Who We Are — Love and Mercy Project

Oana Stoica

Oana was born and raised in Bucharest, Romania. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Administration from the University of Bucharest. With extensive experience as a Financial Manager with over 15 years in the construction industry, Oana has honed her skills in financial planning, budgeting, and organizational management. But her true passion for charity work was ignited during her trip to Romania to visit children at the Dumbrava Monastery, an orphanage in Neamt. It was then that Oana felt a calling to make a difference. Driven by the desire to help those in need, she founded Love and Mercy Project. Her dedication to giving back to the community led her to establish an organization that provides resources, support, and hope to orphaned children in Romania and beyond. Oana believes that every child deserves a chance at a brighter future, and she works tirelessly to make that vision a reality.
