\u201cI know what it\u2019s like to be a child that no one wanted. People laughed at my dream of singing. I was humiliated for daring to dream big. But even a broken heart can become a voice of love. Pure Heart Global Mission by Dmytro Garbovskyi is my way of reaching the children who are waiting for warmth, care, and a simple human \u201cI\u2019m here,\u201d says Dmytro Garbovskyi, Founder & President in a statement.<\/p>\n
