In our May issue, we shared that our Casa Dorca children have an urgent need.
The local businessman who has previously supplied the children’s home with about $10,000 worth of firewood each year saw a drastic reduction in business during the pandemic and was unable to make the usual donation this year.
It is important that Casa Dorca have the wood by summertime so that it has time to dry out. This ensures the boiler system will not be damaged.
Supporters have given about 80 cubic meters of the 200 cubic meters needed.

“It is important that we receive or purchase the remaining 120 cubic meters soon so that it can dry out through the summer,” the home’s Director, Ionel Lovescu writes.
The amount needed to purchase the remaining 120 cubic meters is around $6,000USD. This need is both urgent and dire.
