Andreea, a 16-year-old girl diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at a young age, lost her mother just before Easter last year.
This tragedy intensified her deep-seated fears and feelings of isolation. She relies heavily on her grandfather, who tirelessly supports and guides her through life's challenges.
Despite her struggles, Andreea's grandfather ensures she receives vital support from a UNICEF-backed Integrated Community Centre. Through this initiative, Andreea accesses free of charge various therapies and activities, accompanied by her devoted grandfather. This support has led to noticeable improvements in Andreea's emotional well-being and communication skills.
For Andreea's grandfather, battling cancer, his granddaughter's future serves as a beacon of hope, motivating him to fight his illness. He understands the importance of preparing Andreea for a life without him, and the services provided by the Community Centre play a crucial role in this preparation.
Your support is crucial for Andreea and children in similar situations to access essential community services. Every donation contributes to easing their lives. Without your help, many children, like Andreea, miss out on vital medical, social, and educational support, including specialized therapies.
