Greeting dear brothers & sisters!

It is hard for me to write this letter but I have to write it…

My name is Aleksey Korkhov, I live in Ukraine. I was born in Baku city, capital city of Azerbaijan and was living there until 2006.

When I was 13, I became an orphan, have lost my mother and grandmother in accident.

Then I 12 years was living with family of refugees from Nagorny karabakh.

It was hard for me to live in Azerbaijan since I was a child, because I could nod accept muslim culture and traditions and was persecuted for my nationality and religious convictions (I am Russian, protestant).

When I was 22 I decided to move to Ukraine. Because of God’s help I could achieve this goal.

Right now I am married, have got three kids and we’re waiting for a fourth baby to be born in about three months.

At present time because of coming baby and existing danger for health and life of my daughter I decided to move to another house.

I live in an old house. Considering this circumstance and extremely difficult financial situation of people in Ukraine, it would be very hard to sell our part of a house. Also it would be difficult to buy a house with more large area – may be in some village or in town but without communications (electricity, gas, water) or with some of them.

That is why I decided to ask for help in Internet – in order to get additional finances and have opportunity to buy a small house with all communications, not very far from bus-stop and school.

Today there are more than one million of refugees in Ukraine… I understand that these people have much more needs than I – many of them are living in rented houses, in bad conditions and don’t have even necessary things…
Nevertheless, I hope that I could get at least small financial support through this letter and could buy another place to live, where I could live more safety, have own yard and opportunity for a future enlargement of house.

I am not lazy body – I am trying to provide everything necessary for my family. I know on a different level 10 languages and perform translation of documents and texts though Internet. But I don’t have a diploma of translator and could not perform orders of huge companies or translation agencies from USA or Europe, and income from other orders which I get hardly allow me to cover expenses for public utilities and buying food.
I don’t seek for luxury. We don’t have a car, smart-phones, I delay attending a dentist though tooth pain worries me. Also I have to treat chronic bronchitis which could progress into bronchial asthma. Beef, cheese and bananas are delicacies for our family. We buy clothes in “second-hand” shops and new shoes are bought only for our kids. I don’t complain to these troubles, now many people have difficulties and many have much more troubles then we do.

PLEASE, pray, that God would help to find additional finances for buying a house!

In love of Christ,

Aleksey Krokhov
