Rise Together Romania

 

Located in the North-Central city of Targu Mures, Romania,

the mission and work of RISE TOGETHER

is to empower vulnerable children by helping them rise as strong followers of Christ,

heal from trauma, and have a lasting and positive impact on society as adults.

 

Even though Romania became a free nation in 1989 and things have improved in the country,

Romanian orphans still face a terrible plight and rarely receive the care they need.

 

Nearly all of these children have suffered trauma at the hands of family members, only to suffer additional trauma when they get relegated to a system marked by a lack of dignity toward the “unwanted”.

Most have endured emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, and all have suffered from a severe sense of neglect.

 

Rise Together is out to change that and help traumatized orphans rise up from the ashes because they’ve been cared for, loved, and given their hope back.

 

This year – to continue that mission – Rise Together has built a center for orphaned youth, so the youth can have a healthy place to be and get the care and trauma healing they need.

 

We got to contribute to the center and it is coming together beautifully!

       

 

We are delighted to support Rise Together through Healthbridge Global

and hope you will join us in helping Romania’s orphans

rise up, heal, and make a difference in their country!
