Mellowswan Foundation was born in 2004.

Sonia Paz Baron-Vine had a dream of making a difference in

the lives of disabled orphans.

Sonia is a polio survivor herself and could relate to their

suffering.

After raising her three biological children, she adopted one

disabled little girl with genetic malformations from Russia in

1994 and again in 1999 two disabled little boys from Ukraine,

also with genetic malformations, due to their parents exposure

to the radiation cloud, that covered Ukraine from the nuclear

accident of Chernobyl.

She took them to Childrens Hospital Los Angeles in California

for surgeries and now these children are happy and healthy.

Seeing the great need of many disabled orphans when she stayed

at the orphanage for deformed orphans in Ukraine, she decided

to created a non profit foundation to help these children.

The goal of our non profit foundation is to bring sick, disabled

and deformed orphans from all over the world to California,

to have medical care, treatment and corrective surgery.

While in the hospital, efforts will be made to find families to

adopt these orphans.

Mellowswan Foundation is presently asking for grants to

buy land where to build a "country house" where these children

can slowly recuperate post surgery and enjoy a healthy diet,

spend time with Sonia's loving family and the opportunity

maybe, once in their lifetime to have contact with farm animals

and nature.

Please if you want to donate to make our dream a reality.
