“Vasia is a graduate of Tsurupinsk Orphanage. He has created the paintings shown above. Amazingly, because of his disabilities, he paints solely with his mouth."
.
"When he aged out of the orphanage as a teenager he was able to attend vocational training for two years. After he graduated the officials in the region where he lived simply put him on the train to Kiev, basically transferring all their responsibility to another area. Vasia had nothing in Kiev.”

She's a busy mom with a husband, and as she says, two children that are homegrown and two from Tsurupinsk. She's also a nurse, so she is busy but also a volunteer with An Orphan Smiles.
