a separate refrigerator filled with medicine. don't take half what some a quarter everyone has their own dose. the . but seven o'clock sharp every morning and evening the kids and their father take their medication yes science cannot afford to forget as their lives depend on. them i just wanted to help at least one person who you could say i felt that when i was having contractions before giving birth to anya a doctor came by and said oh that's the one with the husband who's a child the positive and then all the doctors suddenly changed they started to protect themselves like they were going into space. ten facemasks fifteen pairs of
10:32 am
gloves everything they had i was thrown into an isolation ward and my husband wasn't allowed anywhere near me. there most of the nine hundred ninety two it was a hospital that handed down their verdict you might say. they diagnosed me with her weight order of the bed was smashed up or leave the mattress and i was just dumped on a rubbish. and then they discharged me from hospital with a temperature of more than thirty nine degrees celsius. over to me i felt like a complete social outcast where you know good morning everyone everyone i knew relatives neighbors friends. they all just turned their backs on i mean you're doing if you're out of the water where i was devastated well for a month or two of probably i didn't want to talk to anyone i wanted to be left alone no you're not for what you are and so i started taking drugs. that was my way
10:33 am
to kill the payments to combat the depression. it was a really terrible time. i was given a black eye in a fight. they hit me on the head with a hammer. and. that was when i understood i knew that i had to find some new direction to move in they are new and so. that's how i found the church. ten years ago i saw an absolutely shattered life at my door seemed he was just a couple of steps away from the grave they don't even notice people like that's in fact they want to push them away. came here with a broken soul and a desperate future she didn't have a problem with drugs but she did have other problems they brought her to the rehabilitation center in handcuffs. i just. thank you god for your sons and daughters forgive us and break the curse in these
10:34 am
people's lives. break the devils call us and bless them. all to rehab they fell in love and they came to me they said they were in love they want to start a family and i said no way i don't even want to hear about that you're a should be positive and she isn't so don't do that please but they came back again saying pastor we love each other we really mean it with us you know that if you're not there it was only after we saw him for the third time to ask him to marry us that he said ok guys it's your fate it's your decision. and then he gave us his blessing and he married off. the first pregnancy was very difficult. for expecting twins and already had names for them. and you survived the boy died in childbirth after the tragedy expect law and asked her
10:35 am
husband to adopt a child they decided to take one who was hiv positive. after people learned about the adoption they were really shocked as it turned out it was the first official adoption of an inch any positive child in ukraine. children study in an ordinary village school the lower supposed to protect those living with a child be from social discrimination but only their adoptive mother can protect them from ignorance. there are three different school hard to focus on one day i received a phone call from the headmaster i was told that some of the parents there were causing a fuss my kids had hiv it could be passed on and they were worried about if i had to meet the parents and explain to them that for the virus to transfer my child would have to cut open their arm along with yours and rub the two together. only after that debate calmed down a bit but i still get looks from time to time. oh
10:36 am
. i'm sorry if this had to do with their children so they sometimes get into scraps and sometimes they bleed the main thing the parents were afraid of is that blood would get on somebody and they would catch the virus i try to make sure this doesn't happen i'm always with them. oh ah. yeah we. do think of this but we just asked not to fight bite or pinch one another not to eat from the same. look in the. saliva contains a small percent of the virus but this is so minute that infection from saliva is impossible to household and old jets like cups sporks and shared bathrooms and
10:37 am
towels cannot transmit the virus. you know was a bit when we took iraq home she was fine she could run and jump before everything was fine but last year she literally started to fall toward me is and couldn't walk or jump we sent her to the hospital for a checkup the doctors told us she was suffering from an overdose they said her medical treatment was all wrong. and then here are my family's hand friends with a semi there is mom. there was a dad and that's your right on the burner volage did he mean she spent about four months in the hospital mostly on a drip from one of them one of they were trying to flush out all those chemicals which is now we hope and pray and believe in america we ask god that chilled run
10:38 am
again just the way she used to you know i'm sick of you. you know you change your treatment she needs to go through a series of massages. but the thing is that now we treat the virus but damage her liver. come here baby. what's wrong. when you have. your one happened. why are you crying. you had another tragedy like in week thirty two or thirty three of the pregnancy i gave birth prematurely the boys died and it was the first one within five minutes the other within two days this year they would have turned for.
