Mirela Ganea
ROMANIA

Hello, my friends!

Can you imagine how it is when you would like to go outside, and yet you know you cannot do it ?  Not because it rains or because you got the flu, but because you cannot move? The most insignificant thing for anyone, such as opening or closing the door, or looking out the window in the morning, when your eyes are still sleepy...being able to do any such small thing is a MIRACLE!  I wish these things so much, and I often dream about running on the beach or about breathing deeply while I stand in front of the window, watching the people move around ... and I so much wish to be part of that living, moving world  and its complicated mechanism, its LIFE!

However, 12 years ago life has taken another turn for me. An angel has guarded me and has left me my life...but I am now immobilised and bedridden because of a terrible car accident. I read books and listen to music, I talk and I listen to my mother's voice, my mother who keeps taking care of me...yet it's not easy for me to even type with just one finger in a prosthesis, and yet I'm glad that I can do even this. I'm happy for every moment of life that God has granted me, and I know that Life is the most precious gift that God ever gave me.

My name is Mirela and I live in small flat like a shell in Constanta. I seldom had a chance to go outside in the past 12 years. I don't even remember any more how the city looks like. I don't know many of the things that I used to do before my accident. But I would very much like to have REAL FRIENDS again.
 
I feel so very lonely, and this powerlessness is killing me, while the isolation weighs heavy on me. I forgot to smile, or to enjoy life. I need friends who could really understand what I go through, who can help me financially, morally, mentally, spiritually...
 If you believe that FRIENDSHIP can start with a simple email, and if you can feel understanding for my special situation, please don't hesitate: please contact me! Remember that somewhere, someone, needs you and your friendship.

S.O.S.  My parents suffer greatly because they too are sick with artrosis, osteoporosis and chronic rheumatoid arthrithis, among other health problems. The medicines which they both need every month are many, and because they are so expensive, we cannot afford to buy them every month. For this reason their disease is worsening and nowadays they can hardly move, only with great pain. My parents and I need a lots of medicines every month.
