A day about children. About parents. About the questions we have, the emotions we don’t always know how to manage, and how important it is not to feel alone on the journey of parenthood.

The parenting conference with Urania Cremene and Atena Boca was about all of this - about honest conversations, shared experiences, and the courage to look for answers when we want to feel closer to our children.

But beyond all the beautiful moments of this day, there was an even greater purpose.

Every ticket purchased contributed to the construction of Moldova’s first free pediatric palliative care unit.

A day dedicated to today’s parents and children is thus transformed into care for children who, one day, may need a place where they can be cared for, listened to, comforted, and surrounded by people who are there for them.

The funds raised during the conference will go towards this project. And for us, this is the most beautiful meaning an event can have: for it not to end when the lights go out, but to continue through the good we build together.

Thank you, Urania Cremene, for the generosity with which you shared your experience and knowledge, and for every idea that will leave this room and find its way into the families of those who were present.

Thank you, Atena Boca, for your honesty, openness, and for such a deeply human conversation about the realities parents face and their need to be understood, not judged.

And above all, thank you to everyone who chose to be there. By showing up, you became part of a conversation about parenting and, at the same time, part of a project that will change lives.

A day about parenting has come to an end. But what we built together is only just beginning.

Because every child deserves care. And when care becomes a community, we can build places where it is there for those who need it most.
