Mother Theresa once said, "Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin." One of the newest couples to the Orasul Sperantei/City of Hope family, Catalin and Dani N., have taken those words to heart and have begun their own "family" by opening their hearts and home to three of Romania's orphaned and abandoned children.

**Michael (pictured left with Dani) was left abandoned and alone in a Bucharest hospital maternity ward. He was rescued from one of these wards by Orasul Sperantei/City of Hope and was placed in our new Village of Hope Baby House. Newly married last year and without children of their own, Dani and Catalin have brought not only Marius into their home, but two other boys as well.

**Steven came to Orasul Sperantei/City of Hope, along with three other boys, from an orphanage that shut down over a year ago and that our organization formerly assisted. Little **Christopher was abandoned and living on the streets until he was taken into our project over a year-and-a-half ago. Michael and Steven, and soon  little  Christopher,  will now have a  "mom"

and a "dad", a place to call home and the love, affection and nurturing that is so critical to their well-being and growth into healthy, productive members of their society.

None of this would be possible without you, our donors! You are daily helping us to change lives and bring hope and healing to so many hurting children and families. Thank you so much for your support! With the words of Mother Theresa in mind...we have only today, let us begin!
