The 4 Little Girls

It's been a bit since I've updated you on the 4 little girls whose Mom died. If you don't know what I'm talking about look through my blog history for one titled "When a gyspy dies."
The situation has kind of been at a stand still lately so I dropped by Casa Alba to talk to Lidia, the director, about the future of the girls. She filled me in on some really cool and hopeful things this morning in regards to these girls.

1. Child Protection is going to make the father sign over all the girls, not just the younger three.
2. Lidia wants to find a foster family that will take 3 of the girls so that they can stay together!
3. The severely handicapped daughter, Alina, can go to Casa Silvia (our group home for handicapped children) if "I" can raise the financial support.

Wow, wow, wow. All of these are HUGE praises! Lidia ended the conversation with "Think you can get the money for all of this?" I went "Let me get the word out and see how people respond!" So, the word is out. I'm guessing the costs for this will be about $250-$300/month.
The three going into a foster family will be able to do this through Child Protection and Romania will pay their salary, not the foundation. The $250-$300 would be for Alina to have a spot in our group home. Casa Silvia is an incredible place for the 6 children who can live there. It's run by one of our permanent volunteers and Romanians are employed to work and play with the kids when they aren't in school. Alina's future, she's 3 now, could drastically change for the better being in an environment where people understand the depth of her disabilities and want to help improve her way of life!
