We talked about Christmas to many people and over 500 children received gifts and participated in the celebration! At the oncology hospital, we held a puppet show and sang songs about the birth of Jesus with children and their parents, and the medical staff was also present and there were many questions and expressions of gratitude.
Now in the hospital, together with other children is Lerka Burmakova, she was transferred from St. Petersburg two months ago. Her mother was deprived of parental rights and the child may be in an orphanage, but since her health is constantly in danger, it is better for her to be in the hospital. We visit her and replace the family as much as possible. We help her study, buy things and necessary medicines.
A special surprise I received in the hospice, we came to show the Christmas performance and to give gifts, and we were greeted by all the staff of the children’s hospice – 21 people – and they set tables for us.
We listened to many warm words, then I told them my wish and spoke about the essence of Christmas, it was a good time, there were many questions, and there is a desire to gather once a month and talk about the Bible and how to understand and apply it. It is a miracle of God – I prayed for four years to organize a small group with these wonderful people. Thank you friends for your love and participation!
