I grew up feeling deeply loved. My mother was always there for me with a kind of devotion that stays with you for life – in the small gestures, in her choice to put me before everything else, in the way she made me feel safe and important.
And precisely because I had that love, I remember even more vividly the moments when I was away from her – in hospitals, in kindergarten, in places where the days felt endless. I remember waiting for her. I remember how everything changed the moment I saw her. Even then, without being able to name it, I felt how vital that bond is for a child.
Later, life took me in different directions – education, travel, a new country. Until I became a mother. That was when everything took on a new meaning. I felt, with my whole heart, how powerful the connection with a child is, and how natural it is to want to be there for them. I understood, not only with my mind but with my heart, that for a child there is nothing more important than to grow up loved and to have their person beside them.
This is how my personal story became a mission.
We founded Equilibrium with the belief that no child should grow up without a family. That we can support parents, prevent separation, and give every child the chance to have a home where they belong.
Today, this is my path.
This is my way of passing on the love I grew up with.
Because I believe that every child deserves to be loved – and when that happens, the world changes.
