You can transform the life of a Romanian child that suffered abuse or neglect by giving safety, love, and hope at the AMURTEL Family home.

You can offer the gift of precious happy childhood memories to Geani*, who came to AMURTEL Family was taken out of his home after his mother was hospitalized after a particularly violent beating. Like most of the children in the care of AMURTEL Family, both parents were severely alcoholic and were neglecting their responsibilities to keep the children safe, well-fed, and going to school.   Now, in AMURTEL Family, Geani is blossoming.  He is an active child, very intelligent, and articulate.  He loves to play soccer and is best friends with Andrei, with who he shares his bedroom. 

Geani had never received gifts for Christmas or his birthday had never gone on a vacation to the seaside or even been out of the village where he was born.   Your gift will give these experiences and more to Geani.  Many of us take for granted that all children deserve simple childhood experiences of carefree joy.  Yet they can be so healing and transformative for a child that was mistreated, and you can be the one to make that possible.

Seeing his joy will fill your heart up with satisfaction!  Once you make a gift, we will invite you to stay in touch with regular photos and news from the home.  To be part of Geani's ongoing growth and development, you can set up a distance adoption. 

When you join our AMURTEL Family of supporters, you will receive:

• A welcome package, to help you to get to know the child you are sponsoring
• A regular donor newsletter, keeping you up to date with the activities and progress in the home and after-school center
• An invitation to join the Facebook group or Whatsapp group exclusively for sponsors, sharing videos, photos, and posts
• An annual greeting with recent photos of your child and an update on his or her progress
• The opportunity to send holiday gifts and letters or messages – which the children love to get!
• Invitations to visit the home during special events – like our “Play Days” or to online events

Thank you so much for choosing to be a part of Geani's life!
