Messages from the children about the way in which Light for Children helps them:
"If I didn't have the support of Light for Children I would be completely alone. I don't know my Romanian family so I rely on my family in England to encourage and help me. If I need anything for school, I know that I can go to Mrs Helen. If I am sick, I know that she will buy my medicine for me. Thank you to everyone in England who thinks about us and sends money to help us."
"I am very pleased to be supported by Light for Children. Whenever I am sad or upset about anything, I know that Mrs Helen will encourage me and help me to see the positive side of things. I know that she visits very sick children and that when I have a problem I should remember that there are people who are much worse off than me. I am very grateful that you, my friends in England, are helping me to prepare for my future. I feel confident that with your help, I will be able to be successful. Thank you for everything that you do to help me."
"I am in the middle of my final school exams now. Helen gave me a key to the apartment so that I can come and revise whenever I want to. It has been a great help to me as there it is quiet and I can concentrate without being disturbed. I hope to go to university to continue my studies. I have been doing work experience in a bakery this year and have been able to save a lot of money in the bank. It will be a big help to me if I go away to university as there will be lots of expenses. Thank you for helping me. Throughout my childhood I have always known that there is someone there for me."
"Thank you for helping me to buy my new teeth! I have recently had 6 false teeth fitted and can now smile again without being embarrassed! You have also helped me to be able to visit my Grandmother in the village and to get to know some of my relatives. I am really happy that I know something about my family even if my parents don't want to meet me. Thank you for all the toiletries that you send to us. It would be difficult to keep clean without this help."
"I am sad about being sick but it is good to know that whenever I go into hospital Helen will visit me. I don't have to worry if the doctor prescribes medication for me because I know that my family in England sends money for my medication. Thanks to Light for Children, we have been to the mountains and the sea-side. We have also eaten in the best restaurants in Botosani and Dorohoi. We have been treated like princesses. Please keep coming back to visit us. We are always waiting for you!"
