Please tell me what you think this child would like. How he is doing, he sounds like a delightful child and with the holidays approaching I would like to make it a little more special for him.

Hello, liss !

You don't imagine what a great joy your message gave me! After such a long time since I wrote into the forum, I didn't expected to receive any answer at all.
Even last days I saw some advertisings for christmas and I got upset thinking that robert would deserve something too and I might not be able to give him anything... You know, it's strange and painful to see at christmas such big differences between people, between children: some with their parents, walking in their expansive cars and some others, like robert, with no parents at all...But with the "oportunity" of having leukemia !!!
So, your message is more than welcome. I am really surprised to see that someone is able to give, in such a manner, without knowing us at all. It's indeed a great thing, a lesson of human behaviour !
Robert is quite well now, thanks god. He came to hospital 1 month ago fot another treatment of cytostatic and it was ok. He begun the school in september and he is proud of that.
He lives in another town but he just sent me a letter last week and he said that he was well. He lives at his uncle now but, sinceerly, I guess they don't care of him so much, how they should, how a dying child would need... What it's more surprising is that he behaves very well, with a lot of commun sens. If you give me youe e-mail, I can send you some photos...
I would also like to know about you a little, where are you from, how old are you... If you want. I hope you don't have anyone with leukemia...
As regards me, unfortunately I didn't succeed to employ myself yet. I have some promises but I will probably begine in december. I know it's quite strange that i'm asking others to do something, while I am not even working yet. But in romania is indeed tough and difficult to find a job. Unfortunately, there's a lot of corruption even in our catholic social organisation... I would not hide it that, often, what the foreign countries send for romania is stolen by the social workers...
As regards the present for robert, I don't have any established ideea. I was thinking that it might be nice a portable cd-player and maybe some things for school, like notebooks, a bag for school... Or anything else you think it's nice for a boy of 12. It's up to you what you want to send or the manner of sending it.
I hope I didn't bore you with such a long message. Thanks again for your answer. You'll be in my prayers.

Sinceerly, monique.
