How many people do you know who've
had breast cancer? In recent years three close friends have been diagnosed with
breast cancer. Scary. They went through various treatments and surgeries.
Thanks to modern medicine and lots of prayer, they have all been declared
cancer free.

| Maricica's sister with child |
Maricica had breast cancer, too. Unlike my cancer-surviving
friends, Maricica happened to have been born into a Romany family in Moldova,
one of the poorest countries in Europe. Her family did not have enough money to
pay for the necessary operations. In the words of her pastor, "after some great pain she died."
This 35-year-old mother left four children. Her mother now looks after them as
best she can.
We're praying for someone who can do
community/economic development among Romany in countries like Moldova. So that
families like Maricica's can pay for necessary operations, and children like
Maricica's can have a cancer survivor as a mother instead of being victims of
cancer themselves.
