You are not alone. 2

Loneliness, when you are “not needed by anyone” – even adults can hardly bear it. For a child, this is a real tragedy. Nothing can replace mom's gentle hands in the first year of life. And yet we can support abandoned children: to make sure that they do not need at least material: food and hygiene products. "Abandoned children" leave dysfunctional mothers in maternity hospitals and even well-arranged parents, if the child was born with pathologies. Children found on the street and taken from families where they were not cared for are brought to hospitals. About 2 weeks is required for examination; in reality, while the guardianship authorities will complete all the necessary documents, sometimes months pass.

For the maintenance of children, the state allocates scanty sums to hospitals and children's homes, which do not take into account either the number of diapers that are actually consumed per day or the milk formulas that are suitable for these children. Saving diapers result in dermatitis, saving baby food in allergies and digestive disorders, and then you have to buy medicines. Spending the first days of your life without a mother is so hard. Add to this a wet diaper and a sick tummy – and you get a depressing picture. But there are children who need not just quality, but special food. Someone – lactose free, someone easily digestible. Just look at the racks of any supermarket, where baby food is exposed, to imagine how much it costs.

Hospitals really need baby soap and wet wipes. Every mother knows how fast the last ones are spent on caring for the baby. Yes, decades ago, everyone did without them. But they save a lot of time for employees. The released minutes are used by one of the nurses to hold the baby on the arms, and this is very important for his development.

We are regularly asked for support:

- Dnipro City Clinical Hospital №1;
- Dnipro City Children's Clinical Hospital №2;
- Dnipro Medical Center of the Mother and Child. prof. Rudneva;
- Dnieper City Children's Clinical Hospital №6.

CF Pomogaem collects funds for them within the framework of the project "You are not alone" and purchases hygiene products (diapers, wet wipes, cream, soap), milk mixtures, cereals and mashed potatoes. UAH 170,000 is the minimum need for a year, calculated on the basis of project costs in the past year. Please help children without parents to get full care and a balanced diet!
