In February, Russia invaded Ukraine and presented a whole new opportunity for PHFTC to care for the needy due to many Ukrainians crossing the Romanian border and needed a place of safety and rest. Many of our partners embraced this opportunity and took in these homeless mamas and children. This provided a unique opportunity for us at PHFTC to purchase supplies for the refugees, as well as food, medicine, and hygiene products for hospitals and orphanages across the border in Ukraine. One refugee mama sobbed when she was given a bottle of shampoo from us as she hadn't been able to wash her hair in a month. That was a $5 donation that became the hands of Jesus.<br /> <br /> </td></tr></tbody></table><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; max-width: 300px; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 18px 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top">The pediatric hospital continues to care for babies in Sibiu and Ramona and Andrea visited and held the children. Olga, our Board Treasurer, met Ramona in Romania and worked as a translator to the Ukrainian Refugees as they traveled from camp to camp. They also were able to visit one of the Roma villages and check in on Sammy, a little boy that Mona took care of for years in the hospital. His joy at seeing her is such a delight. This Fall, Ramona and Kristen, Board Vice Chair, went to Romania and found an orphanage an hour away from our home base. This is an exciting opportunity to help in new areas! PHFTC has had a burden for our tired partnering foundation directors, and we put on a banquet on to encourage and thank them.<br /> <br /> </td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody class="mcnImageBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageBlockInner" style="padding: 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageContent" style="padding: 0px 9px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><img align="center" alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/294ba83e-33a4-5cf3-b8ba-addb9ae5ffdf.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline !important; height: auto; max-width: 800px; outline: none; padding-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="304.56" /></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody class="mcnImageBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageBlockInner" style="padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageContent" style="padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><img align="center" alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/05969633-5096-21d8-8799-e61374152c73.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline !important; height: auto; max-width: 1105px; outline: none; padding-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="600" /></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" style="padding-top: 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; max-width: 300px; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 18px 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top">2022 gave PHFTC the opportunity of again going to Puerto Rico!

Many baby supplies, food, and hygiene products were purchased for the hospital and orphanage and the families had a chance to play with the kids at the home. The hospital unbeknownst to Ramona were almost out of one size of diapers– and that was exactly the size that the team purchased double of! There was much praising God after realizing that fact! They also visited the afterschool program on the other side of the island and shopped for plants, soil, and other gardening items for the new agricultural club.<br /> </td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody class="mcnImageBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageBlockInner" style="padding: 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageContent" style="padding: 0px 9px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><img align="center" alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/aa862a79-5c0a-6e35-8f6d-894429908332.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline !important; height: auto; max-width: 1047px; outline: none; padding-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="349.68" /></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody class="mcnImageBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageBlockInner" style="padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageContent" style="padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><img align="center" alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/a4517bc8-7526-8469-ae00-d57be02336e1.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline !important; height: auto; max-width: 1105px; outline: none; padding-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="600" /></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" style="padding-top: 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; max-width: 300px; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 18px 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top">Prayers:<br />· Health and wisdom or the Board of PHFTC<br />· Trip to Puerto Rico in March to visit and buy supplies for the hospital and foundations there.

Much has happened since I last updated and I apologize for the silence. Family life sometimes becomes a priority and we have had many major things going on including the addition of a sweet, foster baby that has had a very tough start in life. All in all, we are managing with lots of prayers and grace. In May, I traveled to Romania for my annual work trip to purchase supplies, work in the hospital, visit with our Partners, and minister to the Ukrainian Refugees. So many blessings this trip and very sobering on how quickly our lives can change.</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td id="templateBody" style="background: none center center / cover no-repeat rgb(255, 255, 255); border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(234, 234, 234); border-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 9px; padding-top: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody class="mcnImageBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageBlockInner" style="padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageContent" style="padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><img align="center" alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/22fff5b7-1ee2-a733-bba2-b647941a9753.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline !important; height: auto; max-width: 1105px; outline: none; padding-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="600" /></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" style="padding-top: 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; max-width: 300px; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 18px 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top"><span style="font-family: open sans, helvetica neue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">PHFTC was once again able to bless multiple foundations with supplies for their missions! Today I will share with you about the NGO Humanitas/ Romanian Relief. We bought food and hygiene products for the group homes in Tinca where medically and emotionally disabled children live. At least one of these children, I cared for in the hospital many years ago and was rescued and placed in the homes. I met with their Director and shared in her concerns, stressors, and joys she had over the past year. We were also able to help them with food and supplies that were being taken over the border into Ukraine to a makeshift orphanage for special needs children.<br />This last part was due to a sweet donor, who gave a substantial donation to PHFTC. She really wanted it to be used for orphans, but knew that the need of the Ukrainian Refugees was great, as well. In the end, she gave the gift without any strings attached and surrendered the gift to God. Of course, He already had a plan and that was for PHFTC to buy items from a list for orphans that had been moved from Western Ukraine to Eastern Ukraine and were set up in an old school! This gift killed two birds with one stone as the saying goes!