Poverty in Russia is a serious problem, and
although it may not make the international news
headlines, it is still there, and the main sufferers
are the elderly.

Old people in Russia, especially those living on
their own, have a difficult time surviving, but add
a disability to the equation and it makes their
survival virtually impossible.

It is not just because Russia doesn't have the
healthcare infrastructure to help them, their
meagre pensions condemn the vast majority to
living on a diet consisting mostly of cabbage soup
with a little black bread, or buckwheat porridge.

It is therefore no surprise that malnutrition is a
major factor in their lives.

At Nikola Mokry we do what we can with what
we have, by providing hot meals in the winter to
our congregation. But we cannot reach those in
the greatest need, those whose disablity traps
them in their homes because they are too infirm
to walk on ice and snow. We estimate that we will
need at least Ł3,500 per year to operate an
outreach programme to bring help to those in
most need.

Any donation, no matter how small, would
be greatly appreciated as it would enable
us help those in most need.

make this winter more bearable for those
in your new parish less fortunate than you.
