Dear Alina:

Dear Alina!

Let me express my great gratitude to you, you and your women – volunteers for their help during my stay in Germany. Those are Alexandera, Anzhelochka, and Lyudmila. I can not imagine what I’d do without the help of these good people. Unfortunately, the results of the surgery are not quite positive, as I was told: “What do you want, this is the third surgery”, so it became worse. But, thanks to God, at least these lovely women assisted me in my puny state. They have not left me but helped. Indeed, it appeared it was very difficult for me to be unaccompanied, I did not think it is so difficult. May God grant you and your families health and good luck, and let the people that are so sympathetic and involved as you are, always come across on your way. I will always remember those who helped me. Huge thanks !!!!
Sincerely, Lyudmila Vasilyeva.

We want to wholeheartedly thank the volunteers from the orthodox Diakonia Good Deed from the city of Cologne. Thank you so much for your help; with our daughter Riana Safargalina we were having an examination in the Asklepios children’s clinic in Sankt Augustin, then the children’s clinic in Cologne, due to changed dates for the hospitalisation and illness of the child we ended up in a very difficult situation, we simply did not expect to stay in Germany for so long. We got help with our visas, moving places, food, money, translations, and everything was done with dedication, we also got picked up and driven back to the airport. Thanks to you we have gone through everything and have returned home. Thank you so much for your kind hearts, for your existence, it is so important in a foreign country to find such kind, communicative, lovely people.

A huge parental thank you, may God give you and your family good health and protect you from misfortune, and give you strength to develop and spread your benevolent work. Please accept our thanks and a low bow! May God protect you!

Safargalin Family


Greetings, Alina, Anton and Anna!

I would like to thank you from the deep of my heart for that really GOOD DEED you do.
Many thanks for your help and warmth. It is very moving that there are people in alien country that are ready to support in a bad moment.

Thank God, our visit with my son has resulted in dismissing the grave diagnosis of Moscow doctors. Yet after having gone through all the stages of preparation for the trip, I understand the value and importance of your activities.
Success and prosperity to all of you.

With full respect,
Kozlova Natalia Victorovna


Greetings, Alina!

The course of the treatment was not easy for Nikita. In the middle of the course, he has caught chickenpox. He was quarantineed for several days and had fever and itch. Thank God, the clinic personnel took it calmly and allowed us to resume rehabilitation after the crisis period. Nikita missed a just few days of treatment at the clinic. Of course, the disease has sat back our progress. His body has weakened. But Nikita has recovered, and the treatment at the clinic once again brought good results. Thank you so much!!!!

Our dear friends and sponsors in Germany!
I thank you from the deep of my heart as only a mother can thank for the fact that in harsh time you have been with us and helped to purchase for my sonny in orthopaedic workshop “Pohlig” at the clinic Aschau these devices to learn to stand! After more than 3 years Denis could not stand on his own due to a terrible chiasm which developed as a result of the limb spasticity. And now we train the legs, strengthen bones, stand for a few hours a day and thank the Lord that He sent us help from the people! This is a neat apparatus, covered by pictures of airplanes, little boats and cars – all symbols of motion. So right it is since our goal is the motion! Denis day stoically endured endless fitting of the apparatus for 5-6 hours per day. The result is – thanks to the experts – that the standing in the device is very comfortable.

Alina dear, convey my thanks to all, to all those who in your close-knit team helps with the heart and soul to our babies! Thank to Iryne Yarets, who with her husband visited us on weekends in the clinic and met Denis. Denis has been thoroughly pleased with the acquaintance, just  simply overwhelmed with emotions! Ira Zhytomyrskaya and Natasha Belgorodskaya were always in touch and sometimes even translated for us on phone. Health to you, our dear sponsors, let all wrong have gone from your life! Lord bless you!

Krasnikovy, Denis and his mother.


Alina, greetings to you!


I am already in Russia, I have been fully examined. For 2 years of treatment in Russia I was never examined that attentively as here in Germany! I can not remember the diagnosis they give, yet they said I will live, and to start to move more is the most important for now. In Russia, I was told not to move, just lie in bed, and this ruined my feet. Now I’m in the rehabilitation centre of the Interior Ministry, there is a resourceful medical facility, with a lot of swimming pools, fitness centre, physiotherapy. I am trying already to make the first steps without the support of crutches. Of course it does not always go well, but the spirit is the most important, and that I have. Alexander turned to be a very good , serious and responsible, precisely like you said! He really helped me very much over there! And the doctors there are just angels in comparison with our doctors, they listen attentively, and explain everything in detail. In short, I am delighted !!!!!!!

And many thanks to you for your help, Alina!!!! You gave me a chance to start a new life!!! I fear to think what would happen to me without your help!


Our dear friends and sponsors, those who take part in fate of our Artem!!!! Many-many thanks to you!!!!!
This super-device has finally reached us!!!!
The exercise bike “Motomed” is finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hoeraaa!
Artyomka has tried it already, shook all the cogs, explored all the buttons, twisted all pedals, did not leave it the whole evening. So much joy it was for, he kept repeating: ‘they do not take it away, this is a gift for me, yeah, I have friends like this !!!’

Many thanks for the present you made for our son Artem. And it happened so that he got it on his birthday!!! Our family has been dreaming of such exercise bike, yet, unfortunately, we could not afford it. The treatment in clinics costs much money and vigour while the device allows everyday training on his own.
Dear friens, thank you for such a valuable contribution to the health of our child, for your invaluable help! It’s not just a training device, it is a chance for Artem to began to walk on his own and get healthy!!! Thank you for the opportunity and chance to gave to us !!!!

Health, happiness, good luck to you and your families !!!
With full respect, Kovalev family and yours Artem.


Our dear friends!
We would like very much to tell you how the dream of our daugter Sofia came true.
For several years we struggle with her grave illness. Now Sofia is treated in a Stuttgart clinic.

Even before the disease started, Sofia dreamed of visiting Paris. The child’s dream got a response in the good hearts of the parishioners of St. Nicholas in Stuttgart.

It also got a warm response in the French capital. By the blessing of the rector of the Cathedral of Three Saints in Paris, Fr. Mark, the parishioners warmly greeted greeted, and have organized a full program, so that for our stay of a week we have not only visited sites and admire the beauty of the city, but have also been in holy places. Sophia was thrilled! Notre Dame, the Louvre, Versailles and of course – fabulous Disneyland. For a week, she has forgotten all the troubles and has been just a 13-year-old girl that got to the city of her dream.

We did not regret to leave beautiful Paris, since we got not only the memories to keep: we made friends, which we will never forget. And it may be that someday, when all the troubles are left behind, we will meet again. And of course it would be improper not to mention that this trip would never take place without your involvement, your good will and your prayers.

May God bless you,

April 2014     Sergei Ryzhov, father of Sofia
