Dima, the child thrown by the mother like garbage! His parents didn’t even want to see him at birth because he looked too weird, they abandoned him at the first opportunity. But a few years later, something miraculous happened: Check the comments
This is Dima Kalekin from Ukraine.
He doesn’t remember his biological parents.
At birth, Dima was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, or “water on the brain.” And when his parents saw him for the first time, they made a heartless choice.
They left the hospital without him and never looked back.
Dima was forced to begin life in a orphanage for disabled children in Krematorsk in eastern Ukraine, writes the Ukrainian newspaper Fakty i Kommentarii.
Four years later, Dima still couldn’t do simple things like eat with utensils or walk. The orphanage staff doubted that he’d develop normally in the future. But they were surprised he had survived for so long and could even say a few words.
But it wouldn’t be the last time that Dima would surprise the world.
When war broke out in eastern Ukraine in early 2014, Dima suddenly faced a new danger: the orphanage was in the middle of a disputed area.
So along with all of the other kids at the orphanage, Dima was forced to evacuate and seek safety elsewhere.
For a full week, the children and staff were forced to go from place to place without any water, food, or medicine.
Finally, a group of separatists noticed that some of the children were close to death, so they brought the children to the Ukrainian authorities.
