Update on the Father
I just got a call yesterday from Daniel who had called home to see how the family was doing. The father is in bad shape. Due to medical negligence, the father's condition was misdiagnosed and he now has thrombosis which will either result in the loss of his leg or in death. Daniel was very discouraged and asks for prayer. They are trying to figure out if they can move the family to his hometown of Cluj which is a larger city with more hospitals and options. The problem is not having someone who is able to care for them. Do you know of anyone in the area who could help? Any contacts or resources in the country and specifically close to Cluj that could assist this family?

Please Help!
Our church knows a family that is in dire need of help, encouragement and prayer. Let us introduce them to you: The Iusco Family. Dad - Vasile (46), Mom - Maria (36), Son - Vasile (13), Daughter - Maria (12). These are relatives of a precious couple who have been a part of the community in Ancona since the beginning - Daniele & Simona - who have a real heart for those who are sick and struggling. Can we tell you a bit about their situation?
Vasile, the son, has muscular dystrophy and has been living with it since he was 4 or 5 years old. He has been unable to walk since he was 8 years old. Maria has had it since she was 6 and has been unable to walk since she was 11. They both have a strong faith in God even though they suffer so much. They pray constantly for a miracle.
They are in need of lots of love, of real friends to help them not feel this suffering and to not feel alone. They are in need of moral support, of friends to help them forget what they are going through.
In addition, their parents are also ill and are unable to take care of their children in their condition. The father works to sustain the whole family and recently injured his foot and has been in the hospital. The mother, because of health and stress, has lost too much weight and is unable to care for family as she would like to.
Vasile has a battery-powered wheelchair, Maria's wheelchair does not have a battery and someone is needed to look at it to see if it can be fixed or upgraded.
They live in the town of Ieud in the area of Maramures in northern Romania.
