From our team in Siberia. Sergei, 49 years old, who has been living with us in the drug rehab for two month already was in urgent need of some warm winter boots but he didn't tell anybody about it. Some days later, when he walked to work at the market garden with two other rehabilitation guests, a pair of winter boots -nearly new- was simply sitting at the side of the road. It had a note next to it saying: Size 43, take it! Nobody of us knew how it got there but the shoes were exactly his size... thank you Jesus!
We are still supporting Rita and her poor family, practically and materially. Every morning Aurelle is picking up the eight years old Rita at her home, helps her to get ready and brings her neat and clean to school. Aurelle also bought her the long needed pair of glases, is doing the laundry for her and her fifteen years old brother (he attents the cadet school in Omsk), assists their mother with the public authorities, purchases necessary winter clothes as well as groceries, ect. Since the dilapidated multi-family house will soon be demolished, each family got a new flat assigned by the authorities. These flats are in a much better condition than the 'stable' they are in at present. We bought some second-hand furniture for the new apartment and took care of some other nesessaties so that the family of five could move in in the beginning of December. Because of the long Sibirian winter they are still in need for more fire wood for the oven, a hot-water boiler and a washing machine. We would really appreciate it if you could help us with that.More about HELP Siberia >>
