Galena's story

I also asked Galena to tell me how she ended up in this place and her story is heartbreaking, but as she said, not rare or the worst one. Galena lived in Moscow in one room of the community flat together with her son. And it seems like all the troubles began at the same time. First, her son was put to jail for some criminal act. Then some so-called real estate agents deceived Galena by selling her room without her permission. When she tried to return it, on the very day when she and her friend were going to meet with the agents, a mini-van run into them. Galena with severe injuries spent several months in a hospital, now homeless, without documents and not knowing what happened to her son. Her friend helped her to get a special sanction to stay in the rehab center for half a year. What a sad story! Nevertheless, as sad as it may sound I saw the Lord goodness and His hand upon Galena’s life. She is still alive; she can walk now with a go-cart, even though as she testified, some months ago she thought she would not be able to, she has shelter and food. Now she also has Hope! Before we said good-bye to each other, I gave Galena a hug, and you know how sometimes somebody gives you a hug, and you know it is from the Lord, I think it was this way for Galena.Now she knows that Jesus loves her.
