| Our personal message: |
In 1989, the Romanian people tore their country free from 40 years of communist dictatorship. Recovery from this brutal regime is a slow process and 45% of ’s 22 million people still live in poverty – a statistic we are more used to seeing in the third world than for one of our European neighbours.
People suffering life-threatening or terminal illnesses such as advanced cancer or AIDS are particularly vulnerable to poorly funded services and anyone diagnosed with a terminal illness, is likely to be sent home from hospital to die without any support or adequate pain relief. Romania’s neighbours such as and fare no better. So, in 1992, Hospices of Hope introduced hospice and palliative care services into the region for the first time. Through setting up partner organisations in and, Hospices of Hope have improved the quality of life for over 7,000 such patients, but help is needed to continue this essential work.
Many, many thanks for your donation. Lots of love George
