Story

Thanks you for visiting our JustGiving page for the orphanage in Peris, Romania! 

Back in 2017 FAST UK Charity received a email regarding the potential for setting up an orphanage, from Attila Toth a good freind and the Pastor at Reghin Baptist Church. You can read the message bellow.

 ‘Over the years we have had significant problems with housing homeless children. This situation can arise for various reasons. The reason these children end up as ‘orphans’ isn’t just because their parents have died. It may be that parents abandon their children, are forced to work far away or even go to prison. This then leaves us in the situation where we have children asking us if they cancome and live with us in our homes. This is not possible in our present circumstances. 

In view of these issues we have for a number of years been thinking; what can we do for these children? After much prayer and thought we felt that the best thing is for us to have a home specially
for children in those these situations. The home will have house parents living there so that these children have a father and mother figure.

The present situation is as follows. The external structure of the orphanage building has now been
almost completed. We still have to put the roof on but I think I have enough money to finish that. After the roof is on the expert says I am not even half way in the cost of building. So any support is very needed. We expect our house parents to be able to move in next year if we could finish. It depends if we will have support (Our first children will move in shortly after that). Our next challenge
after that will be the running cost because we will need almost 200 euros per child per moths if we
count all the cost. 

Thank you very much for your love and for you
support toward our work’ with love and thanks,
Attila

After receiving this message FAST UK Charity wanted to help and visited the orphanage with some volunteers in September 2017 to help towards the work that needed doing, we completed the ceiling/floor of the first level which was a big help, and since then thanks to the generosity of you amazing people lots of progress has been made! When we left the first level was just a shell with a ceiling and floor but now there are now the main structure finished, windows and doors in, a roof and electrics are now beginning to go in. As a Charity we would love to help Attila reach his target of helping children move into a safe, warm, loving home by the end of 2018 by helping cover some of the costs of the building, to give you a rough idea a window costs around £100 and a door £200.

Thank you once again from all of the FAST UK Trustees and on behalf of all who this Orphanage will be helping, no matter how small the donation it will be much appreciated!
