Deborah House 2 was inaugurated in September 2006. For 18 years there wasn’t any work done at the exterior of the house so a renovation and roof repairs were long overdue.
Our partners from Missio International (MI), USA, heard about our need and in a very short time, someone who has been alongside Deborah House for over 20 years has donated over 65% of the amount of money needed for the project. For the remaining funds, a group of volunteers from MI organized a Live Art Auction on October 12th 2024, an online fundraising event.
Fourteen established artists and amateurs from the USA and Romania donated photographs and paintings, taking us closer to reaching our goal. Six of them were from Romania and they donated a total of fifteen art works. One young lady was from the Republic of Moldova, now living in Timisoara, and she donated three paintings.
Three artists from the Romanian group have participated in national and international art exhibitions: Radu Clețiu, Adrian Sabău and Sorin Onișor. Sara, one of our girls, has also donated two paintings created by her in therapy workshops.
In less than four months, the $50,000 renovations and repairs were completed, due to generous people and artists from two different continents who came together for a common goal. The total amount of money raised through the auction was $7,535.
We are encouraged by the positive and prompt response of the artists who happily and generously donated their works of art.
Thank you to all our partners, donors and friends who bid on this fundraiser. Your generosity and active involvement has been overwhelming. Now, in such a short time, we can see the results of your heartfelt gestures.
