An Appeal for support for Alina

Marius the leader of the San Nicolau Kid's Club and Music School has brought to our attention an appeal for help for Alina Zsiga.  Trustees Irene, Wayne and Christine have  all met Alina and  seen her commitment to the Club and recognise  her  "calling". 

Alina is 18 years old and lives with her parents and 6 siblings in the village of Tisa-Noua near Arad in Western Romania.    She is a regular at the “Jesus Generation” Club and Music School where she plays guitar, sings and is part of the leadership team.  Her father has spent long periods out of work and her mother is confined to the home caring for one of her sisters who has a psychiatric illness.  The family struggle to survive financially.

Alina works hard and has just graduated from a  Pentecostal Theological School in Arad and wants to continue her studies by doing a 3 year social work degree in the Emanuel University in Oradea.   However her family are not in a position to financially support her.   

In her own words “As part of a large family, taking care of my little brothers and my sick sister I learned what it means to show kindness, love and to make sacrifices.  I understand the “calling”  of people who dedicate their lives to the welfare of those with physical or psychiatric problems. God put in me His love and I want to give away that love to people in need in a social foundation establishment”.  

The Charity is able to cover Alina’s tuition fees but we are looking to raise a further £504 a year to cover her accommodation and food expenses.   If you feel it on your heart to help by either giving a monthly sum by standing order or by giving a “one off” donation  then please contact Irene.  Any amount, large or small will help Alina fulfil her dream and give her a positive future.   


We appreciate your support
