From Sasha


Thank you everyone!  The goal has been met.  Actually it has been exceeded by about $100.00 so far.   We already sent $200.00 and plan to send him the rest in a few weeks.  He is incredibly thankful. Yes we could send all the money at one time, but it would probably be spent a lot quicker.  He has not had anyone to teach him how to spend wisely, plan ahead, and to budget.   Little by little I hope to find ways to share and teach him.  The goal is to help him out a little each month, but not have him fully depend on this money.

I wanted to share what he just wrote me.

Christine, thank you for what you have done for me. And now I
I want to thank those people who helped me. Now I do not even
I know what to say. I am very pleased that there are people in the world
who care for others. You know, for me it is the happiness that you
there. Suppose I do not know, but I will only say one thing, you have a very good
heart and it's great. Once I read the Bible a very
important information. There were these words help our neighbor if he
needs your help and bypassing his side. Now I am even more
began to believe in God. He really exists. This I at 100
percent know. I know that he pomoget one who believes in him. And you know
for me it is a miracle. The money that you gave me I use to
Living in an apartment and food. I'll be praying for you to have all
it was good. Once again all of you who have helped me a lot and a huge
Thank you. With love your brother Sasha.


Кристин, большое вам спасибо за то что вы для меня сделали. А теперь я
хочу поблагодарить тех людей которые мне помогли.  Сейчас я даже не
знаю что вам сказать. Мне очень приятно то что есть на свете люди
которые заботятся за других людей. Знаете, для меня это счастье что вы
есть. Пусть я вас не знаю, но скажу лишь одно, у вас очень добрые
сердца и это очень здорово. Однажды я в библии прочитал одну очень
важную информацию. Там были такие слова помоги ближнему если он
нуждается в твоей помощи и не обходи его стороной. Сейчас я еще больше
стал верить в бога. Он действительно  существует. Это я уже на все 100
процентов знаю. Я знаю что он помогет тому кто в него верит. И знаете
для меня это чудо. Эти деньги которые вы мне дали я использую для
проживания в квартире и на пищу. Я буду за вас молится чтобы у вас все
было хорошо. Еще раз вам всем кто мне помог большое и огромное
спасибо.  С любовью  ваш брат Саша.

  1. Maybe your missionary friends would consider being trustees for his money, till he can learn how to budget his living expenses!?! Just a thought. His letter is really sweet. Praise God he can see that this is truly a blessing from the Lord. Sent you and Rachel an email. Your cheerleader Elaine :p

  3. Hello... Happy birthday Oliver. OK, so I am just curious. You mention and talk about Sasha so much that I was just wondering why you don't adopt him or have him come live with you in America for a better life. What are your thoughts?

  6. I'm so glad he's getting help and he's right, your heart is awesome. :) It's tough enough to make it in the world as a young person, I can't imagine doing it without the support of a family.

  7. My heart wanted to donate, too, but I have Sergei's sister and her little girl, and Nastia's grandmother and two bit brothers.... All desperately poor. If I could find some easy way I'd send them just a bit a month. If you find a good way, let me know.
