A support group's survey found that young people who are difficult to rely on parents raised in an orphanage due to the influence of the new coronavirus have lost their jobs or become mentally unstable, etc. It was.

The NPO "Bridge Force Smile", which supports youths who have grown up with the support of orphanages and foster parents and who have difficulty relying on their parents, surveyed last month whether the spread of infection had affected their lives. I conducted a survey.

Twenty-nine people answered, and 24 people answered that “income is expected to decrease”, which is 35% of the total. Some were fired.

Youths said, "I have no income in April, and I'm worried about rent, utility costs, and living expenses."

When asked about their mental status, 39 people answered that they were “slightly depressed” and “terribly depressed,” accounting for 56% of the total.

Some of them say, "My friends around me have help from my parents' home, but I don't have that. I envy someone who feels supported by someone." Or "What happened to me when I got corona? I was so lonely that I felt lonely, and I was asked for mental care.

Keiko Hayashi, the representative of NPO, said, “I'm lonely, I'm worried that I can't rely on anyone because my thoughts are becoming more and more negative. I'm worried that I can't hesitate to ask me when I'm in trouble.” I am.