</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> </td></tr></tbody></table><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; max-width: 300px; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 18px 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top">Andrea, our Romanian Outreach Coordinator, and I visited our pediatric hospital in Sibiu where we found a sweet 8 year old girl now a resident of the hospital. Ten months earlier she had drunk cleaning solution from a water bottle and her esophagus had been almost completely destroyed. The doctors in Bucharest had put a port in her stomach, but had no other training or ability to do more. She was then sent back to Sibiu to live in the hospital. <br /><br />When we met little Codruta, her sparkling eyes and sweet smile immediately captured us, but after hearing her story, we became determined to give this little girl her life back! We are looking for a specialist in Europe or UK that would take this case on pro bono and do the complicated surgery of creating a new esophagus. Recently, Andrea met a German nurse, who knows a doctor in Germany that might be useful. We are trying to get the medical records translated and sent to them. Please pray that we can help this remarkable child with a new life!</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody class="mcnImageBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageBlockInner" style="padding: 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageContent" style="padding: 0px 9px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><img align="center" alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/81f110ad-8103-70a9-f72e-4aac84bd8172.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline !important; height: auto; max-width: 800px; outline: none; padding-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="564" /></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody class="mcnImageBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageBlockInner" style="padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageContent" style="padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><img align="center" alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/05969633-5096-21d8-8799-e61374152c73.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline !important; height: auto; max-width: 1105px; outline: none; padding-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="600" /></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" style="padding-top: 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; max-width: 300px; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 18px 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top">In February, a group of us from PHFTC with our children, traveled to Puerto Rico and visited with our Sponsored Education Student, Henry.

Ramona then forwarded this video to the director of the Pediatric Hospital in San Juan for the entertainment of the social children housed there.<br /> </td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnImageBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageBlockInner" style="padding: 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageContent" style="padding: 0px 9px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><img align="center" alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/c3a57934-1696-b58e-d305-0e930f4ec6fb.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline !important; height: auto; max-width: 153px; outline: none; padding-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="153" /></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnImageBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageBlockInner" style="padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageContent" style="padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><img align="center" alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/a4517bc8-7526-8469-ae00-d57be02336e1.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline !important; height: auto; max-width: 1105px; outline: none; padding-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="600" /></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" style="padding-top: 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 18px 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top"><div style="text-align: center;">Please pray for our upcoming Fundraisers!<br />We have our <strong>Online Auction</strong> next week and <strong>Giving Tuesda</strong>y after Thanksgiving.<br /><br />We are so grateful to have received $1100 in matching grants for the Giving Tuesday Fundraiser hosted on Facebook.

My heart has yearned to be back doing this part of the job for over a year now! Within the first week of being here, we have driven across half the country. We flew into Cluj, Romania and drove up to Oradea, where I met with my Romanian children, and our PHFTC Romanian Outreach Director, Andrea. She has been doing an amazing job in her new role during Covid and we are so grateful for her!<br /><br /> <img data-file-id="5619561" height="233" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/659d7b0d-d5ee-cf6a-239c-d77246d254ec.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline; height: 233px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 300px;" width="300" /></strong><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">We purchased supplies for <a href="https://fmnministries.org/" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank" title="Forget Me Not Ministries">Forget Me Not Ministries</a> and <a href="https://findinghopeministries.org/" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank">Finding Hope Ministries</a> before we left for Sibiu. Once there, we were able to visit Finding Hope Ministries, an orphanage that houses 35 children and that housed our PHFTC November Service Team in 2019. Due to a fire in one of their homes, they lost many items. We were able to purchase sheets, blankets and bath towels for the children. Kristen, Andrea and I delivered the supplies, spoke with the Director, interacted with the children and volunteers, and even helped cook in the kitchen!<br /><br /> <img data-file-id="5619565" height="220" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/4b4cd609-fa7b-9021-6e75-e1c2b3caf87d.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline; height: 220px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 300px;" width="300" /></strong><strong style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </strong><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> That afternoon, due to our vaccinations, Kristen and I were allowed into the hospital for a few hours to hold and feed the babies. We have only 6 social children in the hospital now. Covid has greatly declined the number of children being left at the hospital and we are praying that the trend will continue as long as the babies aren't being neglected.<br /><br /> <img data-file-id="5619569" height="300" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/9120a8a0-d8c5-b217-17f4-d459acf905c2.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline; height: 300px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 300px;" width="300" /></strong><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> We had the opportunity to meet and visit with a member of <a href="https://www.firmfoundationsromania.com/" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal;" target="_blank">Firm Foundations Romania</a> in Brasov, a couple hours away. One of their projects is sending in volunteers into their pediatric hospital, much like we do! It was such a pleasure to make that connection and possibly partner or help each other in the future. Again in the afternoon, we were able to spend time with the little ones in the hospital and put up some colorful wall clings to brighten the rooms.<br /><br /> <img data-file-id="5619573" height="300" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/6ddc3d07-5237-ce55-6aaa-91e6cdc1efd5.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline; height: 300px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 300px;" width="300" /> <br /> The weekend has been spent, among other things, showing Kristen the beauty and culture of Romania and preparing for this coming week's meetings!

