Two years ago, my wife Anya saw an advertisement in a local newspaper asking to help their family with groceries. We began to visit them and befriended them, told about ourselves and about our faith. They are a traditional Ingush family, 3 children (two girls and a teenage boy). The family lived in a small plywood house of 20 m² (215sf). Here they huddled for about 7 years. During this time, Ruslan began to build their house, but he only had enough money for the property and the foundation of the house. Later Amina fell ill and received a new valve in her heart. Since then Amina has been on medication.
Ruslan was able to complete the walls and roof of the house, which allowed the family to move out of the plywood shack. The house does not yet have heating, furniture, and appliances, but there are already walls, windows, doors and a roof over their head.
On Christmas Day, we gave their children winter jackets, which our brother sewed with his own hands. Together we chose the material for it. That really appealed to Ruslan and Amina. Our family has become a frequent guest in their house and at their table, which shows a very trusting relationship with the Ingush.
We want to help them by buying a gas boiler for heating, a stove for cooking, and purchase a desk with chairs for their children to study. We heartily ask you to participate in this need. We need to raise about $1,400. Many blessings to you.
