My most recent endeavor is to find a sponsor to purchase and ship adaptive equipment to Znamianka orphanage in Ukraine.
Znamianka orphanage is located in the Kirovograd region of Ukraine, which is south of Kyiv, Ukraine's capital city. The orphanage is a level 4 facility, meaning that children with severe mental and physical disabilities live here. In the past two years, Children of Chornobyl Relief and Development Fund has found a rehabilitationist to work with children there, which has made a huge impact on the mobility of many of the children there. However, many children would profit from using adaptive equipment to allow them to move around freely. Also, bed ridden children with the help of specific chairs, could engage in more activities. All of these improvements would give children more freedom and confidence about themselves.
The orphanage director is enthusiastic about working with NGO's and therefore, this orphanage has seen a lot of transition in the past couple of years.
Right now, I have some ideas how we can get this project going, but I will definitely keep updating on the status of this project. See below for a list of equipment we are trying to get:
