A child needs a family: Denis F., born in 1998

March 15, 2011, 8:00 5246 Author: www.deti.zp.ua, translated by Elena Guda www.deti.zp.ua Denis is 18 years old now.

From all the school subjects the boy likes only labor and physical culture. He plays basketball, volleyball and table tennis with pleasure. Also, he goes in for dancing and singing; performs at school holidays. He has both the abilities and attraction for this.

Romantic appeal of long-distance travels attracts him, too. Only once Denis managed to go to Kiev with an excursion organized by our foundation. It was long ago but he remembers it willingly; he told me about his impressions.

Denis is hot-tempered and passionate: such is his character. But when I was taking pictures of him he felt very shy and blushed to the tips of his ears. Normally, the idea to help someone does not come to his head but if Denis is asked to help he performs everything carefully and tries to do his best.

In short, Denis is an ordinary teenager. The only unusual thing about him is that he lives in a boarding school and dreams of a thing common to the majority of the children of his age. Denis needs a family and an ordinary childhood. He has a brother and Denis loves him very much. But parents are the main point. Because who else can give him warmth, care and protection and teach him how to find his place in life?

Denis has brother Sasha, born in 1996

If you are interested in adopting Denis or other children, please read the memo to the potential adoptive parents, guardians and foster parents; you can also contact Service of children’s affairs of the Zaporozhye state administration by the telephone (061) 239-02-51 and to request the profile № 0057705 (Denis) or № 0057706 (Sasha).

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 from the boarding school (orphanage) through your organizational or financial support of excursions and trips for the children; you can also visit children in the orphanage or help in purchases of development toys, construction sets, books and sport equipment.

Without our support, fifteen-year-old Maksym Didenko will not be able to continue his vital rehabilitation and corrective classes. Please help raise funds for the boy’s treatment and development!
