Children in the Ukraine need help. The United Nations says more than 1,000 children have been injured since the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022.
Six-year-old Karolina Daremyan is one of those children. She was asleep with her mother last October when Russian forces shelled their home in Nikopol, Ukraine. The mother was hospitalized, and the young child’s injuries were so severe that both of her legs were amputated below the knee.
The Ukranian hospital system has been overwhelmed, and only a fraction of those injured children have been able to make the difficult journey to the United States for complicated medical procedures and rehabilitation.
Karolina is one of the lucky ones. She was received treatment in Boston, Mass at Shriners Hospital. This video tells the story of how she was fitted with prosthetics and learned to walk again.