This week we will be meeting new foundations on the island as we open our new project on the island. This has been a long journey to get to this point where we could expand our ministry and all of us at PHFTC is very excited about this opportunity! Please pray that all goes smoothly and safely for us! <br /><br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://youtu.be/RhwrEwiMLBQ" href="https://youtu.be/RhwrEwiMLBQ" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/RhwrEwiMLBQ</a><br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />Mona<br />Project Hope for the Childrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01631899520549234014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249208308468833203.post-57173004159853092722021-04-07T12:46:00.003-04:002021-04-07T12:46:46.164-04:00Prayer Partners Needed<p> Happy Wednesday Friends,</p><br /> I am still counting our blessings with the final total of PHFTC's March Madness Fundraiser! $3,537 was our grand total and my heart is blessed! This is so helpful for our annual budget and the needs of our new projects starting in Puerto Rico!<br /><br /> Another exciting thing I wanted to tell you about today is that we have asked a very talented woman, Lori Anne De Loreto, to join our team as a contracted Development Coordinator. She will help us with our fundraising and marketing as we continue to meet the needs presented to us. <br /><br />Our first order of business to give our website a face lift so please feel free to visit us often to see the changes and updates! <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.projecthopeforthechildren.org/" href="https://www.projecthopeforthechildren.org/" target="_blank">https://www.projecthopeforthechildren.org/</a> .<br /><br /> Secondly, the need I come to you about today is for you to join us in becoming <em><strong>Prayer Partner</strong></em>s with the ministry! It is essential as we grow and help others to have a covering of prayer around my Board, the ministry, the people we serve, and my family. We are looking for several people who are willing to pray for the specific things that are sent to them with dedication and passion! You can pray on your own or if you want be joined with a few other people, you can meet online or in the way you are most comfortable. I am so excited to see how this will affect our ministry and the outcomes of it!<br /><br /> Please email me at <a data-cke-saved-href="mailto:caring@projecthopeforthechildren.org" href="mailto:caring@projecthopeforthechildren.org" target="_blank">caring@projecthopeforthechildren.org</a> if interested and we can explain more and get you started. Have a blessed day!<br /><br />In Him,<br /><br />Ramona Petrella Cummings<br />Founder and Executive DirectorProject Hope for the Childrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01631899520549234014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249208308468833203.post-92230785342407169472021-03-15T12:30:00.001-04:002021-03-15T12:30:15.661-04:00March Madness 2021<p> <span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Hello Friends,</span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> Project Hope for the Children has started our annual March Madness Fundraiser where we highlight the different projects we do and how we have served the children in Romania and beyond! This is the 18th year anniversary since I moved to Romania and was moved by the needs that I saw in the lives of the children there!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> There will be some emails sent out to you, but the best way to learn is to follow us on Facebook. If you don't have Facebook, our website is filled with pictures and descriptions of what we do and a tab for donating for your convenience.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> This winter has been passing with several developments within our ministry! We continue to supply the Pediatric Hospital in Sibiu with baby essentials for the social babies that reside there. We have contact with our Volunteer Nurse Liaison, but due to Covid we have been unable to hire another Maternal Assistant to work in the hospital directly with the babies. Please, be in prayer that once the hospital is reopened, we can find someone to again work with the babies and that we have the money in the budget to pay for that person's salary.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Below are some pictures that show some of the supplies given to this hospital and the ways we try to enrich the babies' lives.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="http://www.projecthopeforthechildren.org/" style="background-color: white; color: #336699; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" target="_blank"><img data-file-id="5541893" height="406" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/3e03410d-62ed-49d3-8641-b4458ff89c5a.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline; height: 406px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; width: 400px;" width="400" /><br /><br /> </a><a href="http://www.projecthopeforthechildren.org/" style="background-color: white; color: #336699; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" target="_blank"><img data-file-id="5541897" height="296" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/06c61b82-91e5-46eb-9257-f226177ec10a.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline; height: 296px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; width: 400px;" width="400" /></a><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Thank you for your prayers and support as we continue this journey!