I love children very much. Every time I see an unhealthy child, I feel the pain myself. How can such small children withstand such pain, suffering at their age? I would like to organize a charity Fund to help all the children who need help no matter how much money and time it takes. The main purpose of charity is to support the health of 'special' children, to provide them financially for treatment so that they would enjoy life as well as all healthy children do. I want to give joy to 'special' children.
Я очень люблю детей. Каждый раз, когда я вижу нездорового ребенка, я чувствую боль. Как могут такие маленькие дети выдержать боль, страдание в их возрасте? Я хотел бы организовать Благотворительный Фонд, чтобы всем детям, которые нуждаются в независимо от того, сколько денег и времени это займет. Главная цель благотворительности - поддержать здоровье "особенных" детей, обеспечить их материально для лечения, чтобы они радовались жизни так же, как и все здоровые дети. Я хочу дарить радость "особенным" детям.
