Thirteen-year-old Lera has been living in the foster family of Zoe and Marat for a year. Despite the conditions created for her—care, support, and a private room—she shows signs of psychological trauma resulting from her past experience in a dysfunctional family. She reluctantly fulfills requests, avoids shared activities, and spends most of her time alone. Her silence and coldness are not whims; they are a protective mechanism. Subconsciously, she fears being returned to the orphanage, which prevents her from getting close to her new parents, as she "protects" her heart from potential pain.
Love and patience from her foster parents are not enough to correct this state. Professional help from a psychologist specializing in working with foster children is required. The specialist will help her process the trauma, develop a sense of safety, and build trust in her new family.
Your donation will go towards funding psychological therapy sessions for Lera. This is a tangible contribution to her rehabilitation and successful adaptation within the family.
