THE BRATCA HOSPITAL
ORPHANAGE
The Bratca Hospital Orphanage is a happier place today than when The
Smiles Foundation was first made aware of it. In October 2002, a telephone
call came through to the Smiles office from a Christian doctor, visiting
the hospital as part of his regular monthly routine work. He worked for
the Romanian State Health Authority.
As a result of extreme financial pressures on the Romanian State, the
Hospital’s budget had been cut. The residents, all severely mentally and
physically challenged, were very cold as the heating system had run out of
fuel and they were eating dry bread for every meal as no money was
available for food.
The Smiles Foundation asked its Supporters to help and following a
wonderful response, the Foundation began regular delivery of food and
replaced the entire heating system with a more efficient and economical
facility.
Since the urgency of the situation was resolved, the Smiles Foundation has
continued its support with repairing and replacing Baths, Showers and
Toilets and has built a ‘Day Centre’ for the residents to enjoy during the
long harsh winters.
Smiles has also purchased several cows to assist the Hospital with fresh
milk and meat along with supplying all the wood needed for the 6 months of
heating requirements during October to March each year.
The initial ‘emergency’ appeal was very well supported. Now we need
regular monthly support to maintain the commitment to these children of
God who can only look to others for help.
