BACKGROUND

Link to Hope supports a feeding project in the village of Pervomaiscoe called the Inn of Love 2. It is run by Pastor Ion and his team.  This village is 20 mins drive away from the main village we have been supporting in Moldova which is Dancu.  This is where the Inn of Love 1 was first established.  When Pastor Ion visited Dancu he could see the need to help feed the elderly who had no one to take care of them.

The church at Pervoimascoe had a burden to help the 40 or so elderly and disabled people in their community. We were able to help them to set up the Inn of Love 2.  They want to reach out and help those in their village who are the poorest and most marginalised.

HOW IT WORKS

They cook the food in the top floor of the church where the Inn of Love 2 is based.  People who are able come to the Inn to eat and to meet up with others. However there is a number of elderly who simply cannot leave their houses due to disabilities. Therefore some of the  team go out and make deliveries to the people in their houses. Here are just a few of the people that are receiving food in these trying and testing times and the team going and buying the food and products. Thank you to everyone that supports this project.

Due to health problems Turcanu cannot move easily. When we go with food to her, she eagerly awaits us and greets us with a smile on her face. She thanks us as we step on the threshold with a warm and tasty lunch. “Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, those in England and those on the spot, for taking care of new elders in Moldova. God bless you always.”

When we go to visit Olga, she tells us what she has done and that she knows she is not alone. “God is by my side” she tells us. “Thank you very much for having a big heart for the elderly in Moldova, this warm and tasty lunch is welcome on our tables. May God reward your work for us. Thank you.”

Birsa tells us “I look forward to the sisters coming to bring us lunch. With our small pensions, we cannot often buy even the bare necessities, but thanks to you, because you take care of us, we can save at least a little to buy pills and other things. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love in England that you show to us elders in Moldova.”
