004, Hand of Help was urgently called to rescue them from their atrocious family environment. Their father committed suicide and their mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
The twins grew up under our eyes and have become the joy (and energy factor) of the orphanage. They were extremely active, curious and eager to experiment with everything.

In the spring of 2024, we were overjoyed to see Vlad marry the love of his life, Ema. Our staff and his long time friends from the center were there to share in his immense joy.

Vlad is currently enrolled in a state program that offers young adults a monthly stipend until the age of 26 as long as they continue their studies or are employed. He is studying in Iasi, a major university city nearby and is also employed. Ema is a student in Iasi as well and after finishing their studies, they plan on returning to Botosani. They serve together in church and are grateful to the Lord for bringing them together and working in such a marvelous way in their lives.

Thank you for being a part of Vlad's life for so many years! May Vlad and Ema's lives bring glory to the Almighty God!
