This little girl's name is Nastya. She is a very special child.
She is 6 years old and has been in a childrens rehab center
(childrens home) with her sister Yulia who is now 8. They live in a tiny one
room apartment with 8 other people. Her parents will leave her and her sister alone at home for
days with little or no food. Although she is not at the childrens
home presently, she often comes back there to be fed and to be in an
environment where she is loved. Olga, the director at the rehab center
has a big heart for these children and has also become a close friend of
ours.. She gets upset because she often has to send kids back to unpleasant home situations.
Nastya (Anastasia) & Yulia are in the process of being taken away from
their parents. This is good in a way but even though these kids are
treated so badly at home, they still love their parents and do not want
to leave them. The worst part is is that these children could be split
up and sent to orphanages that are very far away. |
