Monica's Fundraiser for MagiCAMP
Hello friends! I’m excited to announce that I am donating my birthday to the amazing kids at MagiCAMP, and I am asking for your help so we can send 50 kids with life-limiting conditions to the special camp for one week.

Romanian United Fund’s (RUF) partner, MagiCAMP, serves over 5,000 Romanian kids affected by severe medical conditions. We all know someone special who fought bravely for their life, and every MagiCAMP kid is special this way. MagiCAMP is organized under the pandemic strict restrictions this year and, despite the tough times, efforts are made to provide joy and happiness to these children. The cost for one kid to go to the camp for a week is $462. Any donation amount will contribute to offering these children a few moments of joy.

RUF is a 100% pass-through entity. This means that every cent that gets in the account (after credit card processing fee) is transferred to the beneficiary organization, in this case, MagiCAMP.

Thanks in advance for your contribution and please share this information with anyone who may be interested.

In loving memory of Vasile Moigradan, for RUF
Romania is where my dad’s heart beat and I know he would have loved to know that in lieu of flowers at his funeral, donations will be made for a greater cause. 100% of the money donated to Romanian United Fund are transferred to their recipient projects that make a difference in the lives of Romanians.

Please consider making a donation in the memory of my loving father.

Thank you,
Calin Moigradan

-----------------------------

There is something unbelievably kind and remarkable in what the Moigradan family has done.

Instead of flowers and wreaths, people all over the world who cared about Calin Moigradan and Mr. Vasile Moigradan, can show their kindness by making a donation to RUF - Romanian United Fund. 100% of the proceeds will benefit Asociația Magic, an organization caring for children that are sick with cancer and other terminal illnesses in Romania. Every $365 means one more child that Magic will be able to feed and care for in 2021. Thank you Calin, and thank you Mr. Vasile Moigradan. Rest in peace. We will always remember your kind smile.

Thank you,

Mihai Lehene

Help me repair my motorcycle – A dream almost destroyed!

Hello! My name is Dragoș, and I would like to share my story and ask for your help, as I am facing a difficult situation.

Over the years, I have worked hard to save up 7000 RON (Romanian Leu), so I could buy a motorcycle – a dream I’ve had for a long time. After much effort, I managed to pay 4500 RON for the motorcycle, and I used the rest of the money for repairs because it was already damaged: the cylinder head was defective, the piston was broken, and the connecting rod was bent.

I managed to buy a second-hand cylinder head, with the promise that it was in good condition, but unfortunately, it only lasted 4 hours of operation. A valve broke, and now the engine is destroyed once again.

To repair the motorcycle and bring it back to life, I need the following parts:

• Cylinder head: 500 EUR (approx. 2500 RON)

• Cylinder: 250 EUR (approx. 1250 RON)

• Piston + rings: 200 EUR (approx. 1000 RON)

• Connecting rod: 200 EUR (approx. 1000 RON)

• Gaskets: 100 EUR (approx. 500 RON)

The total cost for the necessary parts is 1250 EUR (approx. 5250 RON). All the parts are second-hand because I cannot afford to buy new ones.

Since I am the sole provider for my family and work in Romania, where incomes are limited and I have to pay rent and bills, it is impossible for me to save this amount of money in the next few years. Unfortunately, if I don’t ask for help, it would take me about 4 to 5 years to save this amount on my own.

Now, I need your help! Any amount, no matter how small, will help me repair my motorcycle and continue to pursue my passion.

How will your donations help?

The money I raise will be used exclusively to buy the necessary parts: cylinder head, cylinder, piston, connecting rod, and gaskets. For me, the motorcycle is much more than just a means of transportation – it is a passion that brings me joy, helps me relax, and escape from daily stress.

Thank you so much for any help you can offer!
