I would like to introduce you to Sam and Andy. They are brothers who desperately need a home. They are almost out of time before they become a mere statistic. These loving boys are about to become homeless. Their smiles will soon be lost once they numb the pain of living on the streets by sniffing glue. They will seek refuge in the sewers to keep warm. Orphans are outcasts in Ukraine. So the only doors that will open for them are crime or prostitution. 70% of orphan boys will enter a life of crime. About 10% of them will commit suicide after leaving the orphanage. Ukraine does not have homeless shelters or food programs. The sewer is their shelter and trash cans are their food programs.
Stop for a moment and look at these boys.
Please understand all these boys want is a chance and a family. Someone to call mom and dad. A place to feel safe and warm at night. A family that will love them, hug them, and protect them. They long to have a christmas morning surrounded by family and not in a sewer with rats and feces. They are asking to be saved from the streets, from a life of begging, hunger, disease, horror, and pain. Everyone deserves love and a family no matter what age they are. Please help these boys.
There is still a chance, if a family is found immediately for them, that a loop hole can be found.
Is there any information about their personalities or anything else that potential parents would want to know?

ReplyDeleteI know I need to call on this, but I just read your post on RR. Do you know when the younger boy's birthday is?
