Nastya, Anya, and Sasha are not sisters by blood, but by circumstance. Anya ended up in an orphanage because of her mother’s alcoholism and underwent surgery for a cleft palate. Nastya came from a troubled home and suffered the loss of her mother. Sasha was placed in an infant home at six months old, then moved to a foster family; however, following her foster mother’s divorce and subsequent illness, she returned to an orphanage—a transition she found deeply traumatic. All three have experienced the hardships of being orphaned, a deep-seated distrust of adults, and the constant need to survive. Yet, circumstances brought them together into a foster family that has become a true sanctuary. They found one another and discovered what it means to have a home, to be cared for, and to have parents who will never abandon them.
However, the lasting effects of a difficult, unstable childhood hinder their education, their relationships with peers, and their ability to trust. Each of them requires individual and group sessions with a psychologist. A specialist can help Anya come to terms with her past; assist Nastya in processing the loss of her mother and learning to trust; and support Sasha in coping with the loss of her foster mother and regaining self-confidence. Please give these three sisters a chance to overcome their past and grow up in a real, loving home.
