Runaways and troublemakers. Orphans whose parents died of AIDS or for lack of basic medical care. For a variety of heartbreaking reasons, 5,000 children sleep in Dnepropetrovsk’s alleys, abandoned buildings, and apartment lobbies. Until the Great Neck, NY, Jewish community purchased the Wheels for Life bus, no one in the entire former Soviet Union was combing the area to offer these children food, medical treatment, and a chance to get off the streets. As night falls, the Wheels for Life bus driver and social worker cruise city streets to give hot food and medical treatment to these vulnerable children. All children are offered help regardless of religious background. Whenever possible, Jewish children are offered placement in the Benenson Homes.