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Blessings,</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Mona</span><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">www.projecthopeforthechildren.org</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div><h2 class="h2" style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Arial; font-size: 30px; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"> </h2></div>Project Hope for the Childrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01631899520549234014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249208308468833203.post-2689747828156151712020-12-01T10:19:00.003-05:002020-12-01T10:19:51.226-05:00Giving Tuesday 2020<p> This past year, we have been able to help the social babies at the pediatric hospital in Sibiu, feed orphans at a private orphanage, stock a Co-op for Roma mothers, feed and educate a group of 50 children at an afterschool program, <em>then</em> feed those children's families during the pandemic. </p><br />Now, we are reaching into Puerto Rico and sponsoring a deaf, foster child to have a good education in a school that will specifically cater to his needs! And when it is safe to travel, I will be touring orphanages in Puerto Rico to access if we can donate basic baby essentials to them, as well. <br /><br />All this has been accomplished through prayer and your financial aid! Today is <strong><em>Giving Tuesday</em></strong> and with Covid making it impossible to speak and fundraise in person, this fundraiser is vital! Please stop by our Facebook page and donate today and the next few days. <u>100% of the donations will come to us! <br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.facebook.com/donate/410184810341300/" href="https://www.facebook.com/donate/410184810341300/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/donate/410184810341300/</a></u><br /><br />If you don't have Facebook you can go directly to our website and either shop our Catalog or make a general donation there! <br /><a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.projecthopeforthechildren.org" href="http://www.projecthopeforthechildren.org" target="_blank">http://www.projecthopeforthechildren.org</a><br /><br />Thank you for taking the time and may this season bring you many blessings in return!<br /><br />Mona<br /><h2 class="h2"><br /></h2><br data-cke-eol="1" />Project Hope for the Childrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01631899520549234014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249208308468833203.post-73693069833175882502020-09-09T15:16:00.005-04:002020-09-09T15:16:41.039-04:00September Update<p> </p><h1 class="h1" style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Arial; font-size: 34px; line-height: 34px; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms", "marker felt-thin", arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><em>The Latest at PHFTC</em></span></span></span></h1><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Hello Friends,</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> I trust that you all had an enjoyable and safe summer! I was able to spend many hours of quality family time with my children and take a break! However, I was never able to travel over to Romania because of the Corona Virus,and that has been very hard to be away from my "home" and work. I know there was a reason, but not being there when so many need help has been trying for me. Nevertheless, I wanted to present to you a little of what PHFTC has still been able to accomplish in the past several months and update you on some prayer needs.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Our hospital supplies in Sibiu, were stretched from my purchases in November, mainly due to the fact that there were fewer children being dropped off because of the lock down. Cornelia, our Volunteer Nurse Liaison, sent us a list of needed items for the babies and Andrea, our contracted Director of Romanian Ministries shopped for the baby supplies and had them shipped down. The hospital is doing well and there haven't been any cases in among our babies.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><img data-file-id="5215813" height="187" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/0b678135-dc87-49b6-b2b4-8f96d4974422.jpeg" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: mediumblue; display: inline; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; height: 187px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-align: justify; width: 250px;" width="250" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span><img data-file-id="5215809" height="187" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/efc83bfe-e6a4-47ac-94d6-0d5db86df114.jpeg" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: mediumblue; display: inline; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; height: 187px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-align: justify; width: 250px;" width="250" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">We also needed to purchase more books for the social children in the hospital. If you remember, these books (or stuffed animals) are often sent back with the child to wherever they call "home", IF they do leave. This gives the little ones something special of their own to help with their attachment issues. Andrea, found many lovely books and had them shipped down, as well!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><img data-file-id="5215873" height="433" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/53e28ee0-cb0c-4163-a838-85ac5a338c81.jpeg" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: mediumblue; display: inline; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; height: 433px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-align: justify; width: 250px;" width="250" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span><img data-file-id="5215821" height="161" src="https://mcusercontent.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/34368bff-588d-4878-8631-8ce408501384.jpeg" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: mediumblue; display: inline; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; height: 161px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-align: justify; width: 250px;" width="250" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">With the return of children to the After School Program, food was needed to feed 50 little mouths.

