Summary

I was once so young that life’s cruelties forced me onto the unforgiving, snow-covered streets of Kiev when I was only nine years old. I endured severe emotional and physical abuse at home, which drove me to a desperate existence as a street child. Through a series of unexpected encounters and the compassionate intervention of people who truly cared, I slowly discovered that hope could be born even in the darkest of circumstances. By trusting in God’s deliverance, I began a transformative journey—a journey of healing, acceptance, and ultimately, the gift of a loving adoptive family. Today, I look back with gratitude for every trial I survived because it has led me to a new life filled with hope, love, and the assurance that even the smallest act of kindness can change everything.
