Now caring nannies are by the side of orphaned children!

For a child, and even for a teenager, a hospital ward is a frightening, unfamiliar world. The scariest things are loneliness and the unpredictability of the situation. There is no one nearby to explain what is happening and why, or to confidently say: 'Everything will be alright! We will get through this!'

Our foundation provides professional nannies for children who find themselves alone in the hospital. These nannies do more than just watch over the children—they live with them in the same ward, are on duty around the clock, and become friends and a reliable support during one of the most difficult periods in a child's life.

Right now, we are helping a 17-year-old boy who entered an orphanage six years ago. He grew up healthy and athletic, making plans for the future, but everything changed in an instant: he felt weak, and red spots appeared on his body. Tests revealed acute leukemia. He has now been transferred from a regional medical center to Moskva, and a nanny from our foundation will be by his side.

Even though the boy is already quite grown up, he also needs someone close to him who can at least somewhat dispel his fear and uncertainty, help him after chemotherapy, and stay with him for as long as necessary.

Thank you for your compassion! Thanks to you, we have been able to pay for round-the-clock nannies for children in hospitals. After all, every child in the hospital should have a reliable, caring adult by their side! If you would like to continue helping, please take a look at other current fundraising campaigns of the Doroga zhizni foundation. Together we can do more!
