Tatiana’s days are packed with chores. “From Monday to Friday, I do my schoolwork, help my grandmother cook, and feed the goats,” she says. On weekends, the whole family cleans the house and works in the garden. “We rake leaves, chop firewood, and bring in the harvest. There’s always something to do, especially in autumn.”

Despite her busy schedule, Tatiana finds time to draw, knit, and make bracelets, which brings her some joy amidst her hard work.

Tatiana’s mother hasn’t been around for a long time. “The last time I saw my mother was last winter. She promised to return for my birthday, but she never came,” Tatiana remembers sadly. For her, her grandmother Elena is a true mother figure, teaching her crafts and sharing special moments.

Life became a bit brighter for Tatiana when Mission Without Borders started supporting her family. “When Mr. Pavel and Boris from the Mission visit us, I feel so happy,” Tatiana says with a smile. “They bring us food, clothes, and even gifts. Mr. Pavel also helps with firewood for the winter.”

Tatiana’s first summer camp experience with Mission Without Borders was a joyful break from her daily routine. “I loved the camp with water balloons, music, and crafts,” she recalls. The camp gave her a chance to be a carefree child and learn about Jesus, filling her with hope and happiness.

Pavel, a Mission worker, sees the positive impact of their support: “When Elena and Mihai receive help, it’s like a breath of fresh air. It gives them hope and strength. I’m glad the Mission is a friend to Tatiana and her family.”

Boris, another Mission worker, adds, “We started working in this village recently and enrolled several children in our sponsorship program. We hope to open a church and activity center soon, where children can get help with their homework, have fun, and learn about God.”
