Report

Kira is an orphan. She has cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and other related complications. When the foundation's doctors first saw her, the girl was in severe pain due to leg deformities.

We helped Kira come to Moskva for treatment; this year, she underwent an orthopedic surgery, followed by a long period of recovery and rehabilitation.

"When Kira first arrived," her nanny recalls, "I never saw her smile, she didn't make a sound at all. She just lay on her side and sucked her thumb."

Since the nanny met Kira at the airport, they have always been together. The nanny not only cared for the girl—turning her to prevent bedsores, feeding her, monitoring her hygiene—she did everything to give Kira a normal childhood: reading her fairy tales, taking her for walks, playing with her. It was the nanny who noticed how much the girl loved music, how she would start giggling as soon as she heard familiar tunes.

Now Kira has recovered from the surgery and returned to her orphanage. We are confident that her life will improve: after all, there will be no more pain, which the surgery helped to relieve. Moreover, we have informed the orphanage staff about how to properly care for the girl now, and the nanny shared everything she had learned.

Thank you for your compassion! Thanks to you, Kira had a caring and loving adult by her side throughout her treatment, with whom she learned to smile.

About the campaign

Kira is an orphan and needs a nanny to help her during her treatment!

"Kira is a normal child, but she's been disabled since childhood," says a teacher at the orphanage where the girl lives. She's calm and enjoys walks and fresh air.

Kira's mother is deceased, and her father has limited parental rights. Therefore, she has no family nearby who could be with her full-time. Kira herself can do almost nothing without adult assistance due to her health issues. She has difficulty moving, poor vision and hearing, and requires round-the-clock care.

The foundation met Kira during a visit to her institution and helped organize her trip to Moscow for an important rehabilitation and treatment program. A personalized support program has already been developed for her: doctors, teachers, and other specialists will work with her. They will help Kira learn new skills and improve her well-being.

But Kira can't make it this far alone. In an unfamiliar city, surrounded by hospital rooms, examinations, and new people, she needs an adult by her side—someone who will feed her, change her, support her, comfort her, and not leave her alone. For Kira, a nanny isn't a luxury. She's someone she simply couldn't cope without.

Help us pay for a nanny for Kira. Your donation means an adult next to a child who can't be alone. It's the care that will enable her to undergo treatment.
