In Loving Memory of Natasia Lukiewski

  
Sisters at the Home of Hope
       
 

May 21, 1987 - April 17, 2010

In 2007, Natasia served with Heart of Hope Ministries International at Camp of the Good Shepherd in Lotrioara, Romania. In her weeks of service she embraced children and teens in desperate need of love and affection with the love of her savior, Jesus Christ. Her open heart and joyous spirit crossed all language and cultural barriers.

Natasia was the 6th child in a loving family of 8 children and two wonderful parents. Her life could hardly compare to the young girls from the orphanage that she served. However, Natasia knew her own struggles and need for the Savior and wanted to share His love and care for anyone in need. She did just that with kindness, compassion, and her infectious smile and laughter! Whether she was kicking a soccer ball with the campers, washing dishes with teammates, or sharing her personal challenges and personal faith relationship with Jesus, all were blessed to be in her presence.

Natasia was taken home to her Lord on April 17, 2010, in an off-road vehicle accident in the desert of East County San Diego. Her time of service at Camp of the Good Shepherd affected Natasia deeply and she remained a faithful advocate for those in need. This side of heaven Natasia will be dearly missed on both sides of the ocean. We thank Mr. and Mrs. Lukiewski for sharing their beautiful daughter with us and are humbled to honor their personal request that memorial donations for Natasia be made to Heart of Hope. All memorial donations will go directly to Camp of the Good Shepherd where Natasia lived, laughed, and whole-heartedly loved so many in need with the love of Jesus during her time of service with Heart of Hope.

Sisters 1.jpgWhen Mihaela and Nuti were toddlers their parents lost their apartment through a co-signed loan default. Not only was their two bedroom apartment lost and all their belongings, the family itself were devastated. Their parent’s relationship dissolved and the four children went in various directions. Mihaela and Nuti were able to stay together and lived with an aunt until the ages of 8 and 9 when the aunt could no longer care for them and placed them in the Placement Center at Orlat; older siblings were already in Placement Centers.

Heart of Hope was already working and ministering at Orlat when the girls arrived. Over their years at Orlat, the sisters benefited from renovated facilities and volunteer visits, received dental care, Christmas and Easter gifts, and attended Camp of the Good Shepherd. HHMI Spiritual Ministry staff and Debbie had many opportunities to observe the sisters and in 2008 invited Mihaela and Nuti to come to Home of Hope to finish their last two years of vocational school and prepare for successful independent living.
