New Year's gift for a large family

The Baranov family has become a family for many children. Only now 8 children live in their family-type house. Maya and Arkadii went through this life with great trials, but this did not prevent them from maintaining their greatest desire – this is to help children.

Feelings of warmth, care, respect that can be shared with children are the most valuable that parents can give. In Ukraine, more than 100 thousand children are in specialized institutions. They wait until there are people ready to take them under their wing, who are ready to teach them life, give them love and show that, no matter what, there are adults who love them with unconditional love and are ready to become a real family. Family is not always about DNA. It's about family love.

It all started with the fact that 5 years ago, Maya fell ill with cancer. At the hospital, she met a single mom with terminal cancer and her son. Leave this family alone with grief, the Baranov family could not. They took a woman and a son to their home. And after death, they could not get the guy out into the street. This is how their foster family journey began. The eldest daughters Maya and Arcadia got married and began to live separately. The house has grown too big, and the heart is even deeper. It was decided to give the family to another girl.  And the boarding friend asked for her. Then the boy was adopted.

The Baranov family is home to teenagers from 10 to 17 years old. Not the easiest age, but the family does not give up, but only strengthens. The task of parents is for children to grow up to be kind, bright and decent people. Everyone works, gets married, gives birth to children. Nobody has bad habits, does not break the law! What their new parents are proud of.

Six months ago, trouble happened in the family. The head of the family suffered a massive stroke. Now the whole family is helping him survive. Without male hands, everything began to break. The house immediately "got sick" too. The washing machine and dryer broke down at the same time. Also in a large family there is always a shortage of bed linen and blankets.

And we thought that how nice it would be to make a real New Year's gift to a family that invests so much in our children! How good it will be to give them at least a little hope and faith that they are not alone.

The goal of our project is to purchase a full-size washer-dryer, bedding sets and blankets.

May this gift bring them smiles!
