For many children, a new school year brings excitement and hope. For others, it brings worry because they cannot afford even basic school supplies. If you are moved to help, donations can be made at https://www.spcharity.org/donate/ with the designation “school” Through the “Little Backpack of Superheroes” campaign, Saint Paraskeva Orthodox Charity and Saint Nicholas College in Iași aim to help 200 children from the parishes of Budești, Vladomira, and Gârceni start school. Each child will receive a backpack filled with essential school supplies (notebooks, pens, pencils, coloured pencils, markers, erasers, sharpeners, rulers, pencil cases, drawing supplies). The cost of a fully equipped backpack is $35 USD. A backpack is more than a gift. It tells a child: “You are not alone. We believe in you. Your dreams matter.” Will you sponsor a backpack today? A gift of $35 equips one child for the entire school year. Every donation, large or small, brings hope and opportunity to a child in need. Support the back to school campaign! Thank you for your kindness, and may God bless you!

Sometimes, life puts us face to face with battles that seem impossible to win. Laura is going through one of the hardest of them all: a cancer diagnosis. But her story is not about illness. It is about the extraordinary strength to keep living. We humbly ask for your continued support by making a donation at https://www.spcharity.org/donate/ and selecting “Laura” as the designation. More than once, Laura has looked death in the eye and overcome it. She has shown doctors that miracles do happen and that the desire to stay close to those we love can defy even the bleakest prognosis. But today, this fighter needs our help. Her body is exhausted from so many “battles,” yet her spirit remains unbroken. Laura wants to keep fighting, to see her family every day and to stay close to the people she loves. Every share and every small financial contribution can make a tremendous difference during this critical time. Let us be the “miracle” she needs right now to overcome these hardships once again. Thank you and God Bless!

Constantina lives in a village near Galați and is the mother of three children. She is now four months pregnant with her fourth child. Her life is a constant struggle. If you are moved to help, donations can be made at https://www.spcharity.org/donate/ with the designation “ROUA.” Her 3-year-old daughter suffers from epilepsy and experiences frequent severe seizures that require constant care and supervision. Her middle son also faces health challenges, and the family's daily life revolves almost entirely around hospital visits, treatments, and caring for the children. Just last week, Constantina had to attend both a prenatal checkup and take her daughter to the hospital after the little girl suffered prolonged, difficult-to-control convulsions. Because of her children's medical needs, Constantina is unable to work, and the support she receives from her husband is uncertain, as he repeatedly comes and goes. Since ROUA met this family, they tried to stand beside them through regular support, providing grocery vouchers, a monthly survival package, and clothing for the entire family. Please donate so that ROUA will continue supporting them throughout the pregnancy and after the baby is born, offering financial, material, and social assistance so that Constantina does not have to carry this burden alone. Thank you and God Bless!

A couple of days ago, family, friends, and all who knew and loved Mihai Cucu gathered to say their final farewell to him. He was called home to the Lord far too soon, at just 35 years old. He leaves behind his wife, Adriana Cucu, and their three young children, ages 2, 5, and 7, who now need our support and compassion more than ever. If you feel moved to help, please consider making a donation at https://www.spcharity.org/donate/ with the designation “Mihai” to support this family during this heartbreaking time. Every contribution, no matter the amount, can provide relief, hope, and stability as Adriana and her children face the difficult days ahead. Thank you for your prayers, kindness, and generosity. May God bless and reward every act of compassion, and may He grant comfort and strength to the Cucu family in their great loss. 🙏❤️

This family consists of two parents and 11 children, ranging in age from 11 to 30, living in Vladomira (Iași County), Romania. Together, they share two small houses and face daily hardships, including the lack of running water in their home. If you feel moved to help ease their burden, donations can be made at https://www.spcharity.org/donate/ with the designation “11kids” Their only income comes from farming and the children's allowances, which are far from enough to provide for such a large family. Despite these struggles, many of the children faithfully attend school and dream of building a better future, but poverty makes every step of that journey more difficult. Each day brings new challenges. Too often, even putting a simple meal on the table is a struggle. They need: food, clothes and shoes, school supplies, basic necessities. Any support, no matter how small, can bring hope and relief to this family. Together, we can help lighten their burden and give these children the opportunity, stability, and future they deserve. Thank you and God bless!
