Larisa

Larisa is no more available for adoption.

Silent girl with deep said eyes that doesn’t comes together with her age. That’s how I saw Larisa. For 17 years she has been rooted to the wheelchair and never made a step. Lara’s world is talking with best friend Katya and knitting with beads for long hours – the girl can make small colorful bracelets.

With a new toy

Larisa is one of the most intelligent children in Kalinovkaas her educators say. Life without parents’ care in four walls made her that silent and thoughtful. One present - stuffed animal – and the girl blooming in her smile.

Children from Kalinovka are like small little suns in some special world. That is why they need special parents for them, with double-triple patience and compassion. Maybe there is this special family in a face of our readers, who would accept a child as one is. Thus parents are recommended to read jotting for potential adapters or contact found members.

Besides adopting, there is another way to give special-needs-children family atmosphere. We have an idea to equip a separate house in Kalinovka, where seven kids would be living in an condition close to family’s. Kids would have their own sleeping and playing rooms, kitchen, where they would drink a tee with their “mother”. And let it be not their real mother, but found employee – but she will be caring about them as a real one! About ways of donation transferring for Kalinovka’s children helping You can read here
