Casa Rebeca...

Casa Rebeca is the last group home of ours to introduce to you... This home was actually the first one that we opened nearly three years ago! This group of kids has been with us the longest and relates the most like a real family... loving and protecting each other while fighting like brothers and sisters other times. It has been great to see them come together over the years. God has softened hearts, healed hurts and grown bonds for many of these. There are still needs emotionally for some and physically for others, but all of them have made amazing progress!

Casa Rebeca is the largest of our group homes with 11 children. There are several family groups of natural siblings in Casa Rebeca, just as in our other houses...


The Darvas family includes Levi, Zsofia & Kati. They are from a Hungarian background and all attend Hungarian school. This means that they learn not only Hungarian, but Romanian, English and often another language in school. This can be difficult to say the least!


These beautiful girls are the Ionas sisters. Krisztina is athletic and spunky... she has a great sense of humor. Emese is a little princess. She and Eniko, her oldest sister, both love to draw and have one on one time with others. They are not big crowd people, but could sit and chat for hours.


Then there are the Musta brothers... Geza & Bella are both wonderful boys and are different in most ways. While Geza is usually off in his own little world figuring out how something works or drawing detailed drawings, Bella prefers to be right in the middle of any action he can find.


Marian and Stefan are not actually natural siblings, but they have a very special big brother/little brother relationship. Stefan always wants to do everything just like Marian and when Stefan wanted to try out for a soccer team, Marian spent extra time working with him on his skills. They are the oldest and youngest in the house, but have a very close bond.


Anna is also at Casa Rebeca with no natural siblings. Although she does not have any natural siblings or connection with her natural family, she certainly is a part of one big family here at Casa Rebeca.

Please pray for the children at Casa Rebeca as they grow and mature. Pray that we will be wise in helping them transition from childhood to independence in the right ways and at the right times. Pray that God will continue to draw them to Himself. Pray that those with a relationship with Him already will continue to seek him and grow. Pray that God would draw the others into a real and personal relationship with Himself.

If you are interested in joining the sponsorship team for one of these children at Casa Rebeca, please contact kelly@livada.org or visit our website at www.livada.org.
Thank you!
