Project heating boiler TC women's home Berdychiv, Ukraine

Dear friends, we would like to share the following message from our Teen Challenge friends, Sergey & Irina Romaneko, in Ukraine, with you.

"We are all good here. Praise God, there are many people now in rehabs, with many children. Spring and summer are times for field work, and we harvest vegetables and fruit for winter. In autumn, we’ll start the study process.

The war keeps going in Ukraine… It was always calm and relatively safe in Berdychiv up until now (only in the very beginning there was a missile strike once). But on the night of the 10th of September, there was another mass attack against Ukraine. And there were many drone hits and even missile hits in our town, and even in our neighbourhood, there were about ten of those. Praise God there were no casualties!

We have an unexpected problem at our women’s rehab. Our heating boiler broke down (it was old). It will soon get colder, and we really need to buy and install the new one as quick as possible. The cost for that is €600.

Another need is some repairs in the house. The floor is rotten and needs repairs, the wallpaper torn, and there are some issues with plumbing. We figure repairs will be another €1000. 

If you can help with anything, we would really appreciate it. Blessings to you! Shalom from the Teen Challenge conference here in Ukraine."

So far, the message from Sergey and Irina. They always keep smiling and being cheerful. That's one of the reasons we're always happy to help them when the need arises. We hope you want to help them as well.
