We arrived from Lugansk in 2014.

We left a newly purchased 3-room flat. My husband left his business and together with three children and two bags full of childrens clothes and diapers (the youngest was only 9 months old), we went to Cherkasy. We were unbelievers and never went to church.

We liked Cherkasy, and in the Hospitality Center for Refugees, Valentina Grigas introduced us to Rudenko Andrey.

He invited us to the church and to his group. In 2015, my husband and I repented and on July 4th we received water baptism. We (8 people) live in three rooms of half a house, which is under sale, and before that we moved 6 times, lived in the village, but there was not even water, school and work ...

Now we live in a house, but it was not repaired for more than 20 years - the owners went to America. Utility payments in winter consist 5-6 thousand hrivnas. The windows are filled with oilcloth and the main thing is that we can be in the street with small children at any moment again.

Therefore, we began to look for permanent dwelling. In the city everything is very expensive, my husband and I work getting small salaries and cannot even pay huge utility bills. In July, Andreys mother was diagnosed with cancer, grade 4; everything we had accumulated went into diagnosis and the start of treatment. She is now undergoing the second chemotherapy.

We pray to find a permanent place of residence. We found a house not far from the town in the village, but the train and the bus go there and it will give us the opportunity to go to the town for work and to the church, where my husband and I serve. The house costs 6000 dollars. This is a very high amount for our family! We have only 120 dollars now, but we have to exchange them for utility payments in the near future.
