The story of the campaign

“As a hospital priest, I stand with the medical system!” Father Ion wrote in 2021.

Month after month, the Fiți Buni Association brings nappies and wet wipes for newborns whose mothers have little means, in five hospitals in three counties. People can give size 1 nappies (2–6 kg) or any sum to the association’s account.

Much of the equipment has also come from the 1 March fair, “Mărțișorul speranței”.
