Description

Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

I was born in Kyiv. My mother had complicated delivery with me. When I was born I was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. When I was two my father left the family. I studied in the ordinary school for the first two grades and then was moved to a school for retarded kids. Conditions there were terrible so after two years I had spent there my mother took me home. Now we live together.

Where did you work? Was your work good? Were you happy with your job?

I cannot work because od my disability. I live with my mother – we have good living conditions. I ask God to stop the war soon and for peace in Ukraine. Praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ!

Tell about your present life.

I know everything about life and ministry of Jesus Christ. I read all Christian magazines for kids. I also like to watch cartoons.

Have you accepted Christ? How long have you been following the Lord?

I believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. Since I was little I was interested in His life. I know His commandments. He enables me to live. My mother and I have been in St. Paul Church for over 20 years.

 Tell about one thing your sponsor needs to know about you.

I am thankful to our church and all its sponsors for care and nice treatment. Our ministers are always welcoming. I am very thankful. Let God give you good health and at least some joy in this terrible time of the war. I love you all!