10:39 am
well if they had been little and healthy we would probably never ever have europe you're also sure. we didn't plan to have you ever actually we just thought i was going to have two boys and that would be yet. when they came to sasha's adoption but i refused to take her and even though they asked us to do so three times at that time i wasn't ready to make the decision either morally or psychologically she wasn't just him either positive like all the other kids and she also had stage four aids and tuberculosis was. my dream was to have parents to have a mom and dad for them to come and take me home. there aren't many people ready to
10:40 am
take kids we nursed her like a flower. it was the first new year's eve i spent with a family. i got a lot of presents. that was a dollar. and a lot of dress is. so huge and unbelievable to me i've never had something like that before. blossom like a rose we got her better and she finally blossomed this year she's going to turn fourteen we draw always seeing we do gymnastics we can do it all. in. all am. that's fun donna been around for just this is things are completely different no.
10:41 am
treatment is all over and the cells have grown up with that of the doctors just tried their shoulders they can't understand it i think it's all about the family when you're really feel it things can change quickly i think diseases can be treated with love affection when you can. teach. us to thank you everyone for that stunned the nation for the sawyer family. great. group and that moment it was like a dream come true a dream come true because we're just ordinary people from a village. and it was so fantastic to stand there in front of the whole country
10:42 am
and to hear the applause. of the politicians and the famous athletes of ukraine it was amazing. but there is it's quite heavy. and they could say it's just good for cracking nuts it's no good for anything else. he just laughed a bit cried and that was that. it would go where you know what the woman driver got of all the money i make mostly goes towards medication that. takes a lot to get them back on their feet after chemotherapy you know. good off every time we leave the village we drive here past our unfinished house.
10:43 am
they promised us a good home for the kids every one of us to have his own room said one politician he was a successful businessman. but he was just good enough to pull concrete for the foundations that was it i think it was a p.r. stunt to election run up we've got a. look at what the front hole was to be here. and the lounge with a t.v. set the kitchen and the big terrorists. to go to our second floor was going to have several bedrooms each for two people who would. misha has two sisters they live one hundred kilometers away from us. never seen them though his mother found out that she was hiv positive when she was in the
10:44 am
maternity ward and she immediately gave him up. a while later she had enough in prison his grandmother took the girls because they were healthy but misha had to go to an orphanage. broke through a good once he came back from school really upset he said he was never going to go back there ever again so i asked him what happened with him he said they told him professor i just burst out laughing he didn't understand yet so i told him if you're able to become a real professor i'll be completely happy to have a bright sign like that he thought it was a rude word to. me sure and were adopted right after the twins' death the doctors tried to convince her that she would not be able to have children again at that point already had eight adopted children as well as their own daughter. everyone says were a bit crazy but i really felt something inside my heart something like if you was
10:45 am
to take another two will be blessed so it happened like we adopted two children and i got pregnant mediately their daughter was born perfectly healthy. once a girl wrote to me she said she'd heard my story and decided to marry a man with h. i v but things didn't go well she got infected and had a positive child. and i know that i don't have it but still sometimes i have thoughts that maybe i do but i know that i'm not infected with that. quite often and those couples have healthy children the father cannot and the child the virus can be transmitted only by the mother. is the mother doesn't have it during conception it means the child is going to be one hundred percent healthy the little. fellow.
10:46 am

10:47 am
want to say it once again. people are like us a lot of them are amazing. both of your gnostic analogy has set up what's probably the biggest shelter for children in the whole of the former soviet union. these are kids who used to live in basements do you think they were addicted to various sorts of drugs. is the thirty second one i officially adopted. is number thirty two. but called for in the place where i usually put the number maybe i don't remember. if you will move the pasta was the first to tell us about the orphans and the homeless children. all children should have their own family we started to get involved in that because of him which we would probably have from the age of seven to nine i was living on the streets asking people for money i'd
10:48 am
