My wife and I wanted to baptize a small child from a poor family, as a humanitarian act.
We found a family with 5 children and a small child, a few days old, and we offered to properly Christianize him, to support the church costs and all other needs.


At the beginning of April 2017, we were able to baptize him. He's name is Adrian and he's 9 months old now.
Due to the conditions in which they live, a single room with a small hallway used as a kitchen, with a door that can hardly be closed, their mother went to work abroad a few months ago, and forgot about her children and family. Nobody has ever heard of her.


The father, the only one who worked day after day as an unskilled worker, is staying 6 children, the last one only a few months old.


My wife and I helped them by taking bigger children of age 6 and 9 with us, where we washed them, cut them, feed them and gave them clothes. Obviously, we also took Adrian to our home, over the weekends to help the father and care of the baby Adrian.


The problem: The place where they live now, a dump room with the size of under 20 square meters and a hallway of about 3 square meters that is used as a kitchen, costs about EUR 200 per month, with the electricity bill included.
We helped them with what we could in the last few months, partly paid for their rent, brought them food, clothes for all children, glasses, plates, baby crib, baby carriage. We signed up the biggest one at the school, and the other two younger children, enrolled at the kindergarten. But ... they left behind with rent payments and electricity bill. Me and my wife will continue to help them with what we can, but we can not help them much more than we do now.


I'm asking for your kind support to help them stay in the house where they are now, although the conditions are not really desirable, to help them bring their debts up to date and pay the rent in advance, at least during the winter. The amount needed is about 1000 EUR, which also includes some winter clothes, winter shoes, milk powder for the little one, pillows and other things that are in need.
We also want to buy a refrigerator and a washing machine (some of the clothes we take and wash them, but we can not do them all the time and not all the clothes), a stove and other things that may need.

Please donate any amount you can and be part of our desire to keep this family together! Of course your help is greatly appreciated and we are so grateful for that. All of you will be in our prayers.
