Warm Feet, Warm Hearts: Protecting Romania’s Children from the Cold

At Livada Orphan Care, we believe that every child deserves warmth, security, and the chance to focus on their education without the challenges of harsh weather. In January 2025, we had the privilege of making a tangible difference in the lives of children in Lascud and Ogra through Livada’s Project Warm Feet.

A Step Towards Comfort in Lascud

In the small village of Lascud, where unpaved roads turn into muddy obstacles during rainy days, children from kindergarten through 4th grade often face a challenging journey to school. Thanks to your generous support and our incredible partners at Metro Ministries Romania, we provided rubber boots to these little ones. Now, the cold and mud will no longer stand in their way, and they can walk to school with confidence and joy!

Overcoming Mud in Ogra

Meanwhile, in Ogra, knee-deep mud was a daily struggle for children in grades 0-4. But yesterday, that changed! Through Project Warm Feet, we equipped every child with a sturdy pair of rubber boots. Their excitement was contagious as they realized that rain or shine, they could now walk safely and comfortably to school.

Your Impact Makes a Difference!

Through your donations, you have ensured that these children can move forward—literally and figuratively—towards a brighter future. This is more than just a pair of boots; it’s an act of love and care that reminds them they are not alone.

And this is just the beginning. As we look ahead, we are preparing for our next outreach in Aushusha, where we will distribute clothing to children in need as the seasons change.

Thank you for stepping up to provide warmth, comfort, and hope. Your generosity keeps their feet dry and their hearts full!

Moments of Joy in Ogra: Bringing Smiles and Comfort to Children

In the quiet village of Ogra, Livada Orphan Care recently delivered moments of joy and hope to children in need. Packages filled with essential hygiene items and cozy winter accessories—hats, gloves, and scarves—were thoughtfully distributed to help them through the cold days ahead. These gifts, though simple, carried immense meaning. The smiles on the children’s faces and the light in their eyes spoke volumes about the impact of these small but significant acts of kindness. For many, these packages are more than just practical items—they are a heartfelt reminder that they are cared for and not forgotten. Livada Orphan Care is committed to bringing hope and love to vulnerable children, ensuring they feel valued and supported. Moments like these showcase the power of community and generosity in changing lives. Want to help make a difference? Share this story and join Livada’s mission to spread kindness and transform lives. Together, one smile at a time, we can create a brighter future for these children.
