There are roughly 230,000 orphans in Russia with over 650,000 in some
form of state care. Those orphanages and the reviews for those
establishments are terrible, where orphans are being neglected and
abused on a daily basis. The reality is, these orphanages are
underfunded, understaffed and over populated with children. Due to
poor conditions, inadequate nutrition and insufficient emotional care,
many of these children are underdeveloped mentally and physically.
What even more shocking is that over 95% of those children have living parents!
Due to economic and general health conditions, more and more
children are being put up for adoption. Much of the physical, mental
and emotional disabilities suffered by Russian orphans could be
avoided if there was adequate funding for orphanage upkeep, staffing,
food, medical care and some of the comforts of life.
My goal is to raise $5000 to donate to orphan houses located in
Moscow and St. Petersburg. Being a Russian myself I know the culture
and the mentality, so I don’t trust the officials down there. Many are
corrupt and can’t be trusted with the donations, because they will use
funds for their personal needs. That’s why I’m traveling down there
myself this summer, at my own cost, to personally provide those
facilities with the things needed such as: building repair, toys,
clothes, food and furniture for the kids.
Every kid on this Planet deserves to have a childhood and live
in good conditions! Please help me to help them!
Thank you for your help, and may your kindness be returned to
you times 100
