Dear friends,
We are an urgent appeal for your prayers for Nastia and Andriej and their children. You are familiar with this family from our previous stories on this blog. They are the husky dog owners and we were at their house during our trips to the Taiga. They are in a very difficult situation right now. Their house burned down on Saturday. They lost everything. They have 4 children and Nastia is expecting their 5th child. They are lucky that no one was in the house when the fire started. The house was made of wood so after two hours there was nothing left but ashes. Besides this, they have lived in the Taiga, as you know, therefore by the time the firefighters came there was nothing left to save. You need to remember that there is still a lot of snow here and this made it difficult for the firefighters to get there quickly. For the present time we are trying to help them as much as we are able. Right now they are living in the rectory and in our house. We take care of their children and prepare meals for them. Our parishioners are also involved in helping Nastia and Andriej with providing material and prayerful assistance. In May, when the snow melts, we will help to build a new house for them.
Your prayers are most appreciated.
If you would like to also offer a donation to assist them, you can send the money to our bank account with the note “For Nastia and Andriej.”

Their house was a simple one but always full of love and warmth
There was nothing left only love and hope
The whole family a few hours before the fire started
