Any Update On Yuri and Slavcho?

I am sure many here will want to know the update on both Yuri and Slavcho after their hospitalisations. Any news anyone?

Pete, in Amanda's absence either Carole or I will email Doug and ask if he can give us an update on the boys. We will post any news on the as soon as we can.

re: Any Update On Yuri and Slavcho?

I have just posted an email from Doug (on Amanda's behalf) of the exciting plans that they have for the children. This can be found on the About the Children page (link below).

In this email Doug has asked if there is anyone who could supply the boys with two fold down netted goals for six a side football.

Thanks
Andie

Hello to all,

I am unaccustomed to writing on forums, this is a first for me, my virginal post. Amanda is not well at the moment (and don’t I know it) I believe that I could have run a marathon running around doing Amanda’s work today, not even I thought she did so much, I am exhausted.

I have heard what wonderful and friendly people you all are from Amanda on numerous occations. My hat goes off to you Pete for putting up with her. My two lovely, delectable, energetic lady friends ...
Hello to all,

I am unaccustomed to writing on forums, this is a first for me, my virginal post. Amanda is not well at the moment (and don’t I know it) I believe that I could have run a marathon running around doing Amanda’s work today, not even I thought she did so much, I am exhausted.

I have heard what wonderful and friendly people you all are from Amanda on numerous occations. My hat goes off to you Pete for putting up with her. My two lovely, delectable, energetic lady friends Carole and Andie have been a great support and I personally thank them too. I look forward too seeing many of you on the 14th. Pete what can I say, you are a brave man and deserve a medal for the skiathong.

My contributions are small in comparison, I get to do the fun things, play soccer with the boys, pep talks to the boys, fitness with all, and be the general fix it man oh and chauffer to all the kids.

I spent time visiting Yuri in hospital, it was clear that he was scared, I tried to reassure him. I had to return to my family in Sofia the day prior to Yuri’s operation. Unfortunately Yuri absconded from the hospital just a couple of hours prior to his operation. Yuri lived in the forest for several days prior to returning yesterday to the institute cold, scared and extremely hungry. Amanda was at the institute when he arrived, it was a very emotional time for them both, he explained he was worried he may die having the operation and wished she was at the hospital to comfor him. Amanda made Yuri warm soup and chatted in private to him. I am unsure of the nature of the conversation and she will not betray a confidant, but Yuri seemed happier after. Yuri will be placed on a waiting list for his operation to be re scheduled, I believe Amanda will be their this time, Yuri is very close to Amanda and he thinks highly of her.

I know that Amanda should not have favourites, but she has an even bigger soft spot for Slavcho. As you are aware he sustained burns to his penis and testicles that would bring a tear to anyone’s eyes. Slavcho does not talk and is different from the other children; it is hard to gage how he feels. He has started to sit down again, therefore his wound must be healing, I am told that he is improving.

Gabie’s plaster has now been removed, she still walks with a limp and her knee is still a concern but she feels much happier now.

A new boy arrived named Defcho, he has huge scars across his head and face, he is about 14 years old and cowered as I went to say hello too him, he was terrified. I would hate to know this boys history. The staff just stated that he was an idiot, of course I pulled them up on using such wording, they did say that he sustained his wounds at home. I left the room at this point for fear of looking at the address he came from. Some people don’t deserve to be parents.

Amanda is threatening to go to the children in the morning to take photographs ect I am sure she will be on the forum again soon.

Thank you too all whom are making the effort to help these children, they are really worth it, there are some great kids here, with good hearts and great potential.

re: Any Update On Yuri and Slavcho?

Sorry Doug - you can't fool us. We know you are so much more than a play mate for the children.

Thanks for your posting, very descriptive and thanks for all you do.

How could we get football goals out to you, unless on a lorry?