The shelves were bare, but thankfully PHFTC was able to purchase $2000 worth of food, hygiene products, and diapers so the Roma mothers can shop with the money they make from creating the JoyBeadz and working odd jobs.

I had intended on sending more emails out as we are running out annual March Madness Fundraiser, but with the chaos in our world and my children coming home and schooling here, there hasn't been much time! Everywhere, we are all juggling new responsibilities, less social interactions, and uncertainties in the days ahead. Thankfully, we have a God that reminds us that we might make our plans, but He guides and directs our days!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> Our goal for this fundraiser is to raise $2,000. We have received $425 via Facebook and $500 in the mail so we are almost halfway to our goal for this particular fundraiser. Thank you so much! We now just need $1,075 to come in before March 31st! If you have forgotten to send in your donation or participated in our FB fundraiser, we completely understand! The good news is: You still have time!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> We are continuing to purchase supplies for the hospital in Sibiu, purchasing and reselling Joy Beadz to help empower the Roma women of Tinca support their families and supply food and supplies to the after-school program and other foundations.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> I have a trip planned for April 24th that I doubt I will be able to go on. Unfortunately, I have to wait closer to the time to be able to postpone or cancel due to the overwhelming amount of current cancellations. Please pray that we have guidance about when to go and safety for the world as the virus spreads and more shortages occur. This weekend, we will be purchasing $500 in food for a very poor gypsy community that did not have the money to have reserve foods.

We currently have about a quarter of that and need another quarter before I leave for my trip to Romania in April.

<span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> Dear Friends,</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> I hope your New Year has started out with blessings and the affirmation that you are important and have much impact on this world! I am continually reminded that we are each here for a purpose, whether it is encouraging a stranger or a friend, making a meal for someone, paying someone's utilities, or donating money to a cause, you are here for a reason- to make this world a better place!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> Recently, I took my son to an elder care home and had him pass out flowers and use his gifts of smiles and dance to bless the occupants. They were so happy to see a young, vibrant boy in their midst willing to give them a breath of Springtime and a hug. As I watched, Andrew became more and more happy as he saw their joy! I explained to him later that dancing not only can bring him pleasure, but others as well, and in return he felt fulfilled too. I realized that I was merely being the vehicle for him to use his talents to bless others.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> That is what we at </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">PHFTC</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> are praying we will be for you this year - a conduit of your dreams and goals! Our work to help others that are abandoned and needy continues on! Even with the changes happening in our projects, we are eager to see what will happen in the next few months and how our reach will broaden!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> For those of you that haven't heard yet, Alina, our long time employee, resigned at the end of the year. She has been working tirelessly for many years with not only our foundation, but others and is need of a rest. She will be training our new employee, Andrea this month for the position of </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"><em>Director of Romanian Outreach.</em></strong><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> This is a part time position doing the managerial work in Romania and her sponsored salary will be less than Alina's. </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">*Please see her bio below. </strong><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">We are also looking for a part time </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"><em>Maternal Assistant</em></strong><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> for the Sibiu Hospital.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> We also have a new opportunity presenting itself that we are beginning to explore. Many of you might remember that I lived in Puerto Rico for a short period and volunteered at a Christian school for the deaf. The director there and I will be writing letters to the many </span><u style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">orphanages</u><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> on the island to see if there are any deaf children that are being "lost in the system". PHFTC would provide sponsors for the children so they could be housed and taught in their language at the school! At this time, we don't know if there are any such children, but we want to investigate this area. This will also give us as a non profit the introduction into these orphanages so we might see if they need any donations of basic essentials for the children housed in the orphanages. With the recent hurricanes and earthquakes, I feel strongly that this is a location that could use our help! </span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: indigo; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"><strong>Please Pray for:</strong></span><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"></span><br />

God gave me the opportunity to use my experience as a teacher and youth leader to minister to the poor and orphaned, to bring them hope and healing through education and discipleship. By teaching in the poor villages and taking in orphans on the weekends, I realize that not only has God transformed others lives but He has transformed me in the process! What He has done in me is greater than anything He can do through me because serving Him is all about knowing Him. So I am thankful to now have another opportunity to know Him more by serving under Project Hope For The Children.<br /><br />Growing up in a small town in Vermont I never imagined that God would send me halfway across the world but I am so grateful to be in Romania. I have learned so much more than just a new language. I have learned that God's love for me and others is deeper than I ever imagined. It has been such a joy to share His heart... to proclaim His message of grace... and to let His great love continue to change me and others around me as I journey with Him. </em></span></span></h3>

