My name's Mackenzie,

and I started to go find me for the

adoptive mother of a nonverbal,

autistic child.

The mother had lost her job because

she wasn't able to find adequate care

for this autistic child.

So she really needed some help with

living expenses, paying some back bills.

So I launched a GoFundMe

to help support them during this crisis.

And we raised about $10,000

within just a couple of months.

I think that the surprising thing was

by telling a clear story and just like

really being very clear about what we needed,

we had some really generous donations

from people who were really moved

by the situation that this family was struggling with.

GoFundMe is the world's number one

fundraising platform,

trusted by over 200 million people.

Primavara Ducas,

the most famous museum in Bucharest.

Halele Salle-Marie,

ecosantice.

It was a bridge with a bridge

between Romanian and international.

Mirosul Prospect de Flor de Ingradinile

Cismi Giupo Trondia

prinferestre le deschise.

Fagand locul s'appara

un colz de paradis

pentru jubitori de Arta.

Andrei,

a passionate de Arta,

and the most important of the time here.

We have a special one.

Look at the details

on which you can see the details.

This one.

Let's see what's going on between the flowers.

Andrei,

a lot of space has been exposed.

It was a flower

which looks like a secret.

What's going on here?

It's said to him.

We were stuck

on a small piece of wood

on the right of the frame.

It seems that the flower

does not stick to the flower.

We try not to get attention

and not to observe

the roots of the tree.

Andrei knows

that it needs to be treated with grisha.

The flower that grows

can make it look good.

I am Niko Maria,

a friend of mine

and a colleague of Arta,

who is interested in discovery.

Maria,

you have to believe me.

The table was closed.

Come with me,

rock,

to make some poses

with your phone

or your hand.

Maria,

in the beginning,

was convinced

of enthusiasm

and determination

to Andrei.

In pre-1,

we are going to photograph

the details

with respect

without delay

from the researchers.

As you can see,

Andrei feels

that the curator of the museum

is a fan.

The discovery

is a new exhibition.

It was a moment of gloomy

and Andrei knows

that he is not able to accept it.

The editor of the story

is present in the argument

that he is a fan of him.

Many of them

are proud

of the previous generations.

It is very serious

to be replicated

and to be honest,

there are others

who there are also

of Dudenceles

teaching the engraving of Andrei's

Class."

The museum has been noticing

that there is a group

of creative agitation.

Serious people

and to be proud

of their policy,

which,

after a few minutes

have been confirmed

that the museum had a place

for sure.

Curia de la recuperata blôl, no haumbrit meritele rohul in ostrú.

Andrei primisse recunoaste renu doar d'imparte amuseului,

dar si d'imparte a comunitazi de arta.

En acia zii, Andrei nua castigate doar respektul colegilor,

ci si dorincia de aci dezvolta con ostințele endomeniulartei si conserva risale.

Maria, impressionata de cura jului Andrei,

si decât de mul pute amvăța,

alece să-i fi alăturin aceasta venturartistica.

În fața tablôlui deja recuperat și re expus, Andrei și Maria

știau că acesta era doar începutul.

Cu fundați în discutții despre viitoare descoperiri,

prietenia lor de venimai puternica,

iar viitorul părea plin de promisioni.

Let's take another listen.

Listen closely to any parts you may have missed.

Spring brought even more light to the Museum National De Arda

from Bucharesti.

Its large echoing halls were filled with Romanian

and international masterpieces.

Mirosul prospăt de flor din gradinile

cișmigiu pătrundia prin ferestrele deschise,

făcând locul să pără un colț de paradis

pentru iubitori de Arda.

The fresh scent of flowers

from the seismigio gardens wafted

through the open windows,

making the place seem like a corner

of paradise for art lovers.

Andrei, un dânăr passionat de Arda,

îșpătrecea majoritatea timpului aici.

Andrei, a young art enthusiast,

spent most of his time there.

He had a special gift,

always noticing the details that others overlooked.

Astăzi, în timce se plimba prin dreta blori,

Andrei să bof mai mult la o lucrarea expusărecent.

Today, as he wandered among the paintings,

Andrei lingered longer at a recently displayed work.

Era un tablo,

care păreasa scundun secret.

It was a painting that seemed to hide a secret.

Ce vanuie în regulăici,

îșpuse el,

și virea rămânâmblocată peumic

detaliu din colțul dreptal ramei.

Something is not right here,

he said to himself,

his gaze fixed on a small detail

in the right corner of the frame.

He felt that the painting did not belong there.

Tentia,

îșnot observații în carnețelul său.

Trying not to attract attention,

he noted his observation in his notebook.

Andrei knew he had to act carefully.

Orce mișcare greșită

putea să-l facă să-pară nebun.

Any wrong move could make him seem crazy.

He met with Maria,

a friend and fellow-art enthusiast

to whom he shared his discovery.

Maria,

trebuie să-ma crezi.

Maria, you have to believe me.

This painting was stolen.

Please come with me,

take some pictures with your phone,

he urged her.

Maria, hesitant at first,

was convinced by Andrei's enthusiasm and determination.

Together, they managed to photograph

the suspicious details

without attracting the attention of the supervisors.

Stéphan,

la desciderea un inno expoziții.

Armed with evidence,

Andrei headed to the museum curator,

Stefan,

at the opening of a new exhibition.

It was a busy moment,

and Andrei knew he couldn't wait any longer.

Vorbitor periculos de tare,

yeles present argumentelem fața luiștephan.

Multimea de oas peňtzintor cându şi priviri lecurioase.

Speaking dangerously loud,

he presented his arguments to Stefan,

the crowd of guests turning their curious eyes.

This is a very serious accusation,

replied Stefan,

but the look he cast at the painting

indicated that he took into account

the gravity of Andrei's words.

The guests whispered among themselves

agitation growing.

Supressionia pubicului,

Stéphan funevoiță cheme politie,

care, după verificăr minuțiuase,

confirmara că lucrarea fuse

centra de vârforată.

Under public pressure,

Stefan had to call the police,

who, after thorough checks,

confirmed that the work had indeed been stolen.

The joy of recovering the painting

not overshadowed the merits of our hero.

Andrei received recognition not only

from the museum,

but also from the art community.

That day, Andrei gained not only

the respect of his colleagues,

but also the desire to further develop

his knowledge in the field of art

and its conservation.

In front of the already recovered

and redisplayed painting,

Andrei and Maria knew this was just the beginning.

Cu fundat în discutii despre viitoare descoperiri,

prietenia lor de venima e puternica,

iar viitorul părea plinde promisioni.

Immersed in discussions about future discoveries,

their friendship grew stronger,

and the future seemed full of promise.
