Bad circumstances in Ukraine

This week a saw a movie about the communities in Ukraine. It was so sad to see their circumstances. I know that the people who lives in Ukraine does not have the best circumstances, but I did not know that it was that bad.

Those people are so poor. They have nothing. The movie was made by a Christian church, and they went out to these families to help them where they can. They gathered some second clothes, shoes, blankets, food, etc, that they gave away to the families in Ukraine. There is one family with a very sad story. The parents have 11 children, three of them was born normally, but they got a virus that made them so sick that those kids don't grow anymore, they can't walk, they can't talk and they can't use their brains anymore. They don't have medical services there. No doctors, no dentists and no hospitals. Their hands are cut off. No one can help them with their health, and to make it more worse is that the temperatures are most of the time during the winder under -20°C. These families don't have warm houses or clothes to protect them from the cold weather.

Most of the families don't have bathrooms at all. They cook water on the fire and bath outside or in the kitchen. They don't have toilets like us, they must go outside in the nature.

They are so positive, despite of their circumstances. They are friendly people, and they let you feel so welcome in their little 'houses'. On the movie you can see that they are so thankful for all the helping hands, it makes me sad to think that we have so much, but there don't go a day by without complaints from people like us that live in good circumstances.
