Our dear kind wizards, from the bottom of the heart thank we for your help and support in raising funds for the treatment of Alesha! I have no words to express how much our family is grateful to you! We thank the leaders and voluteers of the Russian Orthodox Diakonia in Europe, the “Good Deed”, all the donators and those who have helped us with kind words, prayer and deed. With your help, Alesha underwent a rehabilitation course at the Olinek clinic in Budapest, and I could be with him. We are happy that there are such bright people in the world as you, that they do not leave us alone and help to fight the disease. With your support, Alyosha’s condition considerably improves , you give us the strength to go forward. Thank you for your kindheartedness, our benefactors!
