Who are we?

Since 2022, the Association A Tear of Happiness is at the side of the children admitted to the Oncopediatric Ward. We focus our efforts on creative activities and emotional support.

Anca Damaschin is the one who, out of love and dedication, laid the foundations of what we are building now. We thank and appreciate her for all her effort.

The organization's mission is to bring moments of joy to children hospitalized at the Oncology Ward of St. Mary's Hospital in Iasi.
Thus, we are with our little Super Heroes every week. 

We are committed to providing these children and their families with emotional support
to help them overcome the challenges of this difficult and unfair diagnosis.

Through targeted games and with plenty of help from our volunteers, we are taking small but sure steps in trying to help them cope with all the emotions associated with the disease. We support research and development of innovative therapies, knowing that medical advances are the solution to the fight against cancer.

We also aim to create a more united community around these little Super Heroes. To this end, we organise fundraising events and creative workshops with our sponsors.

We encourage volunteering and the involvement of others in supporting these activities. We strongly believe that bit by bit we can bring smiles. 

We believe that we are the drop that can make a difference even in an ocean! We are purveyors of happiness, as we like to call ourselves,
and we do it with love! We invite you too to put smiles on the faces of children who need it!

Meet our team!

We pride ourselves on our Super-Volunteers, without whom we could not continue to reach out to the little ones. They are the ones who, every week, bring more smiles to the Oncology Ward. They are strong, creative and that is why we thank them. We are grateful for all their effort and believe in the power of a united team.
