Babushka Adoption

Sponsor Hayden M Wetzel has been supporting Lyudmila Ivanovna, one of beneficiaries of the "Babushka Adoption" Foundation for the last 9 years. The fate of this babushka was very difficult. She was born in 1938 in Leningrad city (Russia) and grew up in an orphanage. In 1960 she got married, but she could not have children because of health problems. Due to the reason the relationship with her husband became complicated and they got divorced. In 1964 after the divorce Lyudmila Ivanovana moved to Frunze city, Soviet Socialist Kyrgyz Republic. During her life this babushka worked in the field of the “Kolkhoz” (Soviet collective farm). After the collapse of the Soviet Union she started receiving a small pension, and she didn’t have anyone to ask for help.
Fortunately, in 2002, she  applied for support to the charitable Foundation “Babushka Adoption”, where she got to know and then personally met with her sponsor Hayden M Wetzel, who finally visited his beneficiary in 2009, having arrived from Washington DC, USA. For 9 years they have been very good friends, Lyudmila Ivanovna always writes letters to her sponsor, and he is happy to answer them and sends small gifts on holidays to Lyudmila Ivanovna. On the eve of the new year 2012 Hayden M Wetzel decided to congratulate babushka in a special way and gave her a wonderful two-compartment refrigerator. For Lyudmila Ivanovna it was a real Christmas gift. Babushka Ludmila was so touched she broke into tears, as she was absolutely alone in this world, but her eyes were sparkling with happiness, because it's so great to realize that there is a person who cares about you ...
