Nine-year-old Vanya Voronova, the victim in the Donbass and delivered in Moscow, was transferred from intensive care unit to a regular room. There he is with his mother. The child who lost legs, arms and eyes, preparing for the next operations.
Vanya asks: honor. Before the incident Vanya, like all boys, preferred computer game. Now he promises his mother that if the doctors will return the sight to read a lot, a lot.
Eight-year-old child suffered from an explosion in the yard of his house, where he played with his brother. Five-year-old brother Vanya Timothy died on the spot. From the projectile and died stepfather boys. Ivan lost his right arm and both legs. In his eyes dust, splinters, but the doctors do not exclude that he can return to the child's vision. At least one eye. Positive dynamics is the eye responds to light. Family Voronovich of Shakhtersk since the beginning of the conflict in the South-East of Ukraine went from Donbass twice. And each time came back when there was calm, because I was drawn back home to loved ones. Now she, the mother Vani, doubts that he would return: "Yes, I stayed there mom and dad. But to return to an empty house, where until recently was all, and now nothing, I don't want to." One day she lost her husband and youngest son.
Vanya's mother supports, said: "let's stay in Moscow. Will live with you and aunt. And home will come to visit Timosha (lost brother Vani - approx. as amended) for the New year". Dull thuds in Shakhtersk rang constantly. "I remember, took Vanya in school, begins to roar, Vanya says: no, mom, I'm afraid, go home. This has happened several times, we went and came back, " recalls Les. And one day something happened, what happened. I don't even know whose it was a shell from which side it came, is not interesting to me. I know that the true culprit of the incident - war, terrible war".
When it happened, native Vani understood that children need to take from the Donbass, began to collect money for transportation on their own, because local authorities simply do not have money in the city do not even pay pensions and salaries.
"Lesja and her family in town all know, she worked on mine, her mom there all his life worked. Nobody could get past this grief - friends and acquaintances of the family created the parent Committee, began to put the boxes to collect funds to help van in public places, to collect money on the Internet," says sister Lesya Hope Salasnik. The Network started the action with the hashtag #ЯВаня, by analogy with the Paris event #JeSuisCharlie in support of killed employees satirical magazine. Vanino photo differed on social networks. The family Voronovich carried money, books, toys. But with transportation of the sick child from dangerous areas all the time something broke. Suddenly it turned out that the issue of transportation is solved with the organization helped the Russian Ministry of emergency situations, Ministry of health, "First channel".
In the Donetsk hospital on Thursday van was scheduled for surgery to amputate her legs above the knee. But in the night from Wednesday to Thursday Vanya with his mother already crossed the border and went to Rostov airport so that we could go to Moscow. Vanya Voronova, along with another victim in the Donbass girl Oksana brought to the capital by a special MES. Children adopted in the research Institute of emergency children's surgery and immediately began the examination. As it turned out, van lucky. Moscow doctors after examining said that his knees will save. So, to live with dentures child will be much easier. Now the best doctors discuss how to save Vanino vision.
Lesja does not depart from Vani - the child phantom pain. When mom asks Vanya that hurts, he meets the fingers and heels. What's no longer there. "It's not just the pain, it is the processes that occur in the brain, with them that it's very difficult to do," says Les. Van give painkillers, he bravely endures everything. When we were lucky, I was amazed by his stamina, as he steadfastly endured, even though he's a baby."
Lesja was constantly calling those who want to help, to participate in the fate of Vani. So much so, that complete strangers offer to help with housing in Moscow. Transfer books and toys, and write messages with words of support. She doesn't have time to read when she is distracted by the phone, Vanya irritable. But by trying to answer.
There is still a lot. Surgery, long recovery period, stay in an unfamiliar city. Van will have to re-learn to walk.
Lesja and Vanya - people strong. "In the Forest of steel rod, it does not allow himself to relax for a minute," said her sister Hope. I also try not to regret. I know that they will cope".
