Moldova. Children can find joy in the little things they have, but they often forget, that
not all children can experience the same. Young Mikhai Stratulat was a very active and a happy child, but now he cannot understand why suddenly, he feels weak. He has no
appetite, runs a high fever and feels constant weakness. Before, he was full of energy, but
now does not want to play with fellow peers. After an evaluation by a medical doctor, he
was diagnosed with leukemia. Mikhai was immediately referred to an oncology center in
Kishinev, where he received chemotherapy treatment, but his condition became worse.
The doctors were worried his body would not tolerate several series of chemotherapies.
Four years have passed since Mikhail was first admitted to the hospital. All the children
who were admitted with him have already passed away. However, thanks to the
donations and expensive medications that he received from Germany, as well as prayers
from brothers and sisters, he is still alive although still very weak. We had an opportunity
to visit the 8-year- old Mikhail and his father in the hospital. They are paying for the
medications, hospital care and food. To cover the expenses, the family was forced to sell
their cow, although milk was so important for feeding a family of six. Please pray for the
small Mikhai who is ill with cancer and his parents. May the Lord be merciful to this
family in need.
