Adrian left the orphanage two years ago. He was abandoned in the maternity by his parents, ashamed of his disabilities. Adrian was born without his left arm having a wolf- mouth and hare-lip. The boy lived in a placement center in Agnita, and because of his age (28) he was thrown out from the orphanage.
Wearing a pair of blue jeans and a jacket on top of a thick blouse, Adrian is keeping his left sleeve in his pocket, to mask his infirmity. He is 26 years old, and he is the first born in the family of a famous Romanian gymnast, multiple European champion. His life seems incredible. We cannot say that his life is a movie scenario, because in this case, no writer would be so unfair with his character.
He was born with a wolf-mouth, hare lip and his left arm is missing. His right hand has only the one finger. He suffered a surgical intervention, but the doctors cannot make miracles. His parents abandoned him in the maternity, and at the age of 6 he was brought to the Placement center for orphans in Agnita (60 km from Sibiu).
His fate continued to be cruel to him: Adrian fell down and, because of his missing arm a banal fall became a terrible accident: falling with the head on a fence, a wire destroyed his left eye. At the age of 7, he suffered a triple fracture of the left leg and now he has problems in walking.
His parents happily continued their lives, pretending that Adrian never existed. They have four other children and they NEVER visited him. Adrian knows that he has a family, and not a common one, it is the family of a famous Romanian gymnast. The other boys from the orphanage, his friends, say that it was better for him not to know, because finding out he felt more rejected.
What impressed me at this boy, is that he does not hate his family, he does not blame them for their decision, he does not ask for explanations, but you cannot ignore the sadness in his eyes. We decided NOT TO GIVE DETAILS ABOUT HIS FAMILY, but to mention the people WHO HELPED HIM.
Our gratitude to Boogers family from Holland!!!!
You have offered Adrian not only the chance to finish the school by paying him the tuition fees, but also you have offered him the possibility to stay for two more years in the state's care.
In such poor countries as Romania, a person like Adrian has probably no chance to survive without any help. His salary covers only the basic needs but he cannot afford to rent a room. (He is working in a small city near Sibiu in a huge Bread factory. He is checking the ID’s of the people entering the firm’s property. The firm manager helps a lot of deinstitutionalized boys by offering them jobs. He is also paying summer camps to the Romanian seaside to all the children from the Placement Centre Agnita where Adrian grew up. Adrian earns 72 euros monthly.
Thank you Bertie and Ida Jansen, Anita van de Moll for supporting Adrian!!!!
If you can provide us any kind of help, for Adrian or for the other people to whom we are offering support, we would very much appreciate any kind of support. Any amount of money, as well as any advice for us will be welcome
