With these words all hell broke loose in our Rustamchik Lernich family. What we were so afraid of happened: the disease came back with renewed vigor. Now Rustam and his mother are having a hard time. The boy is spending in hospital bed almost all the time, he is in a lot of pain and suffering from serious malaise. From yesterday the boy's…
Looking at these children, our adult problems seem insignificant and insignificant... Some of these kids grew up in an orphanage and never knew their mother's hands...
