Orphaned children enter foster families carrying the burden of their past: hunger, beatings, and antisocial environments. These are not just memories, but traumas that destroy their psyche. They manifest as aggression, nightmares, and an inability to form attachments. The love and care of foster parents are often not enough here.
The help of a psychiatrist is essential. It is the psychiatrist who alleviates acute conditions—panic attacks, depression, and nightmares—that prevent a child from believing they are safe. When this inner tension subsides, the family has a chance to build a warm relationship.
Roma is 8 years old. After experiencing beatings and hunger in early childhood, he would hide food and throw tantrums in his new family. A psychiatrist diagnosed him with PTSD and helped relieve his nightmares and anxiety. Once the child felt better, he was able to accept his mother's care. Now, for the first time, the boy has made friends.
There are hundreds of such children. They deserve this chance. Your donation will fund the work of a psychiatrist for foster children at the "Find a Family" foundation and give them back their right to a childhood.
