My Personal Message
Hey Guys,
Thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page. The Outreach Moldova (ORM) charity is a very worthy cause and I would very much appreciate your support in helping me to raise funds for this charity.
ORM was founded to care for orphaned children in the poorest nation in Europe, Moldova, a small landlocked nation between Romania and the Ukraine. Children are often abandoned as a result of poverty but more often due to mental or physical disabilities. ORM in just a few short years has saved the lives of many of these children and brought dignity, education and a decent standard of life to thousands more. Having seen some of the conditions it's hard to describe or even comprehend how horrific their daily lives were before the intervention of Outreach Moldova, and the dramatic improvements are a testament to this organisation.
We realize the current economic climate makes it incredibly hard to ask for donations, but we deeply appreciate any contribution to our effort whether monetary or other. It is worth mentioning however, that only 3% of money paid to ORM goes to administration costs, a figure much lower than other mainstream and most other Irish charities. You can therefore feel confident, donations go directly to those who need it most.
Special Thanks to John, Sean, Gerry, James, Conal and Shane and all those who have got involved with the cycle and fundraising.
You can donate using the "sponsor me now" button below via credit or debit card. You can be assured that your transaction on the mycharity.ie website is very secure. You will automatically receive an e-mail from me thanking you for your support, and acknowledging the amount of your donation. Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated.
Many thanks in advance for your support,
Brian and Sean

About my charity
Outreach Moldova (ORM)
OutReach Moldova (ORM) is an Irish Charity that has been working for 10 years with abandoned and orphaned children with special needs in the Republic of Moldova
Mission Statement:
Outreach Moldova is dedicated to providing basic human rights, medical care and social justice for children that have been abandoned or orphaned, children with special needs and children with terminal illnesses in the Republic of Moldova.
Goals:
The goal of ORM is to provide immediate and ongoing assistance where necessary, provide the necessary training and supervision required, assist in and develop long-term, self-sustaining programs that will have a positive and lasting impact in the lives of these needy children and their care givers. We also strive to provide for the communities working with these children
How do we achieve this goal?
We work the belief that each life matters. In partnership with the Moldovan people we hope to change the way people think about and define both “disability” and illness; We hope to break down and end the internalized shame among people with disabilities; and promote the belief in society that disability is a natural part of human diversity in which people living with disabilities can take pride.
Vision:
ORM’s vision is that each person who is physically, mentally or socially disadvantaged deserves to be given special treatment, education and appropriate care required by their particular condition regardless of circumstance.
Core Values:
- Collaboration and Cooperation with those who share common goals
- Organsiation and Openness to provide for those in need
- Respect for human dignity
- Enhance quality of life through appropriate care
- Value the input of those who want to help and hear all voices
- Assist wherever possible and advocate human rights
- Learn from those around us
- Understand that no one person can make a change, it takes an entire community
- Enable those whom circumstance has managed to disable
- Strive for sustainability
