Heal baby souls

Treating children's souls is a delicate work. The souls of children with disabilities are even more difficult to treat. Serious illnesses, bullying at school and loneliness, and now also war – all this leaves painful wounds, not only on the body, but on the hearts of children.

The wards of the CF Pomogaem, seriously ill children, need the help of a psychologist. His job is to make sure that mental trauma heals and does not entail serious consequences for the child's psyche. And children with mental disorders need a correctional psychologist. There are many specialists in Dnipro, many children, among whom there are more and more immigrants lately. We ask for your support in paying for the systematic work of a psychologist with children!

Yaroslavchik Kobets was a Kharkiv citizen in February. The baby was born in complicated childbirth, from the first years of life he lags behind in development. Parents did a lot of work with the child, took him to psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, speech therapists. But the war nullified all their efforts. Yaroslav reacted very nervously to the shelling. When shells exploded somewhere in the city, he screamed and cried, dragging the adults and the cat to the vestibule, where the family had made a shelter. So the mother with the boy and the grandmother got together and left for the Dnieper. Here they found a specialist, to whom Yaroslavchik simply runs to classes. Engaged in the development of attention, speech, motor skills – the result is excellent! But it is difficult for immigrants to pay for classes.

Nastenka Dyachenko is a migrant of the first wave. In 2015, they moved from Makeevka, first to Svyatogorsk, then to Dnipro. Already in the Dnieper, developmental delay was discovered, and later autism was diagnosed. We found a good kindergarten, the child was actively developing. But the school began to regress. Aggression appeared, the child began to get lost on the playground. Nastya's mother now not only works, but also volunteers to the fullest. Nastya needs classes with a psychologist, but the family does not always have enough money for this.

Bogdan Roguzhinsky has Down syndrome. He is a teenager, and of course this affects behavioral issues. He does not keep his distance from others, teases other children, runs around and laughs for no reason. Again, a specialist is required. But the prices of everything have risen in recent months, but the earnings of parents have not. Bogdan's family needs help.

There are many such families. And our help is occasionally asked for healthy brothers and sisters of children with disabilities or foster parents – for their children.

The cost of the lesson is at least UAH 400. To have a result, you need at least 10 sessions in a row.

We are glad that a culture of turning to a psychologist when necessary is emerging in the country. We hope that you will support our children and they will catch up with their peers in development, improve relationships with others, and heal their psychological trauma!
