A fourteen-year-old girl in a wheelchair plays with pleasure with younger children and is making serious plans for her future.
"I dream of getting married and having three children," says Ania, embarrassed: "But I can not walk"... Ania studies in the eighth form and doesn’t like school much, most of all she likes reading and drawing. Her best friends are cousin Max and Vovka-bully, her brother, who is one and a half years old. 

Yan just went to the first grade and did not even have time to get acquainted with all his classmates when he was diagnosed with shoulder bone cancer. Yan knows perfectly what his diagnosis means and that he needs long-term treatment. Yan also understands that his mom doesn’t have the money for treatment. The woman is a single parent, his father abandoned the family long ago and wasn’t interested in his son’s life. His son whose hand now has to be saved from amputation. 

They were terribly beaten, raped, mocked. Some people stayed in the same room with the mother’s dead body for a long time, some could not eat for weeks, some wandered and became homeless due to problems. All these children have been collected for 11 years by the Help Center “Home of Happy Children” – a charitable foundation that exists on our donations. Room rent, utilities, food, holidays - this is already 4 years that UBB benefactors have been helping to pay.

Every woman who carries a baby under her heart can feel them stirring. She would gladly insert a flower into her hair and go to daydream. About the legs running along the alleys of the park, about blond hair fluttering in the wind, about children's secrets and small kids’ hands. So does Ira... But alas. She was lucky to become a mother of two children at the same time and, as many of us dream about, of both boy and girl. But her happiness was overshadowed by a general diagnosis – cerebral palsy. Today Maria and Roman are already 5 years old. Their whole life, as well as their mother's one, they spend in hospitals, on medications, in despair, on rehabilitation and in tears of joy after small victories.