<span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> Good Morning Friends,</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> We are at that wonderful time of year again when there are so many ways to give and to be generous! I always find so many worthy causes to donate to on Giving Tuesday and I'm sure that you must too! In fact, it can be a little overwhelming being barraged all on one day of the year! But I have come to find that with our hectic lives, having to focus on this a specific day is actually really nice (and exciting, too)! This day we can make such a difference in so many causes, just by giving the equivalent of our coffee money for the week, a dinner out, or a weekend away.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">I am writing to ask you to consider giving to Project Hope for the Children today. We might not be a large, well known foundation, but we are consistent in serving our population (for over 16 years). We have real relationships with the Romanian hospital workers and with the NGO directors that I visit annually and communicate with often. We make sure that vital baby essentials are available for the hospitals at all times to use on the needy babies coming in, we support after school programs that are feeding and educating poor children, and we are feeding children in group homes and supplying food and hygiene products to co-ops- Every. Single. Year.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">On this day, please head over to our website or Facebook page to make a donation that will assist our yearly budget and help ensure that we can continue to provide these things and more as we reach out others in their need and distress.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Thank you for all your support .We do not take it for granted! </span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Blessings,</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Ramona and the Board at PHFTC</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><a href="https://www.projecthopeforthechildren.org/catalog.html" style="background-color: white; color: #336699; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" target="_blank">https://www.projecthopeforthechildren.org/catalog.html</a><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><a href="https://www.projecthopeforthechildren.org/catalog.html" style="background-color: white; color: #336699; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/phftc/ </a>Project Hope for the Childrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01631899520549234014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249208308468833203.post-73328598492699711602019-10-28T15:02:00.000-04:002019-10-28T15:02:30.913-04:00November Service Team<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="templateContainer" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); color: black; width: 600px;"><tbody>

Hello Friends!<br /><br /> It is hard to believe, but after 16 years, I am finally able to take a team over to Romania with me to serve! I am so excited and stressed all at the same time!<br /><br /> We have a great group of ladies going and they are so enthusiastic about serving! The unity I have felt in our meetings is amazing and I pray that all of them will be blessed because of this opportunity!<br /><br /> We leave this coming Friday evening, <strong>the 1st of November</strong> and return Sunday, <strong>the 10th,</strong> close to midnight. We will be working afternoons at the hospital in Sibiu with the children there; holding and playing with them. We will assist a local, private orphanage one morning with anything they need assistance with and visit Association Smile and Hope for the Future to see the children at the after school program. While there we will make crafts with the kids and give them winter hats, mittens, and scarves. I also have some sightseeing of the two cities scheduled in so the team can see a little of the beauty and culture of Romania.<br /><br /> This week there has already been attacks from Satan with illnesses, operations, and resignations so please be in prayer for our safety, health, and emotions as we travel. Below are pictures of the individual team members.<em> If you want to know more about Sandy, Judy, Doreen, Beverly, Megan and Olivia, you can visit our Facebook or Instagram pages to read their bios. </em>The links are at the bottom of this email.<br /><br /><br /> Many Blessings,<br /><br /> Mona<h2 class="h2" style="color: #202020; font-size: 30px; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: left;">

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms", "marker felt-thin", arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><em>The Latest at PHFTC</em></span></span></span></h1>
<span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Hello Friends,</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> I hope you all are enjoying the change in seasons to Autumn weather and foliage! This season is always a goodbye of summer and a waiting for winter, which is what our ministry is doing right now. Last Thursday was our last day working in the hospital in Oradea. It was a hard farewell for us, but without the contract from the Manager, we could no longer continue to work there with the babies. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> It was sad to say goodbye to the place where Project Hope for the Children was "birthed". Last week was spent cataloging our supplies and deciding what to take and what to leave at the hospital. On Thursday, thanks to modern technology, I was able to be videoed in with Ali as she left the hospital. I saw the babies, spoke to some of the nurses and a doctor and had a farewell look at the outside of the hospital. There were some tears, however, we know that God has a plan and we are doing our best to seek out what the next step is in that plan. We still have our foundations in the Oradea area that we support and the hospital in Sibiu to keep us busy.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> We also have our Service Team headed over in November! Alina and I will be taking 6 wonderful ladies to one of the after school programs that we sponsor to do crafts with the kids, hand out scarves, hats, and mittens, and visit in the Roma village. Then the majority of our time will be spent in Sibiu holding and playing with the babies in the hospital. I am so very excited about this opportunity to share "my Romania" with others and let them be blessed by serving others!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers for all the changes and emotions Alina and I have right now as we look for new projects to care for the helpless in Romania!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> Many Blessings.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> Mona</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><img data-file-id="4344885" height="250" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/_compresseds/66598b0b-17cc-4ac6-ad33-ea563e4e0a68.