"This is hard"

Lena and glory are not even thirty, it would seem, until recently they left the orphanage, but they are already raising four children. It is not easy, but help is always there

“It was in the kindergarten that they did for the New Year that she is in a gorgeous house is not true,” Lena runs her palm in a foal -shutty photograph, where her eldest daughter in a yellow polka dot dress sits by a huge fireplace on white carpet.

There are no fireplace or carpet on twenty -seven square meters of communal meters. The entire decoration of the two rooms of Lena and Glory is a laid out sofa, chair, cooler, refrigerator, cabinets, a table, a constantly turned on TV and cribs. In the passage of the hall only two people are placed, these two are Kolya and Ksyusha, older children. Kolya - eight, Ksyusha - four. Brother and sister are jumping in the aisle, shouting each other and showered me with questions.

Parents jokingly-strictly send children to another room. Kolya runs away, Ksyusha rounds his eyes: “I won’t go, there are monsters, scary, green and green. No, black! " Parents laugh, Ksyusha allow to stay. Every five minutes they are interrupted ridiculous: "Don’t bother you!"

"I thought he would leave me too"

Lena and Glory were born and grew up in different areas of Novosibirsk. Rather, in different orphanages. We met five years ago by chance, then Lena then went on the twenty -second year, the glory was twenty:

“She has brother Tolik from my orphanage.” We somehow drove here ...

“And he didn’t leave anymore,” Lena interrupts her husband. The family lives with her - she sold her apartment after graduation from the school and bought two rooms in a communal apartment. Glory to his apartment also sold.

Three years before, Lena gave birth to Kolya.

- I lived with a guy in a civil marriage, and when I became pregnant, we parted, and I got to the center for single mothers. I wanted to do an abortion from fear: I have not yet graduated from the school, there was no apartment. But the director of the orphanage dissuaded me. In the house for single mothers, I met the first husband, Kolya his son according to documents. But Slavka, count, raised, taught to the pot. Prove, glorious? - Lena casts a grateful look at her husband. - I generally thought that he would leave me too, because he was young at all. But he - no, did not leave.

One would be more difficult, Lena admits:

- Now he will get a refueling, I don’t know how I will.

“Yes, everything will be fine, I already worked in two days,” my husband brushes. - Oh, where I just didn’t bring me: he worked in the “tape”, and shook the carbon dioxide. There was dangerous production. The balloon will explode on the pumping - and that’s it.

The youngest son, almost two -year -old Daniel, begins to cry. Glory jumps, takes out the baby from the stilts and goes after clean diapers.

"Nothing will be fine"

Four children are always difficult, Lena and Glory need to pay attention to everyone. But two of them especially need help and care. Eight -year -old Kolya has hypervil. The boy speaks poorly, studies at a special school and partially at home education, is registered in a psychiatric hospital. Three -year -old Natasha Hydrocephaly, and the girl does not look at her age - acquaintances still give her several months.

- The child was born with inflammation of the lungs, and immediately put a prenatal infection. But she was not so sluggish, - Lena raises her daughter's compressed handle. The girl does not react and continues to look somewhere in front of her: she cannot turn her head. - When I came to her in intensive care, her hands and legs - everything worked. And as the operations were done on the head, the left side of the whole refused, her whole arc bent her. And they say to me: it happens, you will share massages, everything will be fine. Nothing will be normal - for the first time in all the time, a hidden smile disappears on Lenin's face, his eyes dull. “She can't sit, nothing.”

Natasha has been waiting for a massage to massage: none of the specialists in the clinic does not agree to do it. Together with her, Danilka is waiting, who still does not know how to walk. The family does not have money for paid services, the sanatorium is also, and there are not always enough antiviral drugs for simple antiviral drugs. Eleven thousand children's benefits, three thousand alimony from the first husband of Lena and Slavina salary for six. Lena hopes that this fall, Kolya and Natasha disability will be able to arrange - then it should become a little easier.

- Well, I bought a syrup from cough, droplets. I give them three times a day. The rest is not. And Natasha also needs medications for epilepsy - she pounds her at night, rolls up, as if they were cut. It's hard. But I would still like the fifth child, I love them. But the fifth does not work out for me. Don't you want?

“These must be raised,” Slava cuts off.

"Permanent Clients"

The Sunny City Foundation helps the family - five years ago, Lena advised social protection here. The fund collects Kolya to school, gives clothes, food and diapers for Ksyusha, Natasha and Danila, and also looks after children if they go to the hospital.

Lena takes Danila by the hands and releases. He, laughing, staggering. Two step, and he falls into the hands of fame. The older brother and sister applaud loudly. "Don’t knock, you scare him!" - Lena shouts, but he also begins to clap with joy. In the family, they often laugh, no matter what, from any funny little thing. When Glory tells how the lawn mower drove through his passport, or when Lena almost stomps with her legs, if she does not like something. Do not laugh only when Lena freezes with Natasha in her arms.

Kolya picks up his brother under the armpits to help him get back to his mother. Both boys cough - caught a cold.

“Our pediatrician knows that we are a poor family, and she immediately sends us to the infectious disease,” says Lena.

"Infectious diseases" is the Novosibirsk Infectious Dianger, where the Sunny City project "Hospital Children" works. For twelve years, nannies with a pedagogical and medical education have been taking care of children from orphanages and families and play with them when parents cannot stay in the hospital.

- I remember Kolka was small, I was lying in the hospital with him - then there were no nannies. Now we are trying to put them in an infectious disease, they care for them well. My husband works, I drive a child and sit with the rest, there are no options. And if you leave the sick house, the next day everyone will get sick, ”says Lena.

-If there is no nanny, then who will look after them? I think that with a nanny it is better much, more fun, ”Slava answers seriously. - They know our children well there, we are regular customers.

- Are you talking about my hospital? - asks Ksyusha. - We all lay in my hospital, only Kolya did not lie. The nannies there are good, funny. And I am also a doctor, now I’ll go and make a doll injection.

In large -families, poor families, such as Lena and Glory, the guys often get sick: one or the other, you can’t keep track of everyone. It is impossible to treat them at home, and there is no one to leave in the hospital - except for the nanny of the “Hospital Children” project. Please support the fund’s project - every donation will help make the kids that their parents cannot be around around the clock, professionals carefully take care of.
