Current Needs at Delia's Center
Every project below is a real, urgent need — from meals and tutoring to books and therapy. Choose the one that tugs at your heart. Every dollar goes directly to the children.
The Children Don't Need a Miracle.
They Just Need Adults Who Stay.
At Delia's Center for Special Needs Children in Bârlad, Romania — the only center of its kind in the region — children rely on our programs every single day. There are no special education classes, no local therapists, and no safety net. We are the safety net.
Below you'll find specific projects and monthly needs you can support directly. You'll receive photo and video updates showing exactly how your gift was used — because you deserve to see the difference you make.

Educate Orphans Who Need Us to Be Their Champion
Your donation enables children to grow up being able to read, write, and do math. Together we can make sure these disadvantaged kids can go to school and don't drop out — giving them opportunities to prevent a life of poverty and discrimination.
Donate to EducateBeing Autistic & Non-Verbal Shouldn't Stop Teodora from Learning
Teodora is an inquisitive 11-year-old who loves to read and is autistic. Her journey to learn begins with traveling 90 minutes each way, twice a week, to attend Delia's Center. Your gift helps make that possible.
Support TeodoraGive a Book to an Orphaned Child in Rural Romania
Choosing a book from a bookstore is something our special needs kids have never done. The children have been working so hard to learn to read — help us keep encouraging them and fostering a love of reading.
Donate BooksGive a Healthy Lunch to Special Needs Children
Help provide hot, nutritious lunches, healthy snacks, and freshly made juices. For many of these children, this may be the only nutritious food they eat that day.
Donate Hot LunchIt All Began with Delia — Fruits & Snacks
This project supports monthly fruits and snacks for Delia and her friends at the orphanage — simple nourishment that brings comfort, dignity, and consistency to children who have so little.
Donate Fruits & SnacksAnother Move. Another Loss. Provide Care for a Foster Child.
When a foster child is moved to a new home, familiar routines, school connections, and trusted support disappear overnight. This is especially scary for children with special needs. Your gift helps meet a child's needs in those frightening moments of transition.
