Russia's Forgotten Children

[@Chris66Mas]

This woman is a true inspiration! It fills my heart with joy.

[@jamesstewart9496]

God bless you , sister....I have been homeless in Montana USA and the only way I found to fill the void of my soul is to help those experienceing the same misfortunes as myself. YOUR efforts and self sacrifices will ring on and on for more years in the lives of those children and those that they will choose to love more then you could ever imagine my friend....thank you for what you have done and keep doing for this precious souls, the children.Thank you so very much, I wish there was more that I could do to help you all but here in the land of the lost ( USA) ...we are forced to hide in the tree lines and the shadows...but the children matter..they matter so much!! Thank you!THANK YOU !!!

[@JesusGodHolySpirit3]

You are homeless in USA? Really?

[@LoLuvLo]

@@JesusGodHolySpirit3 You're shocked? Surprised? We have a ton of homeless and we would have a million more if Government funding wasnt there for those that have children and can't afford to work yes cannot afford to work. Even if they did all their money would go to Daycare, Or proper education, lack of transportan etc. (Truthfully some are just lazy as hell but their kids don't deserve to suffer) the drug epidemic ... We have children here that starve and may if lucky eat once daily. Thank God for food baskets at churches etc. Shouldnt be a shock this is a world problem.

[@LoLuvLo]

@@JesusGodHolySpirit3 and you cannot get help if you dont have children also some women that work and have children suffer because if you work the Government wont help. The government is more subjected and willing to help those that dont want to help themselves. They just have children to continue receiving their handouts and they live better than our middle class population. Hell I run my own business and work hard for what I have and have to make paymemts on a newer vehicle however my cousin and his wife their 6 children the state of West Virginia gave them a brand new Tahoe no payments nothing and 800$ food stamps, a house, and whatever else they receive and their children are in school and theyre are MORE than capable of working. Hell she just had a free weight loss surgery and she probably only weighed 220 and couldve lost that weight easily. Ya know. But thats what they rather do!

[@Boabywankenobi]

An absolute saint, this woman. Good for you. No matter what happens in your life, you're one of the few who gets to say you made a difference.

[@peaceearth6838]

A salute to Miss Rachel Hughes for translating the real emotion in her heart to take action with her own wherewithal and endeavor hard and toil to uplift the lives of the precious little souls. I am very touched. I will try to contact her to see what I can do to assist in her great cause, which she has battled with her own compassion and determination against heavy odds. Salute her!

[@scottmiller6270]

You are an amazing human being and I hope that your dream of helping and healing more of the street children. You are the modern day mother Theresa. God bless you and the many children you have rescued.

[@Samira-hz4gs]

Such an inspirational woman!! The whole world should be filled with people like her

[@barblucas9188]

When I retire in five years I want to go with some mission groups to help these children in foreign countries. I came across a documentary of these children in Ukraine that broke my heart. So I've decided this is somethings I want to do when I am retired. 😊

[@pirittacollanius5818]

Barb Lucas i was thinking the same thing! I thougt when my own kids are big enough ( adults and they dont need me so much) i Will try to do something to help these kids out!( I only hope my healt is going to be better) but something should i be abel to do!

[@Italodancer]

Yes very good idea. I really regret I didnt do this after school. Was unemployed then. Now I have work and small children. But maybe the chance come when children older.

[@colombianflag717]

Thank you for your warm heart

[@peacelove7996]

Salute!!

2 more years to go!!!!

[@zsazsarose]

💂‍♀️Your vision is that of an angel 😇 f mercy.... may god bless you and these children. I love y’all. Especially the children ....love and light all the way from California. Xoxoxo

[@poisonivyheart6621]

What an amazing inspirational loving caring heroic woman. The government should feel ashamed that someone from a different country has to come and do a gesture that should be a given.. judge the country by how they treat their most vulnerable. These are children for heavens sake innocent children, my heart hurts

[@zoesmith1536]

I love what you do!

[@jessyh2044]

I hope i could help like this too.

[@elizabethmaldonado3455]

I think that living in America the homeless people live like kings compared to the homeless people in other countries it's sad to see homeless children keep up the good work you're doing for these children you're like mother Teresa GOD bless you

[@mmbtraveler]

Let's not exaggerate, but yes, they live much, much better

[@user-jf5cx5ud7n]

Im not Sure anyone gonna see This comment, but if you do, I always asked myself and others, is it still like this in Russia? Or has it been better now? I have seen many documentaries about street kids in Russia, most of them was filmed in the beginning of 1999 -2005. But I don't now how is it today there. God bless you all.

[@kyriljordanov2086]

Sasha It's a thousand times better in Russia now. This problem doesn't exist in Russia today. This is a generation that bore the weight of the economic and social collapse when USSR broke up. People lost jobs, were drinking to deal with the pain, kids got neglected, the state was too poor and corruption too much to deal with the problem of homeless kids. But the past 20 years Russia has corrected so many of these problems. You can't even compare Russia in the 90s with Russia today.

[@user-jf5cx5ud7n]

Kyril Jordanov i dont compare, i just asked.

[@emmaartamonova7974]

Things don’t change in Russia,millions of Russians leave “Mother Russia” and go to live in Western Europe and America.

[@pavel94732]

There were no street children in the early 2000s. But here you need to understand where they came from. These children are from dysfunctional families, their parents are beaten under the influence of alcohol, they have nothing, they have nothing to do at home .. So they wander around the streets for days on end, just to keep themselves busy... Now such a situation is a priori impossible in our country. Firstly, the guardianship authorities are very strict, if they see that the child is homeless, then they will immediately deprive the parents of their rights and the child will be sent to an orphanage. Secondly, the children themselves do not need to lead the street life of vagrants, since everyone has computers, the Internet, social networks .. Why do they need street life ??

[@roongratnemtsev2841]

When did you make this video clip ? If this is the present time , I would like joining you rescuing Russian children. Please give me your contact email or phone .

[@jim52536]

I sent a donation... Are you still in Russia?

[@scottmiller6270]

Seeing this breaks my heart. I'm glad it's gotten better but, my birth country has a way to go. Kids suffer the most and there should be more emphasis about it.

[@kellinmoore2146]

I want to adopt from Russia

[@stevecoak3843]

Better than africa

[@suesimmonds2649]

What's wrong with Russian people taking care of these children? There's something very basically human lacking in the people who live in these eastern bloc countries.

[@JesusGodHolySpirit3]

RF Russia when it comes to children mistreat, abuse, neglects to teach, care for it's children who are completely ABLE NOT handicapped at all. All the orphans - the ones that were lucky to be adopted out from RU have huge dislike for this nation it's a disgusting nation that puts me into rage. Why is a FOREIGNER in this nation taking care of it's children? The things that good hearted people do send to provide for the children alone go into the hands of criminals. The children are left behind they are as dumb-brain washed as a door nail!

[@AR-gl4eq]

It’s not a modern situation, not even 2015 when this video was released. it was during the collapse of the USSR. With Russian people everything is ok, don’t worry, and nowadays orphanages r provided with all necessary stuff. Thanks God now for Americans it‘s very very difficult to adopt Russian children.

@@JesusGodHolySpirit3 CORRUPTION

[@JesusGodHolySpirit3]

@@mrblackalchemist It's very much alive.

[@lalachka101]

Nothing is lacking with Russians, what an ignorant comment. This all happened when USSR collapsed, so many people couldn't deal with it and drank themselves to death. And yes, stopped caring for everything. You can only take care of someone else when you're yourself well mentally. And there's no homelessness in America? Look into your foster care system, listen to the kids in it. Get over yourself
