Report

Marina spent almost her entire life in the orphanage of the city of Krasnodon. Immediately after her birth, her mother abandoned the baby upon learning about her illness.

Due to the structure of her spine, the girl cannot walk independently and needs constant assistance even with simple daily tasks. Despite this, Marina is very sociable and kind, with an endless reserve of love that she is ready to share with everyone around her.

The foundation helped organize Marina's trip to Moskva, where she underwent an orthopedic surgery. After the operation, she spent several weeks in casts on both legs. Then came intensive rehabilitation, and now Marina has returned to the Sotsialnyy tsentr. Soon, she will have a consultation with a specialist who will decide whether a second orthopedic surgery is necessary.

Throughout the entire journey—in the trip, in the hospital, during procedures—Marina was accompanied by her nanny. She helps with daily life, provides care, and ensures that the specialists' recommendations are followed. She has also become a true friend to the girl, a reliable adult whose presence makes everything less frightening.

The nanny is the closest person to her, supporting, guiding, comforting, and believing that everything will work out!

Thank you for your compassion! Thanks to you, we were able to pay for the nanny's work for Marina and another orphaned child who lives in the foundation's Sotsialnyy tsentr.

About the campaign

Marina is an orphan and she needs a nanny while she is undergoing treatment!

Marina doesn't remember her age, but she knows one thing for sure: hugging her warms her up. "I love you," she says to everyone who hugs her. Marina's mother abandoned her immediately after birth, having learned of her diagnosis: due to a spinal condition, she couldn't walk. So she ended up in an orphanage in Krasnodon, from where we helped her get treatment in Moscow. Marina recently underwent complex orthopedic surgery—her recovery isn't easy, but she's already making progress.

"Marina doesn't remember her mother's arms, but she's ready to hug the whole world," says Larisa, the nanny who's always by her side. "When she's in pain, she whispers, 'Sit next to me.' And a minute later, she's smiling and saying she loves me."

Marina has no one else but Larisa, so we pay for professional nannies to ensure each child has support. We're currently raising funds for a nanny for Marina and another orphan. Help us provide a nanny and give Marina care and support during her most difficult time.
