SUCCESS STORIES
At Blue Heron Foundation, we try to speak for those vulnerable members of the Romanian society who are unable to speak for themselves.

I feel honored to be invited to share with you some thoughts about myself and the way the Blue Heron Foundation changed my life. My childhood was deprived of the warmth of a loving family.
