Vanya and other orphaned children need nannies during their treatment!

Doroga jizni

Foundation • Moscow

Vanya is 15 years old and has spent his entire life in children's institutions and hospitals. He has a severe orthopedic diagnosis that imposes many limitations: Vanya cannot play or walk for long, and he spends most of his day in bed. Doctors from the Doroga zhizni fond transported Vanya to Moskva for treatment because he needs serious help—several surgeries, two of which are already behind him. Now Vanya is taking a break at the Sotsialnyy tsentr fonda. Due to circulation problems, Vanya quickly develops bedsores, so he requires round-the-clock care. That is why a patronage nanny, Olga, accompanies him at every stage of his treatment. "Vanya is cheerful, never gets discouraged, and even tries to take care of others," says Olga. "Despite his limitations, he tries to do as much as he can by himself, and I support him in this—even if it takes longer or we have to redo things afterward." The care of round-the-clock nannies is needed by all orphaned children who come to us for treatment and surgeries. In addition, every child needs not only medical care but also a reliable adult by their side so they are not afraid. Help us pay for the work of nannies for Vanya and other children! Let no child be left without support during illness!
