Madalin

Madalin Simon has been in Livada's care for a little over two years. He is the older brother of Daniel & Sergiu Simon who are also in our care. These three brothers have had a hard young life. Madalin began his time with us at Casa Nadia. It became clear though after a time that due some of his past hurts and abuse that he needed a different environment than the group home could provide. Zoli & Nico Mursa who have worked with Livada for several years, stepped in to provide a foster care setting for Madalin. This more structured environment and family setting has allowed Madalin to make progress in his behavioral difficulties and respect for authority. Pray that this will continue.


Nico says that in recent weeks Madalin has shown a much more calm nature and they have had less behavioral issues with him. She shared that his love for soccer continues to grow and what a good outlet it is for him both physically and socially. She hopes that they will be able to place him on a soccer team. He enjoys playing with the neighbors around their apartment building when he has free time, but much time is spent on school work as he is in fourth grade this year and there is a lot of studying to do with him to help him keep up. This past week was a fall break from school and Zoli, Nico & Madalin were able to spend more family time and even got a new soccer ball, so that they could all go out and play together.


Please continue to pray for Madalin and these two young "parents" who have taken this young man with many hurts and issues into their home and are raising him and helping him to overcome his past and have hope for his future.
