8:31 pm
depend on it. 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 gloves everything they had i was thrown into an isolation ward and my husband wasn't allowed anywhere near me. during most of the nine hundred ninety two it was a hospital that handed down their verdict you might say. they diagnosed me with a 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 and i felt like a complete social outcast where you know good morning everyone everyone i knew
8:32 pm
relatives neighbors friends. they all just turned their backs on me or you could hear me you know you know why they were i was devastated well for a month or two of problem i didn't want to talk to anyone i wanted to be left alone you know like for you and so i started taking drugs. that was my way to kill the pain 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 on and that was when i understood i knew that i had to find some new direction to move in there near enough and so. that's how i found the church. ten years ago i saw an absolutely shattered life at my door seemed it was just
8:33 pm
a couple of steps away from the grave they don't even notice people like us 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 once. thank you god for your sons and daughters. forgive us and break the curse in these people's lives. break the devils call us and bless the. lord. 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
8:34 pm
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. survived the boy died in childbirth after the tragedy her 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 hiv from social discrimination but only their adoptive mother can protect them from ignorance. there's only did it the full article from one day i
8:35 pm
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. it . all. on. 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 but i try to make sure this doesn't happen i'm always with them. yeah we. do that but
8:36 pm
that's the way just as not to fight fight or pinch one another not to eat from the same. things but then the. saliva contains a small percent of the virus but this is so minute that infection from saliva is impossible to hold and all debts like cups forks and shared bathrooms and 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 and couldn't walk or jump and 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.
8:37 pm
and that here in my family's house and friends. they said. there is mom. there was a dad and that's you're right on the 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 again just the way she used to you know i'm sick of you. you know you've changed her 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. would you have.
8:38 pm
your what happened. why are you crying. for much earth but i hear you had another tragedy like in week thirty two or thirty three of the pregnancy i gave birth in which surely the boys died and it was the first one within five minutes the other within two days this year they would have turned four . well if they had been in the unhealthy we would probably never ever have your of your also show off your. 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 it came to sasha's adoption that 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
8:39 pm
either morally or psychologically that 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 take kids like us. if you would really like the dog who said she wouldn't be in this world for a long time i touched her head i had clumps of hair and my hand on the end of every morning her pillow was covered with their own hair and i thought i had to buy a week for her and we were told she was going to live about a year or two at most and i said ok let it be here or two but in a family let her feel it finally when i call children hiv flowers with the same as a flower you simply just have to water and nourish them that was what we needed to
8:40 pm
do 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 dresses. so huge and and to leave a ball 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 we seeing we do gymnastics we can do it all. all let them leave. the spot gonna be around.
8:41 pm
things are completely different no. treatment is all over the cells have grown up with that of the dog just tried to shoulder they can't understand it i think it's all about the family when you're really fail at things can change quickly i think diseases can be treated with love affection and care. but it's. not a. tough. call but. that's just the truth of the logic that the we. all know. that. the civilized world produces more food than it needs. well people die of hunger in
8:42 pm
other countries. millions of victims every year. where a meal is the most about trade. it. is flood or droughts to blame. then it was a bad year without a train. we couldn't find anything to. do with it all there was great hunger. to help comes too late and with good intentions. charity diplomacy and business want to. see a story and it seems. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else . and realize everything is all. part of the big picture.
8:43 pm
i don't want to be usually done. in the way. many of you do you believe that is what. you . think you mean i think. it is literally the world. but. you didn't hear him to the head not because they need to be in the mire and giving a little. as you will do the way you
8:44 pm
what. thank you thank you everyone for that stunning me of asian for the family. good grades. good 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 and to hear the applause of. one of the politicians and the famous athletes of ukraine it was amazing.
8:45 pm
but there is. a heavy load of them or they could say it's just good for cracking nuts it's no good for anything else. to do it cried and that was it. i'm a driver all the money i make mostly goes towards medication it. takes a lot to get them back on their feet after chemotherapy you know. every time we leave the village we drive here past our own finished house. 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 pour concrete for the

8:47 pm
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 you so i told him if you're able to become a real professor i'll be completely happy to have a bright sun 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 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
8:48 pm
a man with hiv but things didn't go well she got infected and had a positive child. 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 in fact the child the virus can be transmitted only by the most there. is a mother doesn't have it during conception it means to the child it's going to be one hundred percent healthy the little. fellow. what can i pick up my test results last night. when did you have the test yesterday . here is everything's fine at the negative yes thank you this is good bye. you know please don't follow my example you know it can

8:52 pm
i want you to have a really good ride today if you are a leader make at least fifty make the bike to much easier. when you do we carry the message about adopting children your main goal is to see that all of the orphanages are closed down. so that every child will have a place of their own. and i don't just mean good looking blue eyed ones i'm also talking about the handicapped kids with cerebral palsy the ones with aids or h. i.v. v. i think they all deserve regardless of how sick they may be you're with. and you. brought your own home he was nervous in tattered clothes and looked like
