Elena and Mihai are separated half a world away from their loved ones. Help reunite this lovely family so that they may enjoy their golden years with those who mean the most to them:)
Elena,Mihai and their family came to the United States from Romania with plans to live the American Dream with their daughter and son. When their daughter fell in love and married a US citizen, they were in the process of petitioning US immigration to allow Elena and Mihai to stay. Unfortunately, before they could file the petition, they were forced to leave. Elena and Mihai went back to Romania, 10,000 kilometers, or 6,000 miles away.
That was almost 10 years ago. Since then, their daughter and son have been blessed with a total of 4 children themselves. Apart from one hard-earned trip to Romania to visit, these children have not seen their grandparents face to face in 10 years.
Friends of this family believe that family bonds are important. Nothing can replace the influence, wisdom, hugs, and love from grandparents, parents, and children. Being together is what family is all about!
Help this family be reunited!
There is a daughter, a son, and 4 grandchildren waiting here to see Elena and Mihai. There is also a basement apartment in their son’s home waiting for them to move in.
They just need help getting here.
Our goal is to raise $3,000 to cover the cost of petition and airfare to bring this family back together.
We want to help this family be reunited, and money has been the
biggest obstacle. Both parents have serious medical conditions that
could better be treated here in the US. Her mother has cancer, but is
in remission and her father has diabetes.
