Multiple shrapnel wounds, shattered legs, almost lost eyesight, and orphanhood: seven-year-old Angelinka had to endure all of this. A Russian missile hit destroyed the life of the girl, her two brothers and sister.
That terrible day took the life of a man who was raising four children alone. They were left orphaned. At the same time, the eldest boy received severe injuries to both arms and multiple shrapnel wounds. Doctors had to amputate the phalanges on two fingers. The younger girl, Angelina, suffered the most. She has many shrapnel wounds, severe injuries to both eyes, and both legs are crushed.
The children received first aid at a local hospital. But the health situation was so critical that it was necessary to act immediately: to involve professional specialists, to transport them to a safer place to a medical facility. At that time, there was a great risk, especially for the girl, of losing her eyesight completely and never standing on her feet. Every day of waiting could have made the irreversible.
Almost a month later, the Mother and Baby Charity Foundation learned from the doctors about the tragic story of this family, about the severely wounded Angelina and her brother. The thought of them did not leave us. We knew that we would do everything possible and impossible to make these children live and enjoy life again. Soon, we managed to transport the children from Kharkiv to Kyiv, where they were placed in a private medical institution called Dobrobut. There, Angelina and her brother were under constant supervision and underwent the necessary examinations, treatment, and sessions with a psychologist.
We understand now what a difficult path we overcame together to give the children a chance at life. It took a lot of people who cared about the orphans to make it happen
We are grateful to the doctors who could not ignore the children's misfortune and immediately turned to us for help in saving the children. We are also grateful to those who were with them 24/7 and provided the necessary qualified medical care.
We are grateful to our glorious Armed Forces of Ukraine for the opportunity to take care of the children and fight for their lives.
We are grateful to all the social service workers who understood the criticality of the situation and went out of their way to give the children a chance to live.
We thank everyone who supported, helped, and worried about the lives of Angelina and her brother. This story has united thousands of kind and caring people! You wrote and called from all over the world, asking about the needs of children in the hospital. You also sent toys to keep them happy.
