The launch appeal of a charitable fund that rehabilitates veterans at the Kuyalnik sanatorium
Project details
The Kuyalnik sanatorium near Odesa treats veterans with the mud of its own estuary, while visitor numbers fall and the damage from shelling waits for repair. The state cannot give every soldier full rehabilitation, so the sanatorium set up a charitable fund, and the fund needed a way to ask for help.
A short appeal in the voices of the people it is for. Dmytro, the sanatorium's manager, whom viewers may know from the documentary «Sanatorium», asks for the favour. A veteran, a history teacher on his second stay, says what the treatment gave back to him: he breathes and sleeps again, and he has started walking.
