I say family is cool because older brother Oleg (in blue T-shirt in photo and video) remained after the death of his mother (last year) as guardian of two younger brothers: 14 year-old Dmitry and his clever 5-year-old brother Ivan.
So, the 20-year-old brother provides as would a Mom or Dad: cooking, feeding, laundry, housekeeping, Β does homework.
The Guys are displaced from Lisichansk, and have lived more than a year in a family-type hostel in the village of Neslukhiv, Lviv region, where, as you know, I often go to pass on your donations – gifts, food, toys, etc. to families there.
Dimitry and Ivan
Oleg only receives 12700 UAH from the state, but he has to take care of his younger brothers all the time.
So he can’t leave them and attempt to find to outside work.
I have an idea that he might be able to apply to IT companies who offer tutoring and training courses where he could have the opportunity to study for a programming education or degree, which in turn would allow him to work from home without leaving his younger siblings.
Of course, a good computer will be needed to implement this plan.
Oleg was quite passionate about the idea and I promised to help him do it.
You know what impressed me the most when I visited the boys?
Oleg and Ivan
Perfect cleanliness and orderliness. . I haven’t seen this in any other orphan’s apartment (I don’t want to offend anyone. Everyone has been relatively clean). For me it’s a signal of self discipline and responsibility.
Therefore, I believe that a long-term and effective plan to help this family will be to teach the older brother – the family guardian to earn properly and support the younger ones.
I will be very grateful for your feedback and ideas, the ways to best solve this issue.
P.S. The photo measured the growth of little Ivan with the prospect of delivering my promised clothes and shoes for Spring.
Once again, everyone sincerely thank you for your support!
With people like you, Ukraine will inevitably defeat any enemy!
