After a coma

In the "Blessed Artels" give special people the opportunity to feel the necessary and important in the world where they are used to not notice

Help the life path to help

Lesha had everything - family, children, youth, health, sports prospects. A bright life in two chopped ice. Substance. Frontal blow. Coma. Paralysis. Disability. Boom-boom-boom, like bell strikes. Severe traumatic brain injury, a fracture of three vertebrae, almost all ribs, multiple fractures of both legs, damage to internal organs, torn wounds of soft tissues, blood loss of more than 60%. They do not live with such a bouquet of injuries. For two years, Donetsk doctors gathered a guy in almost parts. After three 12-hour operations, anesthesia was almost never taken.

“I came to my senses after a coma - a plant. And no chance. The right leg was collected in pieces, the knee cup on the wire dangles. All in the seams and scars. Only his hands were not injured, ”says Alexei. Then, in the rehabilitation center, two years later, where he learned to live and walk again, his doctors asked to go to support the desperate heavy patients. When an ordinary healthy person says the supports of support, they say, everything will be fine - it does not work. The surviving meat grinder was believed by Alexei.

He talks about it easily, even fun. Lucky, he says, thank you, the face was sewn up very carefully, and there was no scars left. But the nose, forehead and chin were in wounded wounds. The body is already, probably, the trainees were given. And the large volume of glorified donor blood was completely on the body as the fellow apples acted. “I don't look for 40 years. They don’t give more than 30, ”Alexey laughs. "Really?" And he tells how out of interest he goes to different castings for filming in advertising and promotions. And a couple of times he flickered on the television screen and even played the main role in the show about divorces. This does not bring much money, but invigorates and helps to shake it. The cheerful cheerfulness was very useful in Moscow.

Lesha and his family moved here in the summer of 2014, when war came to the Donbass. He was born and lived in Donetsk. He graduated from the Donetsk Technical University, received a diploma of a mining engineer. Married. The accident turned everything upside down. He coped with this, adapted. But when they started shooting around the city, I realized that I had to leave and take away the family. Kyiv? Crimea? Moscow! They threw a good large apartment, got into the car and drove away. He, wife, son and daughter, weather. There are no Russian documents, only temporary registration and migration card for 90 days.

He grabbed for any work. Then he came home and fell - the operated load spine did not forgive

At first, there was a hope that all residents of the DPR, as Crimeans, would be given Russian passports. Did not give. Now they just rely on fate. Children study at school, excellent students, are involved in the sidelines with shooting sports. And with documents, Alexey is convinced, a vicious circle. To get citizenship, you need money. To have money, you need to work. The work takes all the time. Run for months with pieces of paper - there will be nothing to eat. Every three months you have to load and cross the border together.

At first in Moscow, he grabbed for any work. He was a seller, a promoter, was sitting on the phone, chairs and cleaned snow. Then he came and fell. The operated spine with titanium plates did not forgive such a load instead of the vertebrae. In the train he lost consciousness more than once. He got used to Moscow transport and distances. Now ammonia and nitroglycerin always carry with him, suddenly someone will become bad for someone nearby, and he can help as they helped him.

The coolest work was at night to pack semi -finished products at the power supply plant of a large supermarket network. They paid a little there, but once a shift was perfectly fed. He tried to eat for the future in order to hold out until the next night. The main thing at home is to feed children. They now have the most growth, 11 and 12 years, sports loads. They constantly want to eat. On food, Alexei still saves for himself. All day holds on one tea.

About the "Blessed Artel" - a carpentry workshop where people work with mental features, which are almost impossible to find a job in our lives - Leshina has read on Facebook. And Lesha went to get acquainted with its founder Andrei Tevkin. At first I thought that it would be a temporary part-time job until there was something more monetary. But in the "Blessed Artel" stuck. And I no longer want to leave. “There is a very cool atmosphere here. I admire Andrei Yakovlevich. His unreal patience and the ability to find an approach to everyone. What a big thing he pulls on himself! And always on positive, with humor. And I began to feel better, communicating with him, ”Alexey admits.

She did her job and work with her hands, fine motor skills - good rehabilitation at the CHMT. “Still, such injuries like mine do not go away. I learned to control myself, but the injury makes itself felt. I have partial amnesia, memory problems. Sometimes I can not remember elementary things. There are outbreaks of anger, irritability. I learned to control them, but they still happen. It’s hard for me to be in one position because of the spine. I can’t work quickly, make sudden movements. But to calculate, draw, collect - I can. " In the "Artel" Lesha is taken for any part -time job. It works all day until Andrei begins to drive him home. It is important for Lesha to know that tomorrow morning he will come to the workshop again, and he will have the opportunity to earn.

It is important for any person to be useful

Andrei Tevkin is convinced that all people can work in one way or another, regardless of the severity of the disease. And that it is important for any person to be useful and see the result of their work, I want to work better and earn more. He created the “Blessed Artel” to give such an opportunity to those who are difficult or even impossible to do without support, who cannot find their place in the open labor market. From whom most often they simply dismiss, will not notice. The more in the country there will be accompanied jobs, the more active people with disabilities and their family.

The “need” fund collects money for expenditure materials and for the salary of teachers and psychologists “Blessed Artels”. Help those who can and want to work and earn money, but who needs support for specialists for this. Specialists who know how to teach those who are customary not to notice.
