Report

Danya was born prematurely, and his mother left him immediately after birth. Danya is curious and active, but due to a congenital nervous system disorder, he cannot walk without support.

“Danya is a real live wire,” his nanny says. “He really wants to run and jump, to play active games. It’s as if he doesn’t know how to be sad at all—he laughs and chatters nonstop.”

The Fond helped Danya get to Moskva for surgery. The boy underwent it well and quickly began to recover. And when he fully recovered, he was able to go to an adaptive sports camp. There, Danya did cycling and swimming. Now he feels his body much better.

All this time, the Fond’s nanny was by his side, supporting and hugging him if he was scared or in pain. She was the one who encouraged him and believed that Danya would definitely succeed.

Thank you for your compassion! Thanks to your support, we paid for the work of nannies for two orphaned children. We cannot change the children’s diagnoses, but together with you, we gave them reliable, caring adults who were there during treatment and recovery.

About the campaign

Danya is an orphan. After his surgery, he needs a nanny at the hospital!

Danya's mother abandoned him right at the maternity hospital—he was born so tiny and weak that she feared she wouldn't be able to cope. Since then, Danya has lived in a specialized orphanage in Chuvashia.

Danya is now ten years old. Children at this age typically run around racing, but Danya, due to a severe nervous system condition, barely walks. Yet, the boy remains bright and very sociable. He longs to experience the joy of movement—to simply run like everyone else.

For Danya's wish to come true, he needs surgery. The Road of Life Foundation arranged for the boy to be hospitalized, but a difficult recovery lies ahead. Danya now has a nanny with him, as being alone in the hospital is unbearable for a small child. "Danya is a fidget; he needs to move all the time," the nanny says. "When he's in pain or scared, he just freezes and waits for someone to hug him." The nanny feeds Danya with a spoon, buttons his pajamas, hugs him, and holds his hand in the most difficult moments.

There are many children like Danya. They all need a caring nanny. Support this fundraiser—let the nannies be there every day, every hour. And the children know they have someone to hug.
