"12 years ago, as a child, shy and hopeful, I was passing into a new house ... this was Casa Ray. Here I made many friends I considered my brothers and sisters, but here I met also those who took care of us, who were the first people I really thought as my mom and dad.

            "Now I'm 21 years old and currently living in England, but I remember it was a beautiful day in the summer of 2001, when together with my younger brother, Petru Sandu, we entered the gates of  Casa Ray. We did not know what to expect, but since the first day I felt a warm welcome. I was only 7 years old, but had lived so many stories before, that I feel I am grown-up and no longer a child.

           “Although my parents abandoned me and left me an orphan, God took care to give me another chance in May and a new family, "Father Mihai and mother Tatiana."

We all, the employees, the volunteers and all the children of Casa Ray, entered the new year good, healthy and cheerful.
