Opening of “Veras” – is not only important, but personal time – said at the opening of the center of Natalia Vodianova. – If such a center in Nizhny Novgorod, 22 years ago, it is possible that the fate of my sisters had a different (younger sister Natalie Oksana – disabled children – Ed.). “Veras” – is, above all, support for families who are raising special children, and this is difficult, at times an impossible task for some. Together we hope to create in the future ideal support center with the professional medical care, which will become an example for other regions. In Russia, at times dangerous to talk about philanthropy, government support for affected children are also poor. But we are on the right path, and to care about our army now joined by new people.
In this institution children, young people with disabilities and their parents will be provided free of psychological and educational and rehabilitative services.
