Daniela Bucă: "Children with special needs teach us unconditional love"translated

For Ms. Daniela Bucă, life means a calling lived day by day, with a lot of dedication, patience and faith, alongside Archdeacon Mihail Bucă and their five children. The birth of his daughter, Irene Ecaterina, diagnosed with Down syndrome, and later her battle with leukemia profoundly changed the life of the whole family.

Beyond fear, pain and questions, Daniela Bucă talks about the difficult path of acceptance, about community support and how a child with special needs can become a lesson of unconditional love for everyone around. His testimony is, at the same time, an exhortation to parents who receive a difficult diagnosis: not to remain alone, not to be driven by fear and not to forget that the value of a child is not determined by a diagnosis. The interview was given in the section #vinereapentruviață.
