Long Overdue Update

Hello everyone, our friends, Daniel & Simona, got back a week ago from a 2-week visit in Romania. They were able to visit Vasile & Maria and bring back news and photos.

*The family made the 8-hour roundtrip to Cluj to visit the hospital to seek help for the father's swollen foot only to find that there was no room for them. This included the mom dragging the children onto the bus by herself...they weigh more than she does!

*Maria (daughter) seems to be stable, gaining weight and in good spirits. Vasile has lost too much weight and is losing mobility quickly.

*The father does his best to stay off the foot but also knows there is lots to do to take care of the family. He's still waiting, praying, hoping his foot will get better.

*We have made some contact with Remember the Children and they have offered assistance but we're still trying to work out the details - the family is pretty distant from the workers in the field. For example, they are offering therapy for the kids if they moved to Oradea, but they would need housing.

*Daniel & Simona are looking into options to bring them to Ancona, at least for the short-term to get the father assistance.

Thanks for keeping them in your prayers and any help you can offer. We hope to have some video up soon!
