Maksim is an ordinary teenager: he loves computer games and movies. The only difference is that he moves around in a wheelchair—he has cerebral palsy and cannot even transfer himself to a bed or into a car.
His mother is raising Maksim and his older brother alone, and recently she had to be hospitalized—she seriously injured her back from regularly lifting Maksim, since he needs to be moved and positioned.
While his mother was recovering from surgery, Maksim went to rehabilitation. To make sure he wasn't alone there, his mother reached out to a foundation and asked for a nanny to be provided for him.
"Maksim is a very calm, balanced boy," the nanny says. "He is already grown up and understands well why his mother can't be with him. But he can't manage without help: unfortunately, he can't take care of himself."
There are many children like Maksim. Our beneficiaries include children from orphanages and residential institutions, children removed from troubled families, and children whose parents can't be with them, as happened with Maksim.
All the nannies' work is coordinated by the head nanny: she manages the supplies, supports the nannies, helps with care issues, knows each child's history, character, and needs—and selects the nanny who is the best fit for each child.
We are raising funds to pay for the head nanny's work under the "Children in Hospital" program. Let no child be left alone during treatment.
