Be part of creating
a wonderful future for an orphan girl named Ela.
Ela ages out and graduates from the orphanage in June of 2008. Director
Galkina has kindly offered to help bring Ela back to Zaporizhzhya and care for her until the USA releases a special visa.
At that time Sonia
will go to Ukraine and bring her to her home in California USA, which will be very soon.
A personal message from Sonia:

Dear Friends,
The reason for this video is to tell the story of a deformed orphan girl in Ukraine.
Her name is ELA and she is 18 years old.
Once you see the video, if you
can help her, click on the following link to go to the Mellow Swan Foundation secure donation page. Twenty dollars for
Ela has been the standard gift.

Learn about Sonia
Please learn more about our friend Sonia and what she does. It would seem
that Sonia lives a life of elegant ease because she is an elegant lady.
But my friends, she has had some
rough bumps and bruises not of her doing and undeserved. She has suffered polio, earned a gold record in Chile, heard applause and she has been
crushed.
Sonia seems to get up and dust herself off, smile her special smile and move on. She gives of herself until
it hurts and then gives some more.

After my asking her two or three times Sonia permits me to share: ‘‘Ok here is a bit about me’’ Sonia is a Chilean
born American citizen and the mother of three biological adult children, the grandma of two little boys and the adoptive
mother of three "Chernobyl Children".

All of the orphans were born with deformities due to their parent's exposure to the radiation
cloud of Chernobyl.
Sonia has made her life mission saving the abandoned deformed orphans,
first by adopting three orphans in critical need of medical help.

After seeing the great need for medical care while in Ukraine in 2004 she founded
Mellowswan Foundation, a medical charitable non profit foundation.
Right now, Sonia and some
friends are trying to bring Ela, an 18 year old deformed orphan girl, from Ukraine to the USA to have corrective surgery
on her hands and feet.
| Was it worth it? You decide. |

“Please
spread the video among all your friends, family, church and office.”
“Together
we can make a difference in the life of a young woman who has never had a chance to have the things we take for granted.”
Thank You,
Sonia
That did not
begin to cover the amazing life of Sonia Paz Baron-Vine. Perhaps some day she will expand her bio for us. Until then the photos
on this page might give you a few hints.
