Marya is 15 years old, 11 of which she has lived and studied in an orphanage. She has two older adult brothers and a younger sister who is studying here. Marya is very difficult. She wants to seem older and more independent than she actually is with the help of her appearance. Behind the feigned skepticism in dealing with unfamiliar adults even the unprofessional psychologist can see a desperate call for help. 15 years - this is a difficult time, even for the home girl, who lives with parents.
Marya will soon have to make a difficult choice, since she will one day leave the orphanage where her thirteen-year sister is staying. And then Marya will be all alone - without a clear understanding of the profession, the purpose of life, without a vision of the future. The girl is already in the mood that in adulthood she could wait for nothing, as well as expect nothing from adults. But your loving heart will help melt the snow in Marya’s eyes.
This girl deserves to be happy, just like every child without parents. And only the family will help her to turn from a mordant rebel into a light gentle girl who one day will become a good wife and loving mother.
Marya has a sister Natalia who was born in 2000 (Profile # 0059870).

Other children who dream of finding a family
If for some reason you are currently not able to adopt (for example, you are a student and do not have a family of your own yet) you are still able to help children at a boarding school (an orphanage) with your financial support. Ways you can help include: planning and participating in excursions and trips for children; visiting a child in an orphanage; or helping purchase developmental toys, books, construction sets, and sports equipment.
