Sonia Paz Baron-Vine had a dream of making a difference in the lives of disabled orphans. Sonia is a polio survivor herself and could relate to their suffering.
After raising her three biological children, she adopted one disabled little girl with genetic malformations from Russia in 1994 and again in 1999 two disabled little boys from Ukraine, also with genetic malformations, due to their parent's exposure to the radiation cloud, that covered Ukraine from the nuclear accident of Chernobyl.
She took them to Childrens Hospital Los Angeles in California for surgeries and now these children are happy and healthy. Seeing the great need of many disabled orphans when she stayed at the orphanage for deformed orphans in Ukraine, she decided to created a non profit foundation to help these children.
The goal of our non profit foundation is to bring sick, disabled and deformed orphans from all over the world to California, to have medical care, treatment and corrective surgery.
While in the hospital, efforts will be made to find families to adopt these orphans.
Mellowswan Foundation is presently requesting grants to buy land where to build a "country house" where these children can slowly recuperate post surgery and enjoy a healthy diet, spend time with Sonia's loving family and opportunity maybe, once in their lifetime to have contact with farm animals and nature.
Please if you want to donate to make our dream a reality, write to;
Sonia Paz Baronvine
Thank you!
