Update from the Single Mothers Home (House of Hope)
From Sister Kamila, at the House of Hope (Single Mother’s Home) to CONU VP Ken Rackers on 9/19/24.
Thank you very much, our good friend… the situation in Sumi [about 100 miles north of Single Mothers Home] has become very aggravated. Today I met with a neighbor who came to us from there [Sumi] and he says that there really are people living in the basements again, hiding, that there are like the eyes of the shelling, but for now, thank God, everything is more or less [alright] but there are arrivals [attacks] in Kharkov (The Single Mothers home is about 15 Km west] … the children have started school, only now at our house [The facilities of the Single Mothers Home… Local kids don’t go to school, it is online] … Some of our mothers left for Germany… we are waiting for others — new [mothers and children] to come. … I am a little worried, we will buy firewood for the winter because it is not clear what will happen with this electricity. For now we have [electric power], thank God, and in our houses … that we’ll heat with firewood and the house will be warm. So I think we’ll manage somehow. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you. We also pray for peace because this war is destroying everything. People in Russia don’t have anything. And everyone dreams that it will end …. Say hello to all our friends … we also always pray for you every day for … help mainly from you [CONU].
