Kostya's story is a vivid example of how sensitive support can transform the life of a teenager in a crisis situation.
In September 2022, he crossed the threshold of the orphanage: adaptation was uneven, and emotional swings made it difficult to interact with others. But thanks to working with a psychologist and a coach, Kostya gradually learned to recognize his feelings and set goals. The decisive turning point was his firm desire to become a welder—it gave meaning to his tutoring sessions and motivated him to improve his academic performance. Admission, targeted training, and a tour of the production facility strengthened his confidence in his choice.
Today, a scholarship from the Deti nashi Fond is not only help with buying textbooks and groceries, but also an important confirmation: Kostya's potential is recognized, and he is being supported. Such support allows young people to focus on mastering their profession instead of being distracted by part-time jobs.
The fundraising will make it possible to pay scholarships to Kostya and other young people.
