Saint Nicholas Day in Torez

Thanks to everyone who helped to please 50 children from large families of Torez and Khartsyzsk on the occasion of St. Nicholas Day, as well as families with disabled children and cancer patients, as well as children who do not have parents. Thanks to your donations, our Foundation has purchased tangerines, apples, cookies, waffles, ‘Kontik’ sandwiches, ten different types of chocolates, waffle, jelly and sucking sweets. All this was formed into 50 gift sets. Thanks a lot to our assistants! The sets turned out to be quite weighty – enough to make every child’s eyes shine with happiness on St. Nicholas Day! The gifts were handed out by our wonderful Santa Claus, Russell Bentley, who was brought to the children by Saint Nicholas himself. He brought him to a very warm, sincere festival in one of the restaurants in Torez, where 25 children with their parents were able to come, the rest of the children got their gift sets at home and at the boarding school of Kharzyzsk. Unfortunately, because of the quarantine, we were not allowed to hand them over in person. And the wonderful show was organized by the sunny, sincere guys and girls from ‘Kind Hearts’ volunteer theater group. Thank you very much to everyone who contributed to this holiday! And our Father Boris blessed all those present. We thank him very much for his spiritual guidance to children, and adults too. Thanks for his wise words. Let the life of St. Nicholas always be an example for us to which we should all strive! Happy holiday, dear friends!
