My story

In 1998, Steve Cooper and three friends heard about children living in dire circumstances at Dofteana orphanage in Bacau, Northeast Romania and went to see how they could help. They found 26 children in appalling conditions, suffering from malnutrition and neglect. Most had serious illnesses or disabilities. Their plight moved Steve’s compassion into action and the charity Cry in the Dark was born.
Romanian local authorities re-located the children to a hospital, but conditions there were worse. So Cry in the Dark worked hard to urgently raise funds, build a home and find staff. Two years later 24 children moved to Casa Lumina (House of Light) – their new home-for-life.
But the story doesn’t end there.
When one life changes for the better, so can entire communities…
… with Christian love and compassion we aim to bring hope to children and their families in isolated communities through our charity work in Romania.
In 2018 I spent a week with Steve and the team seeing for myself the amazing work they do and hearing how they provide opportunities for schools and churches across the UK to get involved. My daughter has also been out several times helping with the team.
