Help an Angel Fly

“HELP AN ANGEL FLY”
CHRISTMAS SPONSOR PROGRAM
(now through Christmas in Ukraine, January 7th, 2012)
**Our goal is to provide a better life for these very special “Angels”. We wish to give them “WINGS TO FLY”!!! This program will allow us to continue to provide the essential aid for them to be lifted out of their lives of despair.
**For eight years our “Wishing on an Angel” Christmas program has provided joy for thousands of children in many orphanages in Ukraine. This year we are adding another Christmas program “Help an Angel Fly” to provide wings for the special needs Angel Orphans in our Bedridden program.
**Each of these children have specific needs that we would like to address for each child. Some of the diagnoses of these “Angels” include severe intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, down syndrome, hydrocephalus, paraparesis, paralysis, cardiomyopathy, demiplegia, degenerative diseases of the neurological system, microcephaly and epilepsy.
**Many of these children have difficulties with sucking, chewing, swallowing and feeding themselves. This contributes to an inability to adequately gain weight and grow adequately in height. Often their speech is delayed or difficult to understand. They have difficulties with movement and getting out of bed. They are in need of food with increased calories and texture differences (chopped, pureed, blended and thickened liquids). They need special untensils for feeding (syringes, spoons…). Some children require special needs equipment including those asociated with correctly positioning the child in order to improve the child’s chewing and processing ability.
**Please see the items that we have purchased and wish to continue to provide for these Orphan Angels:
