"The Forgotten"
-
We visited this facility in the summer for the first time. It is an invalid facility for over 300 children and adults, ages 4 -
-
The room is lined with beds ALL with children in them, though some you can't see the children. You can hear moaning from under
-
These 'lumps' under the blankets are children!
-
EVERY child is SPECIAL, and we try to visit and comfort each of them.
-
This little girl still was asking for her 'momma to come and get her'. She 'wants to go home'. She is 11 yrs. old.

We offered this little one the recent photo of him and Lydia, it is next to his bed.

This little boy has an eye infection.

We tried to visit with every child.

This child with a special need, is in need of medical attention.

This boy was just precious. We have known him for 2 years, as he was once in another facility.

Dave is here with Vika. She is unstoppable, and though they want her to stay in bed, she won't do this........good for her!

These teens were effected by Chernobyl. They are 16, 16, 18 and 19 yrs. old.

This young man is wrapped up to keep him from 'hurting himself or others', though we no saw no agressive type behavior.

Many of these children just need special attention for their developmental needs.
