Diana Prykhodko is the child of a woman who suffered with mental illness and drug and alcohol abuse. She sustained such severe physical and emotional abuse during her mother's episodes that she felt the only way to escape was to live on the snow-covered streets in Kiev, Ukraine.  

Through unexpected encounters, she found hope, and finally, love and healing. Hear her beautiful story of survival and transformation!

 

"Forgiveness is not for that person who offended you. It’s actually for YOU, to set YOU free."  - Diana Prykhodko

 

Diana's story is in the works to become a film called, Scars of an Orphan. Her story is one that must be shared. Each one of us carries the potential to change a life in an instant, with even the smallest of acts.   

Thank you Diana, for sharing your personal journey with me!  I am honored to hear it, and to meet you!
