On Friday I met Sasha again. I first met her in March of last year. She came to Project Sasha very pregnant and looking for help. The friend she was living with wanted her to leave. She delivered her daughter that very night. The staff at Project Sasha worked hard to get her into a home for young mothers in Sevastopol. It was one of very few places where she could keep her baby. She insisted that was what she wanted to do.
After about two months, she took her baby and left the home. Shortly after that, she left her baby and a bottle of milk in a crowded train station. She just disappeared.
Friday, she was back. She needed help again. Baby Maxim, in her arms, is only eleven days old. She sat in a corner and wept. She wants to keep her baby. The staff found a home for young mothers that has room for her. Sasha is seventeen.
