Yulia is raising six children, four of whom are adopted. One of these adopted children is Kira. Born with bilateral deafness, she was abandoned by her parents and lived in an orphanage until she was four.
To hear not just noise, but sound, Kira requires proper education with specialists – in a specialized kindergarten at a boarding school for children with hearing impairments. This kindergarten is located on the other side of the city from the apartment where Yulia lived with her children. Taking Kira on public transportation is almost impossible – she panics and screams. Therefore, Yulia and her children moved to an apartment next to the kindergarten, and the other children transferred to a new school.
All the children Yulia raised while living in the orphanage were classified as "difficult to accommodate" – teenagers, several siblings who cannot be separated, and children with special needs. Families place them less often because not all are ready for such responsibility, lack support, or don't have the space for their own home.
Our foundation selects professional foster parents. Our specialists (psychologists and lawyers) work with them 24/7, providing advice on building relationships and support during the adaptation period. The foundation also provides compensation to the parents and, if necessary, helps with housing.
This collection will help us pay for three months of rent for Yulia.
Юлия, вы молодец, сил Вам и поддержки 🌺☀️
