Hello, my name is Jaime Sánchez, I am 6 years old and I came to live in Exodo with my 3 siblings. My parents used to drink a lot of alcohol and when they were drunk, they would fight with each other and sometimes they would hit us too.

 Romania’s fifty years of communist dictatorial rule
ended in 1989 leaving a legacy of hardship and ushering
in a difficult transition period of social restructuring.
The
years of post-communism have brought extreme economic
and social adversity, severely affecting the lives of
the most vulnerable population--children
Approximately
100,000 children live in state orphanages and foster care

Places
of Hope International is committed to helping the children
of Romania. The legacy of communism and the restructuring
in its aftermath has left a breadth of social and economic
dysfunction that affects children on every level. Many
children have been abandoned and although are living in
state orphanages, the lack of material resources and appropriate
healthcare have stifled their natural and healthy development.
Dismal conditions in the state hospitals and few healthy
alternatives force children to seek solace on the streets,
where they fall prey to drugs and the emerging epidemic
of child sex traffickers.

Places of Hope
is working with children’s ministries in Romania
to offer refuge and hope to children who have been otherwise
forgotten by society. We see the value in each and every
life and work to bring hope to these impoverished and
discarded children. With your support we are able to
care for thousands of children; giving food, shelter,
education, healthcare and best of all---hope for the
future.
