The “Wheels for Life” Bus has been designed as a safe haven for the 5,000 Jewish and non-Jewish homeless children—some as young as six years old—who live in alleys, abandoned buildings, and apartment lobbies of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine.
Purchased with funds raised by the Jewish community of Great Neck, New York, the bus is outfitted with perimeter seating to create a warm environment and facilitate conversation, and is staffed with specially-trained counselors who offer the children food, medical care, and the chance to get off the streets and into an orphanage. |