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: mediumblue; display: inline; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; height: 250px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-align: justify; width: 250px;" width="250" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span><img data-file-id="4344881" height="250" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/f5e93519-63ae-4955-bbcf-f4b5361dd755.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: mediumblue; display: inline; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; height: 250px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-align: justify; width: 250px;" width="250" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><img data-file-id="4344877" height="250" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/07a5c40e-63ed-43c4-bb56-5fde5fb28598.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: mediumblue; display: inline; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; height: 250px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-align: justify; width: 250px;" width="250" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span><img data-file-id="4344869" height="250" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/bf6d9db9-9f4a-4615-92bd-820329380057.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: mediumblue; display: inline; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; height: 250px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-align: justify; width: 250px;" width="250" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> Hello Friends,</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> We have been home just over a week now from our month in Europe and I am settling into a routine, putting away luggage, and mulling over my time spent in Romania. This trip was different from any other and I needed time to sort out the blessings from the disappointments.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> After one of the worst travel experiences I have ever had, we arrived in Romania at 3 AM on June 20th. All I can say is my children and our nanny were troopers! Our transport driver waited over 6 hours for our flight to arrive, which was such a blessing and our Airbnb hosts smilingly let us into our apartment in the middle of their sleep. Alina, my dear friend and employee woke up and brought all my bags of necessities from our supply room to us, along with the groceries I had requested for the next day! I have never been so grateful of the kindness of others!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> My paperwork had been submitted to the hospital requesting that I be allowed to work in the hospital as usual, as well as, another request asking if we would be allowed to stay on in the hospital after the contract expired in October. While waiting for someone from the hospital to give us answers, we left for Sibiu to check out the hospital there! We were greeted warmly and our request for the November Service Team was again granted so we are cleared to bring over the group of six women committed to the trip! This was great news and so encouraging! </span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> We played with the three babies that were in the hospital over the next two days and I was able to meet with both our workers there and talk with them! I especially enjoyed taking my children shopping to buy books and toys that our part time maternal assistant could use!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> Back in Oradea, we continued to wait to hear from the hospital about my status. I was able to tour several of the foundations we assist, visit with the directors, and once again see first hand the wonderful work they are doing! I was even able to track down a little boy that I have cared for in the hospital a couple of times in his village! Seeing his sweet, patient face made me cry and my children were thrilled to see him again after having held him three years ago in the hospital. It made my heart glad to see even with all his physical disabilities, just how loved and protected he was by the village family.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> I had a bout of sickness and after recovering and still not having any answers from the hospital, I decided to go myself. We had been told that the Manager does not give audiences to anyone, even his own doctors, but I prayed and asked the Lord for favor and any decision so that we could proceed. Amazingly, the Manager himself came in. He decided that I could no longer work in the hospital as the children are not abandoned any more (</span><em style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">which for some is not true</em><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">), that it would be illegal for me to care for the children without releases from the parents (</span><em style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">though his own hospital staff can rarely get a signature from the parents as they NEVER see them</em><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">), and furthermore, he would not sign the contract again in October, though we would be permitted to stay until then (</span><em style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">with our employee apparently working illegally without releases from the parents</em><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">). It was sad, but what I had expected from him. He has many progressive ideas, of which, I can agree with, but his ignorance on this subject and the fear that the hospital personnel is under is sad to see.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> I barely bought any hospital supplies this trip, but only what we would need for the next four months. If this is a closed door then we will start searching out other projects and places to help. My only concern is for the hospital staff and babies that are left in the hospital without help and for our employee, Alina, as her job will be ending and we need to find something else for 2/3rds of her time. Please join us in praying for solutions to these problems and wisdom and guidance for the Board and I over these next few months.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> Overall, the trip went well, but was just different and a little confusing. Thank you for all of your support and encouragement! Please feel free to check us out on Instagram and Facebook where you will fins updates and pictures from the trip.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> Many Blessings,</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> Mona</span><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><a href="http://www.projecthopeforthechildren.org/" style="background-color: white; color: #336699; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" target="_blank"><img data-file-id="4056565" height="187" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/_compresseds/73e3a2b8-9be5-4847-a47c-6fd8008057d6.