    Fair play to these people…Hope it goes well for all and the kids get the treatment they need and deserve. (Can’t wait for the trolls to say this is more Western meddling, one would wonder why Russian charities don’t provide this care too)

    Fantastic work by very brave men and women. Some of those kids will have a life because of the choices those people made, you can’t argue with that.
