Meet Raluca Tuli from the Point of Hope!

Raluca Tuli at the Point of Hope

Raluca Tuli was born on May 24, 2010 in Targu Mures.  Her parents are legally married and she has one brother, Raul, who is 8. 

Raluca lives with her parents in a house built by them out of second hand construction materials they found on the site of the old chemical plant or they were able to buy from others. The home has two rooms and a hallway and both rooms are furbished. The mother is employed at a factory that makes electrical parts in a nearby town, while the father tries to find day jobs in construction.  The family’s income consists of the mother’s monthly paycheck of about $232 USD and the child support from the government which amounts up to $24 USD each month.

The parents are involved in Raluca’s education so they make sure that she comes to Point of Hope every day, unless she is sick. 

Raluca is a well behaved and slightly introvert child.  She chooses to play in small groups of 2 or 3.  However she is obedient, receptive and she shows much interest in the class activities.  She colors beautifully.  She enjoys coming to Point of Hope, which is why, based on what her mother said, she is the first one in the family to wake up in the morning, in order to make sure that she is not late for the van to pick her up.  This is her first year at Point of Hope.

The sponsorship of a child through Another Child Foundation is surprisingly simple, and the effects your sponsorship will have on a child is dramatic. Supporting an at-risk child in one of our 2 programs enables our staff members to not only provide for their educational & physical needs, but will provide HOPE for the child as the staff mentors the child. By providing the LOVE of God to the child, the child’s self-esteem will soar as they develop into the person God has created them to be. Without the assistance of generous people these children will continue to live in the “darkness” they we born into. To learn more about Child Sponsorship CLICK HERE.