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline; height: 187px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; width: 250px;" width="250" /></a><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span><img data-file-id="4056557" height="187" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/_compresseds/1443cda6-d2f9-4f2d-a284-a37cd7971888.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: mediumblue; display: inline; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; height: 187px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-align: justify; width: 250px;" width="250" /><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><img data-file-id="4056541" height="187" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/7f163c62-dd9d-4fe9-a4e1-f7b87ee26d1a.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: mediumblue; display: inline; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; height: 187px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-align: justify; width: 250px;" width="250" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="http://www.projecthopeforthechildren.org/" style="background-color: white; color: #336699; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" target="_blank"><img data-file-id="4056561" height="187" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/_compresseds/6a798027-5c5e-458f-9937-764b32c7e3ff.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline; height: 187px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; width: 250px;" width="250" /></a><br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" /><img data-file-id="4056549" height="187" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/_compresseds/02dab2f4-9938-4833-acc4-2bc125a9d059.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: mediumblue; display: inline; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; height: 187px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-align: justify; width: 250px;" width="250" /><span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span><img data-file-id="4056553" height="187" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/bad1ca10a963f2109a2a8479a/images/e7dbc7cf-dced-4a59-9e07-9df19b353ea0.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: mediumblue; display: inline; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; height: 187px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-align: justify; width: 250px;" width="250" /><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Hello Friends!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> It has been such a busy last two months with speaking engagements, our Mother Daughter Tea, planning our November Service Trip with our wonderful group of 6 ladies, and preparing for my work trip to Romania! I have met so many new friends and have enjoyed spreading the word about what Project Hope for the Children is doing!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> I want to thank everyone for coming to out first Tea! We had a great turnout of about 75 people, excellent reviews, and some great input that will we use in our next tea! If you want to see the pictures, please go to our Facebook page listed below to see yours!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> Tomorrow, I am leaving for three weeks in Romania! I am so excited to be going back "home"! This year, the children and my cousin will be accompanying me again and my husband will join us later on for a vacation in the UK afterwards! Though, I am going with eagerness, I also have some anxiousness. We are uncertain about our future in the hospital in Oradea and I need to approach the Manager of the hospital about our contract, which is up in October. If that is not a possibility, we need another project to place our employee, Alina in.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Please, read our prayer needs below and keep us close in heart.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">* Safe and expedient travels with the children</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">* A softened heart of the hospital manager</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">* Clear direction on our hospital work in Oradea</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">* Health- Katie is already suffering from allergies and my fibromyalgia has been very painful and exhausting lately.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">* We are a blessing to the other foundations that we partner with.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: mediumblue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">As always, I will be posting updates on our Facebook and Instagram pages so you can follow our journey! Thank you for your support and interest! We are so grateful to every one of you!</span><br />

Happy St. Patrick's Day Everyone!<br /><br /> While I do not have any claim to the Irish, I can say that St Patrick himself was a wonderful role model of <em>humbleness and forgiveness</em> that everyone should copy and I like to teach my children how to emulate him in those ways. If you are of Irish descent, I hope you are enjoying your day!<br /><br /> Anyway, I am popping on to write this email today as we are <strong><u>halfway</u></strong> through the month and our <strong><em>March Madness Fundraiser.</em></strong> Donations are trickling in and we are so grateful to all of you, who have taken the time to sit down and send in your donation! <em>Any</em> and <em>All</em>donations are so crucial and we are encouraged when we see yours~ Thank you!<br /><br /> If you haven't been able to send one in yet, don't feel bad as there is still time! You can donate through Facebook, our website, and the old fashioned way of sending a check to PHFTC 6983 Chase Rd, Fabius, NY 13063.<br /><br />And here is where some of that money goes for: <u><strong>Travel</strong></u>! My traveling to and from Romania can be expensive and I am going <u>twice </u>this year. (<em>Once for my normal work trip and once to lead a small team of women over to hold babies at our Sibiu Hospital and to bless some of the other foundations we partner with. Let me know if you are interested in going</em>) Last year,travel made up <strong>16%</strong> of our budget. We need to pay for airfare, transportation across the border into Romania, Airbnb housing, rental car, food, etc. We shop for the best deals and our conscientious of our money, but still it requires several thousand to make the trips happen.<br /><br />Here is an excerpt from 2018's expenses for a two-week work trip:<br /><br /> <em>Airline flight- $1300<br /> Car Rental- $460<br /> Fuel- $185<br /> Housing- $725<br /> Meals- $642<br /> Taxi- $120<br /> Other Travel Expenses - $220</em><br /><br />I am staying longer this year, which will allow me more time in each hospital location, with our employees, our partner foundations, and in the shopping of supplies so you understand that that the cost will be more. If you would like to help us meet this budget need, we would so appreciate it!<br /><br />Thank you for your support and interest!<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />Mona</div>
