Children of Petrovskiy district
February 13th, “Donbass Humanitarian Aid” returned to Petrovsky District to help 4 families and bring some sports equipment for School #103 in Donetsk in the ‘red zone’.
First, we met Olya, a cute 11 year old redhead whose house is literally in the No Man’s Land between DPR and Ukrainian positions. Her Mom was killed by shelling, her Dad is deprived of parental rights. She lives with her Grandmom, Uncle and Brother. Brother was wounded going to school, Uncle lost both legs from shelling.
We brought 5 basketballs, 3 volleyballs and 2 soccer balls to the school. The kids are real athletes, and really appreciated these gifts. The soccer balls they had were losing skin and peeling, the basket balls were more lemon shaped than round. They have real skills in sports, and it is a shame for them to not have even the most basic equipment. Three other families with disabled kids were visited – we brought food, medicine and pampers. The pampers are a MAJOR item – they are expensive, many families can’t afford them, but they make a huge difference in the quality of life, not only for the disabled kids, but for the loving parents who care for them. BIG THANKS to everyone who contributed to Donbass Human Aid for this project.
