Larissa’s home was damaged when shells landed in her backyard
God opened your hearts
A mother who cares for a son with cerebral palsy is able to face the winter with glass in her windows once again – all thanks to the gifts of Blythswood supporters which paid to repair the damage done to her home by the Russian bombardment of Irpin, Ukraine.
Larissa was reduced to cooking for her family outside over an open fire in March. She and her two sons had no opportunity to be evacuated, and were trapped in the besieged town with no gas, water or electricity.
“It was extremely scary for them,” reports Tanya Shpyunova from Go Serve who identified the family as being especially vulnerable and arranged for their assistance. “Shells were constantly flying over their heads and the explosions were never-ending.
“Several shells fell right in their backyard and caused a lot of damage. Their windows were broken and their door blown out.”
Larissa says, “We believe that we survived all this because God was with us. He answered our prayers. We thank God that he opened the hearts of so many people around the world. With your help we were able to restore all the broken windows in our house.
“We really appreciate everything you do for us, especially as winter is just around the corner. I truly believe that God will repay one hundred fold for all your help.”
