Working with people always requires special effort and a big heart.
Every day we listen, support, look for solutions in difficult situations, offer guidance, and simply stay close.
But we also know: it’s not always possible to help in every situation.

Ludmila, 66, from Odesa, lives in Bucharest alone. A knee injury and worsening vision make walking painful. Without a registered address she can’t access disability support, and she’s often forced to move. Sometimes she goes hungry. It is hard. She has no one to turn to.

Pentru noi, înseamnă faptul că demnitatea și drepturile nu sunt negociabile, niciodată, pentru nimeni. Vedem cât de repede frica dezumanizează, iar memoria Holocaustului ne obligă să reacționăm la ură.
